I always feel a little bit lighter once we’ve made it through January. A fun fact that I like to pull out this time of year is that those of us in the northern U.S. gain over 70 minutes of light during the month of February. The increase in light is greater between now and the Spring Equinox than the increase in light between the Equinox and Summer Solstice. So there’s that to look forward to.
And oddly enough, I often feel like the transition from winter to spring can feel more challenging in some way. It feels like there is an expectation that because the days are getting longer the weather should be warmer but that’s not quite how it works in northern New England.
In order to support you during this liminal space, I am offering a workshop called Winter Sanctuary, which includes 6 weeks of practice emails that I hope will inspire you during this time.
While the ground may be frozen and dormant, processes are unfolding deep below the surface that move towards growth and renewal. While it's tempting to want to rush this process, we know that nature moves at its own pace. This offering will ask you to honor that pace and spend time contemplating the gifts of your practice and prepare for shifts felt both internally and externally.
In-person workshop: March 1 | 7:00 - 8:30 pm
