Name: EDH Sunday Dance: Awaken
Start: 2026-03-01T10:30:00-06:00
Location: The Interchange

Emerging from the winter months of rest and reflection, we began to tiptoe into spring, a season of awakening.
Winter asked us to slow down, turn in, and rest. It can be dark both literal and metaphorical. A time for us to face shadows, face parts of ourselves that we sometimes push to the side during busier and brighter times.
Spring invites you to reawaken.
To move.
To bloom.
This is an invitation to ask yourself what are you ready to leave behind during this transition?
What parts of you are ready to reawaken?
With love,
Ashley ❤️
