First steps toward fruition
Happy May Day & Beltane! We are at the midway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. The natural world is demonstrating the benefits of winter hibernation and germination with the spring bulbs blooming and the trees flowering. In our lives we can also see the sprouts and blooms of our own efforts and inspiration. As we move into the month of May we are boosted by the energy of forward movement and opportunities, bringing our dreams and desires into the first steps of fruition. You can read more about the astrological energies of the month at Forever Conscious or The Power Path.
Last weekend’s retreat was a wonderful reminder of the power of gathering together to create community. It was my honor to host five beautiful souls (shown in the picture above) as we discovered unexpected connections, listened to our inner wisdom, explored the natural world, overcame obstacles, and found joy in adventure, community, and rest. We left with new insights, friends, and inspiration for moving forward in our lives. Keep an eye out for more weekend retreats coming in the future!
I look forward to seeing you online at Saturday Morning Yoga this week to connect, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness.
