Event Details

Spring Soirée: Celebrating Spring Equinox & Nature’s Emergence with the Way of the Buzzard

Sunday 29th March, 2026, 2pm-4pm

The Spring Equinox is the point of balance, where the sun rises and sets exactly twelve hours apart. From this time onwards, the pace of nature’s emergence ramps up. As winter gives way to spring, the earth awakens, and the signs of new growth are well underway.

Join us to celebrate the Spring Equinox, led by Nicola & Jason from The Way of the Buzzard. This is a time to reconnect with nature’s rhythms and immerse in the spring energies of emergence and growth. Together we’ll reflect on what we want to achieve in the coming months and set our intentions, along with drumming and singing in community.

  • Immerse in the Spring Equinox energies of renewal and rebirth
  • Connect with nature’s rhythms, and align with the natural world’s emergence
  • Tap into an ancient way of being with like-minded people to tune into your spiritual guidance

Who should attend?

This celebration is perfect if you:

  • Are looking to align yourself more with the natural cycles of nature
  • Would like to deepen your experience working with the shamanic and nature connection toolkit
  • Are an ‘old hand’ at all of this but would like to celebrate the Spring Equinox with likeminded folk
  • Are a first-timer and keen to give it a go

About your hosts

We, Jason and Nicola Smalley, are edge dwellers and Shamanic Practitioners living in the Silverdale AONB in the northwest of England.

For the past twenty years, we have been individually seeking a spiritual connection that is aligned with our core beliefs and values. This search led us to discover shamanism, and ultimately to each other. The Way of the Buzzard became our voice in the World.

We have taught thousands of people the power of the shamanic toolkit and nature connection. We support others on their healing journey to find their purpose and their path through our online membership community ‘The Mystery School’, online courses, retreats, monthly shamanic journey circles, nature connection films and sacred tools.

When we aren’t working, we can both be found roaming the local crags, coast, woodlands and meadows in our locale.

Our passion is anything connected to nature and the mysteries of the Earth.”
