About this Event

Spring Equinox Gratitude Weekend

Join us in honoring the Spring Equinox, a time of balance, renewal, and new beginnings. As day and night meet in harmony, we’re invited to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the season ahead. Through shared experiences rooted in creativity, reflection, and connection with nature, we’ll gather in gratitude and welcome spring with presence, openness, and appreciation for what is unfolding.
