As winter loosens its grip and we step into the vibrant embrace of spring, there’s a palpable shift both in nature and within ourselves. The world awakens from its slumber—buds unfurl, days stretch longer, and a fresh sense of renewal colors our everyday lives. This season of hope and lightness invites us to pause, breathe, and recognize the “glimtar”—those brief, radiant moments of joy and clarity that flicker through our days.
In meditation, spring becomes an opportunity to cherish these positive emotions without clinging to them, understanding their beautiful impermanence. Notice how your body responds to this lightness—the softer breath, the lighter heart. Each inhale is a renewal; each exhale, a gentle release. This mindful awareness mirrors the delicate balance of the season: appreciating growth without rushing it.

Joyful mindfulness in spring is like tuning into the subtle rhythms of nature’s awakening. It’s the quiet thrill of noticing the first bloom, the warmth of sunlight on your skin after months of cold, and the gentle optimism that stirs within. This sense of hope isn’t about forcing positivity but embracing the natural ebb and flow of emotions, trusting that even after the longest winter, light and growth return. By staying present with these experiences, we cultivate a grounded joy that carries us through the season and beyond.
As spring blossoms into summer, the mood shifts again. The world is in full bloom, and with it comes emotional expansiveness—joy, energy, and connection swirl around us. Summer’s warmth encourages openness, but it also asks for grounding. Meditation during this time focuses on staying present and centered, using the breath as an anchor amidst the season’s emotional abundance. Balance is key: embracing the vibrancy without being swept away by it.

It’s no wonder that this time of year is also wedding season. Just as nature celebrates life and connection, so do we. Weddings are a profound expression of love and commitment, and I am honored to support couples in this transformative moment. As an ordained wedding officiant, authorized to perform weddings and other congregational rites, I hold space with joy and reverence, guided by the tradition upheld by the late Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche.
Whether you’re celebrating a spring ceremony surrounded by blossoming flowers or a summer wedding under the golden sun, your love is at the heart of it all. You don’t need to be Buddhist to enjoy this ceremony—love is universal, and all couples wishing to make a sincere commitment are welcome.
Each wedding includes ritual preparations, two preparatory meetings, and the performance of the ceremony itself. Together, we create a meaningful experience that honors your unique journey and the shared path ahead. Read more about my wedding services here.
