Ahhh...spring has come at last and
now we can can feel it in the air outdoors and note the heady scents of wet earth after rain or snow. The seeds
you plant now can nuture and fuel your dreams and desires. Allow your spring self to stretch slowly into the energies, allow
them to envelop you in their soft cool breezes. No one can make us rush around like our own selves. Remember to pace yourself
as the energies increase as the season moves towards summer. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaWith With the slow melt of winter snows we are shown how water is an important symbol this
time of year. You may not realize how much your body needs this time of year because you may not be consciously showing outwards
signs of dehydrations such as sweating or thirst. But your body has a hard time fluctuating between temps and our activities
of going in to warmth and outdoors again into cold keeps our systems running full tilt. Be sure to drink lots of water
to support these demands, to help cleanse and heal your body, reduce toxins, and ensure wellbeing. As you drink water
think of where it came from, how the snow and rains are filling our water sheds and blessings us with their gifts. Every drop
has a story as to where it started and where it came from and its journey to your sink or bottle. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Spring heralds the youth phase of the year and we honor this by holding ritual outdoors to witness
the cool wet weather and the joyful maiden who captures our hearts and reinvigorates our yearnings for more life,
more love, more freedom and more joy.
There is just something about spring! We have fun spring events to get you into the swing of spring. Check out the list to the right and find one that entertains
your inner-child.

Diversity Statement and Harm None Rule:
At each of our open celebrations we make a commitment to
honor the diversity of All Our Relations whereby any person who does NO HARM to others in circle is welcome. At each of the
open celebrations there is intention to create an atmosphere of acceptance of diversity by the circle facillitator. There
is no discrimination based on race, age, sex, sexual orientation, (e.g. whether gay, straight, or transgender), physical appearance,
religion, class, or physical or mental disabilities.
Tolerence is a life-long study for many of us, so our community
is always striving to learn new ways to grow in positive and balanced directions.
