Sunday, March 17th 1pm - 4pm Redwood Glen Trailhead - Oakland, CA $40 ($5 off for those who came to fall equinox) The Spring Equinox marks the first day of spring, it marks the beginning of the astrological year. It is a time for planting seeds and intentions. It is a time of blossoming, of renewal.

The Wheel of the Year. Time, not linear but circular. Round and round we go, and have always gone. Since the beginning of time, humans, of every faith and culture, have found time best tracked in circles. Humans have created stone circles aligned with the seasons for at least 200,000 years. Everything in life falls comfortably somewhere upon the spokes of the wheel of time. The times of day, the seasons, the astrological calendar, the trees and symbols of the Ogham, Alchemy, Festivals, ages of human life, the colors, musical notes, emotions, tides.

What does grief, fear or despair ask of you?   Emotions like grief, fear and despair are as much a part of the human condition as love, awe and joy. They are our natural and inevitable responses to existence. These emotions have value and purpose but we must be willing to experience them to understand their message.   Grief, fear and despair show up in many forms and for many reasons.
