Thursday 4/3: Summer
The earth emanates vitality on a dusky summer evening. Is your shadow self willing to allow you to feel this energy? What can the glowing fireflies illuminate tonight?

Settle into a crisp evening, preparing, harvesting, and savoring the enchantment of falling leaves. What are you still holding on to? What are you willing to release?
Thursday 4/17: Winter
Earth sleeps and dreams under the sparkling starlit snow. Will your shadow self accept this time of hibernation? What potential is lying dormant under your blanket of snow?
Thursday 4/24: Spring
