Spring Equinox Rituals to Welcome Kapha Season
Today, as the Northern Hemisphere gradually tilts back towards the sun, we are blessed with the Spring Equinox—a rare time of year when the entire Earth experiences equal lengths of day & night.
This time of the land's rebirth nudges us to get outside, commune with loved ones and celebrate the long-awaited return of light.
Join us as we honor this celestial event & embrace the blossoming of the season with some of these activating rituals:
