A Gentle Turning
Spring arrives in a quiet but undeniable way - light returning, soil softening, the first green buds peeking out of the Dogwood and Redbud trees.
Please join me to welcome the season and enjoying being together in community.
Together we’ll plant seeds, share laughter, and name what we’re growing this season... and what we are joyfully done growing.
Sound & Stillness
Crystal bowls, gongs, and drumming will support deep relaxation and quiet listening.
No experience needed. Simply rest and allow the sound to move through you, helping the body and mind settle and integrate.
Planting What Wants to Grow 🌱
Together we’ll plant seeds to take home and nurture this spring.
You might name your pot:
• what I’m growing besides basil
• less overthinking, more living
• patience… probably
• boundaries & tomatoes
• the ability to relax already
Humor is our medicine :)
You’ll also create a small herbal intention bundle to keep through the season.
Bring it to the Harvest gathering in September or return it to the earth at home with simple instructions that will be provided.
Time on the Land
After tea, we’ll wander together into the Hollow, moving slowly among the trees.
This is an easy, mindful walk - a chance to breathe, notice, and let the natural world do what it does best: bring us back to ourselves.
Dinner is Served
Enjoy a homemade meal prepared with love.
All allergies and food preferences are easily accommodated.
Fire Circle Gathering 🔥
As evening softens into night, we will gather around the fire to welcome the Equinox and mark the turning of the season.
With a glass of wine, sparkling water, herbal tea, or something mysteriously delightful in hand, stories shared, and the warmth of the flames between us, we will take a simple moment to name what we are welcoming this spring.
This is an easy, welcoming space filled with laughter, and the quiet pleasure of being creatures on the Earth together.
What to Bring
• a journal
• comfortable clothing
• an open curiosity
For the walk:
• water bottle
• sturdy shoes
Everything else will be provided.
With Love and Appreciation,
Susan
