seed + sage

Hi Friends,

Maybe you’re already feeling the early tugs of spring—the equinox is just around the corner and the light is returning more and more each day. For many of us, this means waking up earlier with the light and feeling re-energized to take on the world. Noticing these subtle energetic shifts as the seasons change is one of the quiet joys of being human and using these cycles to our advantage can be powerful.

As the light comes back into balance, it’s the perfect time to set intentions for the rest of the year. The seeds that lay dormant in the soil through the winter are now getting ready to sprout and grow at different speeds—and the same is true with our intentions.

We’re looking forward to welcoming in spring’s expansive energy this year with a special event at HŌME Studio, more details below.

Spring Equinox Celebration: BURN to BLOOM, Friday, March 21, 6PM-8PM, HŌME Studio, Placerville: Embrace heat, strong movement, and challenge as we burn away the old and the excess, leaving our purest essence to find clarity. We’ll get hot, sweaty, and a little spicy before slowing all the way down to plant our seeds of intention to bloom throughout the remainder of the year. Bring a journal and be prepared to meditate—this is a true yin + yang offering. We’ll end with community time for tea and GF goodies. Spring is the real new year for nature—let’s celebrate! $20 sign-up online.

Parents Night Out—Kids Mindfulness Evening, Friday, April 11, 5:30-7:30PM, HŌME Studio Placerville: Drop kids off for yoga, mindfulness circle games, and more! Enjoy dinner or other time away while kids get their own social and self-care night. Best of all, pick them up all ready for bed after their savasana with lavender foot rubs! Both Carlie and Olivia are homeschool moms with experience working with children—Carlie has taught kids yoga and Olivia has been a credentialed K-8 teacher since 2011. And, their kids will be present as “ambassadors” for this fun mindfulness evening. Please send a lunchbox dinner. Additional allergen-friendly snacks will be provided. Ages 6+. Jammies encouraged! We can’t wait! $38/child, sign-up online.

Preparing for Spring’s Energy Zoom Meditation, Thursday, March 6, 7:30-8PM: While we culturally think of the new year as January 1, nature’s new year begins with the spring equinox when the light comes back into balance. It’s the perfect time to tap into Dispenza-inspired techniques to bring your dreams for the future to life. We’ll begin with a brief dive into the quantum physics around creating our realities and then meditate for 15-20 min. All are welcome, reach out for Zoom link. This is a free community offering.

Where else to find Carlie & Olivia this month?

Carlie would love to invite you to join her for her Sunday morning vinyasa class at HOME Studio. The class is described as, “soft & sweet. We take our flow a bit slower, spending time listening, decompressing & setting new intentions for the week ahead. Come experience the magical embodiment that comes from linking the song of your breath to your movement.”

And, Olivia would love for you to hop onto Insight Timer to check out her newly published meditations for both kids and adults (and, spoiler, she’s been told the kid meditations are great for putting adults to sleep, too!). Your reviews/comments help her gain traction and the app is free (just x out of the subscription prompt when you first open).

That’s it for this month—we can feel spring in the air as we get amped up for everything we’re bringing your way!

Olivia & Carlie
