back and forth conversations and collaborations through the years
It's March 20 and the equinox is here! We call to our own awakening as Nature wakes from her winter sleep and sloughs off her mantle for yet another seasonal change.
In the Northern Hemisphere, this day signals the long-awaited end of winter. While in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the arrival of autumn.
What exactly is an equinox? How is it connected with the seasons? How ae we all affected?
Lent 2025 begins on Wednesday March 5 and lasts until April 17. Lent comes from the old English, lencten, which means spring.

How we do anything is how we do everything. In the flow and cycle of life - all is interconnected. Give and take, ebb and flow, high and low. An infinite loop of reciprocal exchange.

Utilize this time to transform the limiting beliefs that eclipse our ability to grow and thrive. Use our power consciously and intentionally to take the lead and be courageous in pursuing what sets our souls on fire.
Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman released a new episode on the Shamans Cave, Keeping Pace with the Seasons - how we can align our energetic phases with nature to be in natures’ flow instead of living against its flow. Perfect timing as we're winding down for 2022 and looking forward to 2023.
Humans and nature were meant to live in harmony - together and linked, not separate. If we follow our true identity as a nature being then attention to the changing phases and cycles of nature keeps us better in sync.
