Dear Friend,
As we step into April, the air hums with renewed energy. Spring unfolds its bright hands, inviting us to shake off the quiet stillness of winter and step into movement, possibility, and fresh beginnings. This month, we’re called to awaken—to harness the momentum of change while staying grounded in intention.
In the spirit of this awakening, I’m sharing reflections, practices, and upcoming gatherings to support you in moving with clarity and purpose.
The Rarr: Wild Energy, Pure Potential
This month’s oracle card, The Rarr from Brian Froud’s Faery Oracle, carries the essence of untamed energy—like the revving of an engine, the boundless bounce of excitement, the rush of a new idea taking shape. It reminds us that energy is neutral; it’s what we do with it that matters.
“A Rarr in your cards encourages you to be especially attentive to what you are doing with your energy and intentions. Do not get carried away by the Rarr’s bouncy enthusiasm, but do take advantage of the energy. You can accomplish a great deal with the energy being made available to you.”
How is energy moving through you this month? Where does it want to flow?
Spring Clearing: Decluttering Mind & Space
With the arrival of spring, we often feel the urge to clear space—not just in our homes, but in our inner worlds as well. This is an invitation to gently declutter the mental and emotional noise that keeps us from clarity.
A few ways to invite spaciousness:
Journaling Freely – Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and let your thoughts spill onto the page. No structure, no editing, just release.
Digital Detox – Unsubscribe from emails that drain rather than inspire. Be more intention with your digital interactions by setting boundaries for using your device. Embrace offline activities. Reclaim your energy for what truly matters!
Simplify Your Surroundings – Choose one small space to refresh—a shelf, a corner of your room, a desk.
Clearing even a little can create space for something new to take root.
April’s Practices for Grounded Awakening
As we work with both movement and clarity, here are some practices to support this dance:
🌿 Creative Alchemy – Engage in a form of creative expression that speaks to your soul—be it painting, writing, or crafting. Allow your emotions to flow freely onto the canvas or page, trusting the process of creation. This practice invites healing and self-discovery, encouraging you to explore the depths of your inner world without judgment.
💧 Cleansing Waters Ritual – Honor the transition of the season with a cleansing ritual that incorporates water. Fill a bowl with water, add herbs or flowers that resonate with your intentions, and immerse your hands in the mixture. As you do, visualize releasing what no longer serves you and inviting in fresh energy.
🌳 Nature Immersion – Take time to immerse yourself in nature, whether through a quiet walk in the woods or simply sitting in a garden. Allow the sights and sounds of the natural world to ground you. As you observe the awakening of spring, reflect on your own growth and the intentions you wish to nurture in the coming month.
🌀 Embodied Movement Flow – Invite the energy of April into your body through a practice of embodied movement. Whether through dance, yoga, or free-form movement, allow your body to express what words cannot. Set an intention for your movement—perhaps to release, to invite, or to explore. As you flow, pay attention to how your body feels and the emotions that arise. This practice not only connects you to your physical self but also serves as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Let your body guide you in this dance of renewal and awakening.

Wishing you a month of awakened clarity and intentional movement.
May you dance with the energy of possibility, and may it lead you exactly where you need to be.
With warmth,
Fayenen
