The Power of the Spring Equinox
A Day of Balance, Renewal & Transformation
As the Earth tilts towards the sun, bringing equal hours of light and darkness, the Spring Equinox marks a moment of perfect balance—a pause before the days stretch longer, filled with warmth, energy, and growth.
For thousands of years, cultures across the world have honoured this day as a portal of renewal—a time to release the weight of winter and step into a new chapter with clarity and purpose. Ancient sites like Stonehenge and Mexico’s Chichén Itzá align with the sun’s equinox position, reflecting the deep reverence our ancestors had for this powerful turning point.
✨ The Power of the Equinox Energy
The days leading up to the equinox are a potent time for inner work. Just as the Earth shifts, so too do we. It’s a threshold moment—a time to pause, reflect, and prepare for the new energy that is about to unfold.
In the yogic and spiritual traditions, this is an auspicious time for meditation, intention-setting, and realignment. The energy is naturally primed for transformation, making it the perfect time to step back from the noise of daily life and connect with yourself.
A Day to Reset & Realign at Our Retreat
There is something deeply profound about honouring the equinox in community. When we gather—whether in meditation, movement, or shared stillness—our collective energy magnifies, supporting each of us to shift, release, and realign.
We’ve been hosting half-day retreats on the equinoxes and solstices with wonderful feedback, and now, we feel it’s time to expand into a full-day retreat. So, we invite you to join us in this powerful lead-up to the Spring Equinox for a Day Retreat—a sacred pause to prepare your mind, body, and spirit for the new season.

What to Do on the Equinox (Thursday, 20th March at 9:01 AM)
Whether or not you can join us for the retreat, the equinox itself is a powerful moment to pause, breathe, and set intentions. Here are a few ways to honour the energy of the day:
Go Inwards: Take a moment of stillness. Meditate, breathe deeply, and notice the shift in energy as winter fades and spring begins.
Journal & Reflect:
What has shifted in me since the Winter Solstice?
What have I learned in the last 3 months?
What am I ready to release to create space for expansion?
What do I want to nurture and grow in this new season?
Move with Intention: Yoga, stretching, or even a simple walk outdoors can help you connect with the rhythm of nature and embody the balance of the equinox.

The equinox reminds us that life is always shifting—just like nature, we move through cycles of rest, growth, and renewal. Rather than chasing perfect balance, we can learn to embrace the ebb and flow, trusting that light always returns and new possibilities are always unfolding.
However you choose to mark the day, may it bring you a sense of clarity, renewal, and connection.
With love,
Shadwell Studio
