Spring….a time for rebirth, renewal and regrowth….we see it in nature and we also see it in ourselves. It is a time when we want to move more, we feel our senses come alive to the sights, sounds and smells of the season. We feel lighter, rediscover ourselves and we too like the flowers about to bud, reconnect with the spirit within. We awaken from winter’s hibernation and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
The beauty is not just in the outside world, it is in our own selves as well. “All beings are flowers blossoming in a blossoming universe” Soen Nakagawa. It was fitting then, on one of the first sunny, warm days in NYC that ABC Home, known for helping discover a world of inspiration and beauty for the home, turned the focus into finding a day to find our home within; a day to rediscover and treasure your unique beauty, by incorporating the beauty, wellness and wisdom of the season.
The day started off in Deepak Homebase , which is magical in its own right. It sets up a serene, tranquil and accepting environment which would be the backdrop for a day of bliss, self love and connection; a day of engaging with our greatest eco-brands and their founders; a day to set your intention in learning from masters.
The day started with insightful talks on astrology, yoga, lifestyle medicine, food, creating a peaceful economy and getting in touch with your intuition. We learned from Spiritual Astrologer Demitra Vassiliadis that this spring the planets are lining up in order to get us to return to the deepest sense of value, what we love about ourselves and may have forgotten along the way. All of the topics discussed reinforced the importance of self love, acceptance and embracing your own uniqueness. To be united with the beauty we see.
The afternoon was a session for the senses. Flowering arranging with ABC Bloom, smudging with Incausa, aromatherapy with Palermo Body and Rahua. We discovered wonderful ways to reconnect with your body such as aline your spine Alexander technique and healing tonics and elixirs such as Bija Bhar turmeric lattes, Four Sigmatic’s mushroom coffee, Moon Juice’s beauty dust lattes, Olivia Clementine tea sampling, salad dressings by Organic Culinary Argan Oil by Victoria Akkari, digestive bitters by Urban Moonshine, water sampling by Water Talk, and Welly Bottle water infusions, beauty treatments such as Dr. Alkaitis reiki facials, Tracie Martyn hand and eye treatments, NUORI moisturizing masks, Rahua scalp massages, sampling of innovative products by Erbaviva, Indie Lee, Intelligent Nutrients, Kahina, Osea, tenoverten and UMA Oils helped stimulate the senses. And with hair styling by Yarok , the re discovering of ones inner beauty has begun!
Spring is the time of new beginnings…..
“The beautiful spring came; and when nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also” Harriet Ann Jacobs
