The Spring Equinox gathering was a ritual journey through the metamorphosis wheel, exploring the shift from winter’s stillness into the awakening of spring. We moved through a guided meditation on thawing frozen layers in the nervous system and reconnecting with the regenerative cycle of healing, growth, and becoming. Through inspiration via imagery and story, then entering brain states to invoke intuitive pathways to awaken, participants were invited to identify their “soul seed” for the coming year—the devotion or life impulse wanting to emerge. We then opened ritual space on the altar, naming and blessing each of our seeds (new or evolved) and planting them in the "soil" of dried flowers from last year, in a new and larger vessel, representing the growing container of the Sanctuary space of soul initiation, then anointing each of them with a drop of flower water to bathe them in sweetness and hydration their journey through this year of the fire horse. The ritual closed with reflections on alchemy, nervous system safety, and the seasonal wheel as a map for personal and collective evolution, with an invitation to continue nurturing these seeds together through the ongoing weekly gatherings in the Body & Soul Sanctuary. Thank you to those who attended, and those who attend via replay later, for showing up in sacred space in a community dedicated to soul devotion. If you are curious to receive a session in which I attune to you and track along with you and your deeper nervous system intelligence what your body & soul is needing next to support and scaffold your next cycle of becoming, I invite you to explore this classroom in the Village, where you can also book a METAMORPHOSIS BLUEPRINT SESSION 1-1 with me: https://www.skool.com/body-soul-village-3993/classroom/b4d3d710?md=b4c2adf31b57445cba03f8e81636854e Note: This is not a sales call; it's an opportunity for us both to feel into what your nervous system is really needing next, and at the end of the call I can let you know if I feel the Sanctuary can help you meet that goal and what it might look like, with the opportunity to discuss enrollment after that.

Elizabeth, just read you FB post where you mentioned befriending death. I had a chance to do that at one point also. Whats coming up for me now is that we're entering Scorpio season a bit early this year, usually its on the 21st of the month but for some reason, and I think it about all the 'new' that is coming in now, it feels like its time to revisit Death. The word for Scorpio and Pluto in an astrological sense is Transformation. Break that down into Death and Rebirth. It would seem that in this world of duality in order for something new to come into our lives (rebirth) something old needs to be let go of! The short version of this is that in a Death and Rebirth cycle the process of Death comes first! This asks us to befriend Death and allow part of ourselves to pass away. Yes it's scary at first but it gets easier each time we go through the transformational process!
