The Spring Equinox marks the balance between light and dark, a portal between winter’s reflection and spring’s blooming. This threshold also marks the beginning of the astrological year and nature’s natural rhythm as we shift from Pisces to Aries season. From end to beginning.

Join Vanja of Astrobloom and Jeff of breathARMY for a beautiful evening of connection, cacao, astrology, breath and conscious movement.

There is a strong sense of “rooted rising” within the energies present at the Equinox. A collective movement where intuition & community wisdom (the yin) are coming back into balance with action & leadership (the yang).

Together we are remembering that real power and spring’s blooming grow from deep, interconnected roots. Like the first shoots of spring pushing through the soil, what emerges now rises because of what came before. We are creating the foundation of the world we want to see through what we create in our lives.

Astrologically this is amplified by:

Aries season beginning: the zodiac’s spark of initiation & courage
Mars (Aries ruler) still in Pisces: action guided by intuition, compassion & the heart
Mars trine Jupiter in Cancer: expansion through emotional intelligence, nurturing & community
The Sun illuminating Saturn + Neptune’s recent meeting at the incarnation point (0 degrees Aries): dreams & visions beginning to bloom into tangible form

So the feeling is:

• Peace & blooming after a long winter
• Love rising over fear in uncertain & divisive times
• Community as medicine
• Intuition & embodiment guiding action
• Planting the seeds of the world we want to create

Later in Aries season, Mars enters Aries & momentum builds… but right now we are in the moment of intentional rising.

Through cacao, breath, movement, ritual, and embodiment we will create space to ground, connect, and listen to what is ready to bloom within us and between us.

But the truth isn’t always easy to find… and it often asks us to burn down everything that’s not aligned.

Her path took her through deep initiations — leaving a marriage, a life, a home & a community she loved. She’s walked through grief, the ache of letting go & the wild unknown of beginning again. Each time, returning closer to her body, truth & the cosmic blueprint that’s always been guiding her.

Her work bridges the spiritual, emotional & physical. Through 1:1 sessions, courses & movement classes, Vanja holds space for people moving through big transitions— heartbreak, awakening, identity shifts, soul callings.

Because she’s lived the death & the rebirth, Vanja knows what it’s like to lose everything that isn’t true in order to become everything you are.
