Take a tour of your spiritual basement...
It’s an excavation, an unearthing, and a time to decompress and dig deep into the spaces within.
Join us for a day of self-reflection filled with meditation; journaling prompts, recipes, inspirational reads and an evening of yoga and community.
You’re invited to a Fall Equinox Retreat
Tuesday, September 21st, 2021
The fall equinox is Clara’s favourite time of year. September 22nd is the halfway point between the summer and winter solstice.
In the Northern hemisphere, the plants are preparing for hibernation. They are shedding leaves and all things that are taking up unnecessary resources.
Drawing inspiration from nature, this is a wonderful time to take stock of what you have, who you are, and shed any and all things taking up unnecessary energy.
As we move into the darkness of winter, we begin to go inside; we get more self-reflective.
Clara calls this time of year when we take the stairs down into our spiritual basements and tinker with the unseen.
Shed your unnecessary baggage and sweep the dusty corners.
The leaves are changing from green to gold as the cold kisses the earth. You’re witnessing the release of nature as she sheds her layers and welcomes the space and sombre colours that signify the cooler months. You directly reflect the world around you; your inner world seeks the quiet and solitude of the wonders you witness outdoors. Embrace it.
