It’s time to awaken from winter’s slumber!
As the Earth stirs from winter’s stillness, nature bursts into life with fresh blooms, longer days, and vibrant energy. Engaging in seasonal rituals, whether through cleansing practices, planting intentions, or embracing the outdoors, helps us shed the heaviness of winter and step into a state of renewal, joy, and harmony. By attuning to spring’s rhythm, we cultivate a sense of balance and vitality, mirroring the natural world’s cycle of rebirth and possibility.
Spring Cleaning for Body and Home
Lighten your load! Infuse your water with fresh lemon, mint, or prepare a tea containing dandelion roots to support detoxification.
Open your windows, smoke cleanse your space with rosemary or lavender, and let the fresh energy flow.
Plant a Seed (Literally or Metaphorically)
Choose a small object to represent your intention—this could be an actual seed, a crystal, or a handwritten note with your dream or goal. Find a quiet space in nature or create a sacred spot at home. Hold the object in your hands, close your eyes, and visualize your intention as a tiny seed full of potential. Speak your desire out loud or silently in your heart, then plant the object in the earth (or a small bowl of soil). Water it with gratitude and trust that your intention will grow with patience, care, and alignment with nature’s rhythms.
Morning Dew Ritual
The tradition of collecting and applying morning dew to the face is an old folk practice rooted in Celtic and European customs. It was believed that the dew gathered on the morning of May 1st (Beltane) in particular had powerful properties for beauty, youth, and vitality. Women would wash their faces with the fresh dew to promote a radiant complexion and attract love and good fortune.
What are you most excited about this coming spring season?!
I’m experimenting with so many new things this year! An entirely new medicinal herb garden down by our lil cabin, new flower and veggie varieties, and even some peach trees from Peaceful Heritage Nursery that I’m so excited about!
