Meditation for February: Renewal & Awakening

Meditations on the Seasons

Across time and cultures, people have organized their lives around the rhythms of the seasons—using stories and rituals to guide their survival and make meaning of their lives. The cycle of the year is marked by eight key points: the solstices, the equinoxes, and the midpoints between them. This eightfold pattern reflects nature’s cycles of growth, change, death and renewal. In eventful times, this annual cycle offers a steady rhythm—an invitation to pause and reconnect with the world around us.


Imbolc / Candlemas / Brigid's Day

Early February marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox—a cocooning, liminal time of year that is intertwined with the earliest signs of spring and the reawakening of the earth. 


This is a wonderful time to refresh ourselves—our homes, minds, bodies and spirits—to reconnect with our intentions for the year, release what's ready to go, and prepare for the new growth that spring will bring. 


In our virtual time together, you'll enjoy:


  • A short talk on some energies and histories of this time
  • Guided meditations and reflections
  • Time to journal or share 


Optional: Feel free to bring a candle, something to represent growth or renewal, or anything that connects you to the season.


Cost: $25 (with a pay-what-you-can option). Payment info is available on the registration page.
