Welcome | Summer

Dear Wild Ones,

As winter becomes spring, we emerge from the depths of the watery well of regeneration into the refreshing and expansive energetics of the Air and Wood elements. The Sanctuary becomes a space to explore renewal, moving first from clearing wintry stagnation to vibrancy, activation, and the upward and growth that encompasses the nature of this season.

Together we’ll delve into the waxing time of year, discovering the magic that lies within the rebirth of spring.

This is also a time to engage the senses more fully, taking in texture, scent, taste, temperature, sound, and movement more explicitly in order to awaken hidden stores of vitality and aliveness.

Remember that spark within the dark that you uncovered in the depths of winter?

In spring, that spark ignites your inner reserves and swells as we move toward peak yang: summer. The key to sustaining spring’s growth without burning out before the height of summer is to embody the build-up—savor the slow burn, sink into anticipation, and let it hum beneath your skin, mirroring the thrum of Nature as it unfurls.

But what does that mean? We’ll explore this together in our practices and content here in the Spring Portal.

“TCM encourages us to understand the seasons as a continuum of shifting energy, and ourselves as a living part of these seasonal experiences.”
— Estuary Herbs

Weaving together western Earth-Centered Practices as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine, throughout the spring both the elements of Air and Wood will be our guides in understanding the energetics of Nature and how they’re mirrored in our own bodies. We will dive into the overlap between these elements and how they represent universal animist archetypes within the rooted rhythms of the Earth and of ourselves as living beings.

The intention is not to memorize information, but to come to deeply know and experience in our bodies the way these energies inspire, nurture, and ground us in the present.

We’ll officially begin on the Spring Equinox, welcoming longer, warmer days, and gathering as a group to open the Spring Circle of the Sanctuary on Sunday, 3/23. From then on, each month through the spring we’ll gather for a short practice and to connect about the energetics alive for each of us.
