The Journey Continues: ThinkSpot and Lowville Festival Spring Equinox

Come join us at ThinkSpot in Lowville on Sunday March 19th - either for one event or spend the whole day in the beautiful oasis of Walt Rickli Sculpture Garden. While Lowville currently looks like a frozen tundra, we will be celebrating the Spring Equinox as a time of finding balance in life through the balance of light in the seasonal change.

There are three scheduled activities and the rest of the time will be open to all who wish to drop by for hot chocolate and s'mores around several warm fire spots. There will be crafts to create on our unique wooden table "You're a Piece of Work" (we mean that in a good way); along with receiving and sharing words of encouragement; and writing what you would like to 'release' and will be burned in the evening fire.

9am will be a guided 'walk in WONDER' through Lowville Park with Khy Hua.

1pm will be a guided hike though the River & Ruin section of the Bruce Trail in Lowville with Lowvillians Karen Moorse and Debra Pickfield (dependent on whether trail is complete mud or not)

6:30 pm to 8:00 pm will be Charissa and Katie, The Sandbox Sisters from Guelph, who will share their gifts in sound through musical instruments and voice (feel free to bring your own drums, shakers, rattles). They will explore 'Pruning and Renewal' as setting the stage for celebrating the upcoming season through our internal experience; through the nature/earth grounding perspective; and the energy from the planet transitions as we experience equal day and nights.

Katie and Charissa invite you to reflect on what you see as a barrier in your current life, as well they invite you to bring anything symbolic you would like to burn in the fire (please - no plastics or combustible chemicals or materials (ie. no batteries, or fluids etc. )
