After a winter rest, the power of spring time surges through nature – and through us – spring is an expression of life at it's strongest.
At this turning point we acknowledge the wisdom of winter, the darker colder days teach us that withdrawal is neccessary for renewal. a time when we look inward, reflect, nourish ourselves with wholesome food, a slower pace of life, rest and recuperation.
In spring , those aspects of us that have been dormant over the winter months begin to awaken.
Just as nature enters a cycle of renewal, growth and expansion – so does the energy within us.
Let us encourage our energy and spirits to emerge as earth moves into a season with more warmth and light, let us focus on growth, strength and abundance.
Let us energize our bodies with more movement, breathe in the fresh spring air and see the beauty in nature as spring unfolds.
This is the season to plant seeds for a future harvest, to look ahead and make new plans, formulate new ideas, make designs, and determine our direction for the coming year ahead.
Full Worm Moon – March As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signalled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.
