Join us to be in sacred space as we head into the energy of spring equinox..
Calling all women who want to explore the theme of emerging from the dark into the light. The spring equinox acts as a sacred time of light renewal after the dark winter. The crocus is a symbol for rebirth and hope, it has the ability to hold both the cold of winter and the gentle awakening warmth of spring. We hope that together we will continue to foster deeper connections with other women in sacred space during this powerful season of transition. We will gather in the Meach Cove Sanctuary on Sunday, March 15th from 4:00 pm until 6:30 pm to deepen our understanding of ourselves through your choices of meditation, movement, exploration opportunities, sharing, deep listening practices, ritual and community. Feel free to bring food if you need it (we have a microwave/fridge). Come early as we hope to have all registered by 3:45 pm so we can start on time.
Please bring: A water bottle, a journal and pen if you wish, outdoor clothing if you wish to be outdoors, loose comfy clothing if you choose to be indoors, a donation if you didn't register online, 'anything else that makes you feel at home.
May this be a prayer to all that continues to change and transition and awaken in our world to do so in sacred surrender and with the wisdom and trust of the crocus. Please register by Wednesday, March 11th if able, so we can keep you posted on any changes. You can register and make a donation at the door on the day of but it's best to register ahead of time to ensure that we have enough space and can set up as needed. contact kglynn@allsoulsinterfaith.org and register online
