After the darkness of Winter, with the long nights, short days, rest and stillness, the seasonal shift as we move closer to Spring is like a breath of fresh air. It can be a little disjointing sometimes- I’ll admit that. To move from the inner landscape of Winter where we focus on nourishing ourselves, reflecting …
