Celebrate Ostara, the Spring Equinox with a deeply restorative gong sound bath at Dirleton Kirk Hall on Thursday 20 March 2025 19:00-20:30 ❤️ By recognizing and celebrating the little shifts in Earth’s natural rhythms, we can become more attuned to nature and feel more grounded in our everyday lives. The spring equinox, Ostara, is celebrated as a time of renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings. Ostara occurs halfway between the winter and summer solstice. It marks the moment when day and night are equal in length, and the sun crosses the celestial equator, moving northward, signaling the arrival of spring. Gong sound baths are highly rejuvenating for the body, mind & soul and bring about an overall sense of relaxation, which can reduce anxiety, help develop a better ability to cope with stress, shift / release emotional blockages from trauma, and even stimulate altered states of consciousness for rest, relaxation and healing. We will combine some gentle movement and breathwork, followed by a deeply meditative gong sound bath. Energy exchange: £17. In these challenging economic times, there is also 2 discounted community places if you are experiencing financial hardship and still want to come along, email for more details. Wear loose comfy clothing and bring your own yoga mat, blocks/ cushion, blanket and water. It is important that you are comfortable so feel free to bring any extra blankets or layers for your yoga mat to ensure you are super comfy.
