At 10:46am, the earth will balance itself in perfect, equal halves of light and dark.

Celebrate the arrival of longer, brighter days with the animals and new growth at the Sanctuary. We will offer a Sunset Yoga session, a warm soup dinner, and activities for planting new seeds for spring gardens.

Key Spiritual Themes

• Balance & Harmony: The equal day and night symbolize balancing the inner (dark, introspective) and outer (light, active) worlds.

• Renewal & Rebirth: A powerful time to shed the old (winter's dormancy) and welcome new growth, fresh perspectives, and spiritual awakening

• Hope & Optimism: The increasing daylight brings a sense of hope and the promise of abundance after the quiet of winter. 

Nature’s Practices for Spring Equinox

• Rituals: Engage in activities like planting seeds, cleaning your space (physical and spiritual), or creating altars with candles (white, green, yellow) and natural elements.

• Meditation & Yoga: Connect with nature's rhythms through mindful movement, meditation, and embracing the flow of life.

• Gratitude: Express thanks for the returning light and Nature’s light.
