“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”


-from Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

A little bit more about it

And why now?

At Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, it means the lightness and darkness is equal. The spring is springing around us everywhere. The lambs are teenagers and the sprouts have become confident saplings. Everything is vim, vigour and vivid greens and pinks. Earth wakes up as light begins to over takes the dark with a whimsical flirtatiousness.

This time of year was Oestara in the pagan calendar. Becoming Easter in the Christian calendar. The stone of darkness roles away and the light bringer (Jesus in this case) is brought back to life. Feeling much better! The metaphor is no accident.

How might we harness this potent, giddy energy of Spring as it begins to tip towards the exposed fullness of Summer? This is a time in the natural bodies of all Northern Hemisphere beings of zest, libido and generative renewal. How might we ride the energy of all this without over doing it? How might we apply this energy in our daily lives? Let's explore.

Workshop Flow

This is a 3 hour (half day) workshop.

If you are joining via the recording, or revisiting, you can stop, start and explore at your own pace.

We begin by setting our intentions. We will do this via a guided somatic ritual for envisioning this moment in the year and how it is inside you - feeling (not thinking) your way into your intentions and your visions.

Then you will be invited to move that vision into physical expression. I will guide you in some somatic movement to music, exploring the tensions and potentials of this potent point in Spring where light and dark is equally balanced.

Then after a break, there's will be a sharing circle, followed by time to turn what ever we are present to into creative expression. This could be writing, drawing, painting, collaging or more moving. To support this you will be given potent seasonal prompts. To complete we have another sharing circle at the end and a closing prayer.
