About this Event
The Spring Equinox has represented the initiation of planting and growth for cultures across millennia.
The Spring Equinox symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and fertility. Although there is some debate about her origins, the German Goddess Ostara was responsible for reawakening the land, sparking creativity, and nourishing new life. Ostara breathed warmth into the wind, inspired the trees to bud, and convinced the snow to leave, as the earth underwent its cycle of rebirth.
The magical seasonal shift into Spring reminds us renewal comes again and again. Ostara reminds us it is the season to be creative and plant new ideas.
No matter what you have been through. No matter how harsh, or how cold things have been, nothing lasts forever. Just like the Earth goes through seasons, so do you.
When life has been cold to you, know that the warm Spring will come once again. Know that just like Mother Earth can rebirth, recreate, and renew herself, so too can you.
Event Details:
Please join us as we welcome the increase of sunshine, warmth, and green growth into our world this year.
