Spring Equinox Digital Vision Board Workshop
Live Webinar March 15, 2026 @ 10 AM PT
Spring Equinox marks a seasonal threshold, a moment of balance between light and dark, rest and movement. Across many Indigenous and land-based traditions, this time signals renewal and orientation rather than resolution. Spring is not a sudden beginning, but a response to winter, to months of rest, decomposition, and quiet transformation beneath the surface.
Winter is when the ground composts. When what has been shed breaks down and becomes nourishment. By the time spring arrives, the land is not starting from nothing; it has been preparing. Spring Equinox marks the moment when the soil is ready to receive seeds.
This virtual gathering offers a community-centered space for collective visioning grounded in seasonal rhythm rather than the westernized Gregorian New Year tradition of resolutions and productivity that often disconnects our bodies from land and natural cycles. Vision boards are approached as a way of gathering seeds, images, words, symbols, and longings that feel viable after a season of rest. What we gather is shaped by what has already composted.
Together, we will open the space intentionally, then move into guided visioning through creative practices such as digital or physical vision boards. Rather than focusing on goals or outcomes, this gathering centers listening, noticing, and choosing what is ready to be planted now, and what still needs time.
The structure of the gathering blends focused creative time with gentle pauses for rest, movement, and nervous system regulation, mirroring the rhythms of land and body. Participants may work quietly, collaborate in small groups, or simply witness the process unfolding. Sharing is always invitational and never required.
This gathering is designed for people who feel called to approach visioning as an act of relationship, with land, with time, and with their own embodied cycles. It honors the truth that renewal follows rest, and that what we plant carries the memory of winter.
Sessions will not be recorded to support privacy and meaningful participation.
Presenters
Dr. Roger J. Kuhn, PhD, LMFT, CSE, CST
Dr. Roger J. Kuhn, PhD, LMFT, CSE, CST, (he/him), is a Poarch Creek Two-Spirit scholar, somacultural psychotherapist, sexuality educator, and artist whose work centers embodied liberation at the intersections of culture, identity, and pleasure. They are an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and the author of Somacultural Liberation, a widely respected book that examines how dominant cultural systems shape our relationship to our bodies, and how reconnecting to somatic and cultural wisdom supports healing, resilience, and self-trust.
Grounded in their lived experience as a Poarch Creek Two-Spirit person, Dr. Rogā€™s work draws from Indigenous knowledge, Two-Spirit frameworks, and somatic practices to understand the body as a site of memory, resistance, and possibility. Their scholarship offers a decolonizing approach to sexuality and embodiment, emphasizing that pleasure, nervous system regulation, and cultural context are essential to both personal and collective healing.
In addition to their clinical and scholarly work, Dr. Rog is an accomplished musician whose creative practice extends their somacultural lens into sound, rhythm, and performance. Through music, they explore themes of identity, desire, liberation, and transformation, inviting audiences into embodied experience beyond words. Across modalities, their work is guided by a simple and powerful truth: pleasure heals, and Two-Spirit and Indigenous ways of knowing hold essential wisdom for imagining freer, more connected futures.
