When was the last time you created the space for gazing up and letting your mind wander into the spaciousness of the night sky? For thousands of years, human beings have engaged in a contemplative relationship with the darkness of night and the night sky and this exploration has evoked countless insights, reflections, and inspirations. Join certified Forest-Bathing guide Marianne Rowe and astronomer Stephan Martin for a unique experience of being with the night as we contemplate where we are in the cosmos and in the calendar, balanced on the Spring Equinox. In an audio-only Zoom call, connected in this unique virtual stargazing community, Steve will guide us to some of the hidden wonders of the night sky. Marianne will offer contemplation and sharing prompts to help deepen our experience of the wonder, mystery, and beauty of the universe and the night
