As the Earth crosses the threshold of the Vernal Equinox, we find ourselves in the fleeting moment of 1:1 balance—where day and night sit in equal length. This is a potent time to pause. We invite you into ritual and rest to honor your own internal equinox: the meeting of your shadowed and illuminated selves.

This two-hour journey is designed to nourish your nervous system through three distinct layers of practice:

  • Embodiment: The Dance of Polarities Through gentle, invitational movement, we will explore the balance of Yin and Yang. This is a practice of Self-Stewardship, allowing you to feel where you are holding shadow and where you are ready to expand light, without the need to change either.

  • Ceremony: Sacred Cacao Ceremony Share in this ceremony to access, clarify and purify the heart's potency 

  • Integration: Yoga Nidra We close our circle in a state of supported stillness, where you will be guided through a full-body listening practice, allowing deep integration.
