April: the month of new beginnings. During the winter, trees draw all of their resources into their roots, safe from freezing winds. Spring brings new life rising up through yesterday’s sturdy branches. Nature shows us continuous cycles of renewal and rebirth, and our April intention celebrates her divine, life-giving magic.

Spring: Rebirth and Renewal
|
|
Though we distance ourselves at times from nature’s rhythms, as humans we share her tendencies. Our journeys feel more like spirals of climbing wisdom and circling experiences than the straight lines we often imagine. This winding labyrinth of life is a series of growths and decays, mini deaths and thriving rebirths. We come back to the same lessons over and over again, only to realize that our learning has curves and we are forever evolving.
This is the eternal flow of life and death, of beginnings, closings and re-openings. Every time we release, we bring our energy inwards, regather, integrate, and then burst out in a spring of new life and rejuvenation. Today we celebrate the spring after the winter, honoring the old as we embrace the new.
Trust that what is dying within you shall be reborn.
Know that what is hurting will heal.
Feel that what is stuck will flow.
We will be rebirthed, over and over again as we spiral up into the truest version of ourselves.

In order to be reborn, we must first die in some way - a process that can be painful, but which will always create space for fresh growth. Right now, with the energy of the new moon, our world is in a stage of inward contemplation. Now is the perfect time to look inside and consider:
- In what area of my life am I being renewed?
- What intentions can I set for my own rebirth as winter shifts to spring?
