Spring Equinox

The Living Hearth is a gathering place where the old ways meet the present moment. Rooted in the turning of the Wheel of the Year, these seasonal circles invite us to remember the rhythms of the earth, share in the abundance of a communal table, and reflect on the deeper meaning of each season.Hosted with warmth and care, every Living Hearth gathering weaves together food, history, and fellowship. Around the fire, we explore the origins of ancient festivals, open space for personal reflection, and honor the season with simple rituals. Through shared meals, storytelling, and moments of quiet connection, the hearth becomes alive—an anchor of belonging, wisdom, and renewal.At its heart, The Living Hearth is about community. It is a place to gather, to listen, to share, and to carry forward the timeless truth that the hearth is not just a fire in the home, but a living flame within us all.

Wheel of The Year Festivals and Events

The Wheel of the Year Festivals honor the cycles of the earth and the seasons we experience. We invite all to join us in celebration of our privilege of being a part of this awe inspiring universe!

The Spring Equinox has represented the initiation of planting and growth for cultures across millennia. The Spring Equinox symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and fertility. Although there is some debate about her origins, the German Goddess Ostara was responsible for reawakening the land, sparking creativity, and nourishing new life. Ostara breathed warmth into the wind, inspired the trees to bud, and convinced the snow to leave, as the earth underwent its cycle of rebirth. The magical seasonal shift into Spring reminds us renewal comes again and again. Ostara reminds us it is the season to be creative and plant new ideas. No matter what you have been through. No matter how harsh, or how cold things have been, nothing lasts forever. Just like the Earth goes through seasons, so do you. When life has been cold to you, know that the warm Spring will come once again. Know that just like Mother Earth can rebirth, recreate, and renew herself, so too can you. Event Details:Please join us as we welcome the increase of sunshine, warmth, and green growth into our world this year. Location:We will be celebrating Ostara at Jillian's house and would be so grateful if you would bless us with your presence. What to bring:Please bring a dish to share and if you feel particularly creative, make it a traditional celtic or Spring specific dish. Ostara foods include eggs, honey, lemons, spring greens, oats, and baked goods. *Please respect the time and energy it takes to host these events.
