Spring Equinox

Everyone was invited to come along to celebrate the Spring Equinox, Mother’s Day and Mother Nature with foraging walks, nature walks, seed & springy activities.

There were foraging walks from Josh Quick from Wild St Ives and nature walks from Noah Hall, a keen naturalist & qualified conservationist. Lovely music provided by members of the Tinners band as well as Gavin, Annie & Sylvie Nicol and Rick Chappel. Kids enjoyed making clay creatures & much delicious cake was enjoyed. There was also a beautiful poem read out by Avatar Bliss who also held a meditational ceremony around a shine to Mother Gaia. After the event he installed his Mother Gaia in a secret location in the woods.

The event raised £131 towards the Community Composting Project, see more info on //www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/stivescommunitycompostingbike. Raising funds to purchase a community electric bike which will be used by a group of volunteers to collect food waste from restaurants around town to turn into compost here in our community orchard.

The Spring Equinox marks the beginning of Spring and marks the time when the hours of day and light are equal.
