Happy Equinox all!

Read about Equinox, Persephone, Eleusinian Mysteries, and how to do a powerful Tree Pose..

It’s the perfect time to create your own ritual.

Remember to make room for and feel your feelings. Look back on all you have accomplished over the summer. Light a candle, use your favorite essential oils, pop on some autumnal music to suit your mood. Eat some delicious pomegranate truffles while you take a bath or make a photo album of your summer memories.
