Equilibrium: A 5Rhythms® Equinox Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton 

This spacious season of darkness, of lengthening days and growing light cradles us in an essential restorative energy, a contemplative space of consciousness and presence. The coming season of spring brings an equilibrium between day and night, and time for stirring, germination and awakening for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Sap rises, heart rates quicken out of hibernation, birds return from warmer climates, filling the empty skies. Buds swell and shoots break the surface of the forest floor as the ground begins to thaw. We venture out of the warmth inside our homes, back into the outdoors, with practices that renew and refresh.

As we approach the vernal equinox, I invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in its endarkened and enlightened expression. This daylong journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the refreshing, creative, and exhilarating energy of renewal that spring can offer.

Radiance of Being: A 5Rhythms® Solstice Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton 

This boisterous season of emerging, of flowering and regeneration invites us into a raucous and wild energy of rebirth, a teeming space of beginnings and awakenings. The coming season of summer brings the full blaze of the sun’s heat, and time for connection, celebration and remembering the abundance of our brilliant source of energy. Plants fruit and ripen, the outdoors thrums with activity, the insect world fills the world with the rhythms of life’s endurance. The temperature rises and the nights grow short, inviting us to take rest on cool beaches and immerse ourselves in watery depths of release. We gather around the night fires and BBQs, with practices that celebrate and connect us to the vibrancy of community.

Equilibrium: A 5Rhythms® Equinox Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton 

This soothing season of release and bounty, of shorter days and cooling winds, delights us in an exuberant display of color and abundance, a reflective space of gratitude and luciferous change. The coming season of autumn brings a shift into decidedly cooler and longer nights; a time for harvesting, fruition, and transition for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Leaves brighten, crisp and fall. Melancholy musings turn our focus inward as the space between the possibilities of Summer and emptiness of Winter arrives. Birds begin to fly to warmer climates, opening the soundscapes of our mornings and evenings into a growing silence. Fruit and leaves begin to litter the forest floor as their bodies nourish whatever grows next. Some of us venture out into the wilds while the temperate weather persists, gathering around fires, with practices that acknowledge and give thanks. Some return to learning and the halls and chambers of curiosity, reconfiguring families and offering new opportunities to the next generations.

As we approach the autumnal equinox, I invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in its endarkened and enlightened expression. This journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the reflective, soothing, and generous energy of harvest that autumn can offer.

LUMINOUS ABSENCE

A 5Rhythms® Day of Exploration With Jeffrey Boynton

This autumnal season of darkness, of lengthening nights and diminishing light holds us in an essential energy, an intuitive space of regeneration and inner growth. The coming season of winter brings with it the return of the light, and a long period of rest for many forms of life in this hemisphere. Sap slows, heart rates drop into hibernation, birds absent themselves to warmer climates, emptying the skies. Crisp leaves rest on the forest floor as the ground grows cold. We bring the warmth inside our homes, into our hearth, with practices that soothe and comfort.

As we approach the winter solstice, I invite you to dance the polarities of the 5Rhythms as we explore each rhythm in its endarkened and enlightened expression. This daylong journey of movement, connection, ritual, and integration is offered as a waypoint on your path to the regenerative, restful, and deeply nourishing energy that winter can offer.
