The Vernal Equinox

Hi there friends, In today’s episode, I’m exploring the themes of the Spring Equinox—also known as the Vernal Equinox, or Ostara. This is a time of balance, renewal, and quiet emergence, as the light begins to return and the natural world awakens. We’ll move through the deeper meaning of this seasonal turning point, touch on its history and ancient connections, and reflect on the symbols and celebrations that have marked this time across cultures. Whether you’re noticing the first signs of spring where you are, or simply feeling a shift internally, I hope this episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Chapters: 0:00 – General themes 6:51 – History of the equinoxes + prehistoric monuments aligned to the equinox 12:40 – Eostre + the origins of Easter 15:05 – Symbols of the season 17:45 – Other spring festivals and celebrations 21:27 – Closing If you’d like to explore these themes more deeply, you can learn more about my Seasonal Grounding workshops here:www.samantha-sheppard.com/grounding [http://www.samantha-sheppard.com/grounding] Get full access to The Headwaters at samsheppard.substack.com/subscribe [https://samsheppard.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

The Autumn Equinox

Hello dear friends, I am very excited to share with you my first podcast episode. I have been contemplating beginning this journey into a new medium for a while now, excited to talk to you more directly. I’m thinking of these as little voice notes, from me out to you. (Bare with my microphone - this is coming to you truly as a little voice note to your inbox, with a little background buzzing and all) I’m sure this podcast will morph and change just as I do, but for now, my hope is to find a space of gentle, yet deep, conversation, reflection, and vulnerability, as I share my own thoughts and inner journey. For today’s first episode, I am talking all about the Autumn Equinox, this moment within the cycles of the season, and this time of harvest. I hope you enjoy. If you are feeling like you’d like to reflect more deeply through journaling, breathwork, and ritual, I’m holding my Autumn Equinox workshop this Saturday to do just that: Mabon Grounding: A Seasonal Journey Saturday, September 20th 9–11 AM MT on Zoom Recorded if you can’t attend live Sign up here: https://www.samantha-sheppard.com/grounding [https://www.samantha-sheppard.com/grounding] Your first workshop is $5 with code “letsbegin” Get full access to The Headwaters at samsheppard.substack.com/subscribe [https://samsheppard.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
