Welcoming Spring and Self: Entering a new season in joy
The Spring Equinox is the start of the astrological new year and a time that represents new beginnings and blooming. Entering this new season is the perfect time to invite joy into your fresh start and gratitude for all that you’ve held and journeyed through. Spring time is all about nature being reborn, life waking up at a gentle pace, and welcoming new growth. As a part of nature, this is happening within us too. What are you ready to see flourish in your life? How can you step into this cycle with the joyful welcoming you deserve?
In this space held and curated by The Easeful Place in collaboration with Founder and retreat host Asli from Decentralised Life, you're welcomed to spend a slow Sunday in reset mode.
We invite you to celebrate, create, release, embrace big visions, and be in loving community with us.

We will spend time with ourselves and each other dipping into gratitude and excitement in a friendly gathering. This is what you can expect:
Guided journal prompts
Writing letters to ourselves
Creating notes to self and affirmations for the year to come
Connecting with new friends and community
A space to ease into your fresh start the way you want
What you will leave with::
A fun afternoon spent aligning with the new year in good company
A new journal
A travel-sized jar of self-made notes, reminders, and affirmations
An introduction to mindfulness practices to carry you throughout the year

About ::
Hi, I’m Amara Amaryah. I am a poet-essayist, author, mindfulness advocate and founder of The Easeful Place. I care deeply about affirming personal and collective worthiness and holding safe space to restore ease. The Easeful Place is an extension of this, offering intentional space for intimacy, unlearning, and discovering soulful creativity. I write the Life Is In Love With Me newsletter, where I archive life’s love stories and learnings from around the world. My poetry has lived on international stages and in the pages of literary journals as well as in my debut pamphlet ‘The Opposite of an Exodus’ (Bad Betty Press, 2021).
The Easeful Place is a community and resource for mindful creativity. It’s where we share journal prompts, mindfulness resources and activities, online and in-person events, creative inspiration from around the world and space to slow down and reflect. Our gatherings are always warm, intimate and globally attended. Check out more of what we do here.
