Sacred Balance: A Spring Equinox Revival
A Day of Renewal, Empowerment & Connection
As the seasons shift and the earth awakens, we invite you to honor the balance within yourself and the world around you. Join us at The Light Center for a transformative day of sacred practices, community connection, and deep renewal. This retreat is designed to help you shed the heaviness of winter, embrace the energy of spring, and step into a more balanced, empowered way of being.
Through a blend of ancient rituals, mindful movement, and soul-nourishing practices, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, realigned, and deeply connected—to yourself, to others, and to the natural world.
What Awaits You
🌸 Land Awakening
Begin the day by honoring the land with drums, rattles, and your voices. This grounding practice will help you connect with the energy of the earth and set the tone for a day of renewal and transformation.
🌸 Planting Seeds of Intention
Circle up in the greenhouse and write your intentions on paper. Plant them in take-home containers or directly in the ground, symbolizing the growth and renewal of your dreams.
🌸 Gentle Qi Gong in the Hoop House
Awaken your energy and align with the sun’s radiant light in the warmth of the greenhouse. This beginner-friendly practice will help you restore balance and connect with the empowering energy of spring.
🌸 Mindful Nature Walk & Earth Mandala Creation
Embark on a meditative nature walk to connect with the land and gather natural materials. Then, co-create a beautiful earth mandala as a symbol of balance, harmony, and collective intention.
🌸 Nourishing Lunch & Free Time
Enjoy a wholesome meal and connect with fellow participants. Use this time to rest, reflect, or explore the land at your own pace.
🌸 Vibrational Sound Journey
Immerse yourself in the healing frequencies of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, ocean drum, rattles, and vocal toning. This meditative experience will soothe your soul, quiet your mind, and prepare you for the sweat lodge ceremony.
🌸 Sweat Lodge Purification Ceremony
Participate in a powerful sweat lodge ritual to cleanse and purify your body, mind, and spirit. This ancient practice will help you shed the weight of winter and emerge renewed, reborn, and revitalized.
🌸 Closing Circle & Water Blessing
Share reflections, set intentions for the season ahead, and close with a grounding water blessing at the creek. This practice will help you integrate the day’s experiences and leave feeling cleansed and renewed.
