Tomorrow will be the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries. Just like the transition from winter to spring, this New Moon asks us to let go of stagnancy and dormancy, and call in new life with all its potential for rebirth, growth, and transformation.

We invite you to take some time for rituals to clear away what no longer serves you, and cultivate an intention for the new season. Take time for yourself, make space and shift your focus inward to hear what it is that you need. This is your opportunity to connect with your feelings and intuition, and to rest deeply. From this silence within, you will know how to move forward in your life with renewed energy.

The Spring Equinox is a solar festival celebrating the time when the day and night are of equal length. It is not known whether there was a name for this festival within Celtic culture but it is believed to be related to the northern goddess Ēostre or Ostara which, in turn, inspired the Christian festival of Easter.

Available March 21-April 30

This healing session will focus on finding balance in your body. Upper and lower body as well as right and left sides of the body can be balanced and harmonized. The pelvic bones provide a place of union and we will begin here as we create more ease and flow.

Ostara is the celebration of the spring equinox, and is a time to prepare for the beginnings of new life each year. The hours of day and night are equal, and light is overtaking darkness. Also known as Alban Eilir (the Light of the Earth). It certainly feels like we need the hope and light of springtime to help us move out of the cold winter!

If you have been feeling stagnant and stuck then this could be the perfect time to sign up for a new season of classes, a workshop or an upcoming retreat (we have a few to choose from this season). We cannot underestimate the value of getting and staying healthy in these trying times. Our Physical bodies need nourishment and movement and our more subtle bodies also need to be cared for, awoken and refreshed.

New offerings this Ostara season (March 21-April 30):

- March 21-23: Yoga Retreat with Ailsa and Declan (there's still a few spots available: https://www.ailsakeppie.com/march2025yoga)

- Beginning March 24th: Online writing module with Ailsa “Inner Dialogue for Outer Awareness”

- March 29th-30th: Steiner weekend with the NS Anthroposophical Society

- April 15th: Qigong workshop with Declan

- Beginning April 5th: Sacred Somatics Practitioner Training with Ailsa

Stay tuned for our regular class schedule!
We look forward to seeing you this term.

This Full Moon and lunar eclipse last night may bring on collective transformation and personal growth.

Set an intention for what is to come next in your life as we are approaching spring with all its growth and blossoming.

What are you grateful for right now?
What do you need to let go of to make space for new growth?

Owning our bodies is one of the most controversial and radical things we can do as a woman. So much of our history has included someone else deciding our fate, be it our father, our husband or even our job that it becomes extremely difficult to overcome these deep-rooted beliefs. And yet, without this autonomy, we are not in control of our own pleasure.
I have a special offer on my "Rediscovering Course for Women" online course if you want to honour yourself this week!
