If you're the kinda gal that gets excited as the days slowly start to become longer, the temperature starts to get warmer and the first buds of the year start to bloom, then join me in celebrating the magic of the Spring Equinox this March, at Spring Awakening, a day guaranteed to set you up for the lighter, brighter days to come. If your idea of a wholesome Sunday involves group walks, spring lanterns, yoga, meditation & endless cups of tea and spring snacks, then you may not want to miss this one!

We will meet at The Lean In Studio at Cronkshaw Fold Farm in Lancashire at 8.30am where we will begin our day with some gentle movement after a long winter. We’ll be guided by the wonderful Naomi, an outdoor lover & qualified yoga instructor, who will take us through a soft, gentle, spring awakening flow suitable for all, which will be the perfect way to rejuvenate our minds and bodies from winter’s slumber, ready for the brighter spring days to come. As the yoga session draws to a close, Naomi will also guide us through a spring meditation where seeds will be sowed, intentions will be set, and we will invite the light and energy of the new season into our lives, to help us grow and blossom during the lighter months of the year.

After a relaxing start to the day, pour yourself a hot drink, grab a spring snack and make yourself comfy for our morning’s creative workshop. Spring is a time for new beginnings, as the natural world slowly starts to wake up and bloom, therefore what could be more fitting than a morning spent creating spring lanterns. I will teach you the tips & tricks to create the perfect spring decoration for your home, using objects that can be found in your home. You will connect with other like-minded women as you spend the next hour or so getting creative in our rustic indoor venue, looking out onto views of the surrounding countryside for inspiration.

Once your lanterns are complete, it’s time to put our layers and sturdy boots on as we leave the cosiness of the Lean In Studio and head out on a group walk through the surrounding countryside towards Holcombe Hill and the iconic Peel Tower, a monument that can be seen from miles around. We will stop to take in the views over Manchester and North Wales, before we continue our walk through the surrounding pennine hills. We will embrace the spring elements before heading back to to Cronkshaw Fold Farm, where you will head home ready to embrace the magic of a new season, as we welcome the season of new beginnings, spring.
