A simple idea - enjoy the fresh air as it flows into the house - the window being the point of entering or beginning. Fresh air, smell of spring or letting in the pollen and encouraging allergies? There are pros and cons to every action.
A Trip to the Seaside or a Lake
There seemed to be plenty of black stones along the shoreline and we made good use of them, throwing them in to the water, with each throw, shouting what we wanted to let go of,
- fear, negativity, corruption, queues on the M50, direct provision centers, bad body image, viruses, etc etc,!
and as John said, the waves were crashing in uncovering the stones, but cleansing them too.
We then wrote words on the boats,
- hope, love, peace, bliss,
and set them off to be carried away with the turning tide.
We said "good bye" to the dark and "hello" to the light.

Picnic
Some folk sat down, gaining welcome shelter from a nearby rock and others stood as it was that kind of occasion, a kind of “go with the flow, do what you’re comfortable doing and let’s see what happens” vibe.
2022 - Tipping the Balance - Loughcrew
Our
centrepiece was simple:
daffodils to symbolise Spring,
a trowel for
planting sunflower seeds,
our Tara Celebrations goddess made by our friends
from Switzerland and a rock symbolising the land.
Wear bright coloured clothes, bring flowers, bring some food for a picnic afterwards, and...
... tip the Balance!
Life is all about movement and flow. A see saw is no fun unless it moves. Go with the flow. Grow with the flow.

| Flowers in ceremony
Used in a centre, as a focus for meditation, as a symbol.... there are many ways to incorporate flowers into a celebration. Daffodils are abundant now. | Breathing exercises
Wood: Feet close together, scooping breath, as if taking water from a well, gather energy, scoop up with palms facing up, breath out with palms facing down. |
