Forest Temple: Spring Equinox
Sun, Mar 20

Spring Equinox marks the beginning of Aries season. It is traditionally the day of equilibrium, neither harsh winter nor the merciless summer, and is a time of childish wonder. The equinox occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north, marking the beginning of spring.

About the Program
Our seasonal celebrations weave together nature-connection practices; reflection, contemplation, prayer; ritual & play; eco-craft-making; music, song & dance; land tending & stewardship; and ancestral animism. The nature of how we gather is ever-evolving and follows the changing tides of the seasons. So we learn to pay attention to the way that Earth speaks to us, sings to us, whispers to us. We are guided by Earth wisdom as we deepen our relationship to Her, so everything we do is centered around cultivating this bond.
