Philip Carr-Gomm welcomes listeners to the Sacred Grove and reflects on the period between festivals on the wheel of the year, focusing on the shift from Alban Eiler (the Spring Equinox) toward Beltane. Philip describes the Spring Equinox as a time of hope and expectation, and Beltane as a time of engagement. He leads a guided meditation in a forest clearing, inviting listeners to relax, connect with the earth and a nearby tree, sense rising spring energy through the body, rest with the breath, and return refreshed to the present.

Spring Equinox Meditation in the Sacred Grove (A Short Restorative Practice) Phillip Carr-Gomm reflects on the strange and difficult times, and wishes everyone a happy equinox, an invitation to find balance amid upheaval. He explores equinox themes of balance, springtime hope and promise (and, in the opposite season, harvest and fulfilment), then guides a brief, effort-free meditation set in a sacred forest grove in the Druid tradition, connecting with the “light in the earth” (Alban Eilir), the grounding energy of soil and trees, and the fresh dawn sky as sunlight warms the heart.
