Spring Equinox Fire

Spring Equinox Campfire by the Sea

Middle Cove Beach

As the days grow longer and winter begins to soften, join us by the ocean to welcome the shift in seasons.

This relaxed outdoor gathering is an early celebration of spring — a chance to pause, reflect, and connect with others building their lives in Newfoundland and Labrador. Around a cozy beach campfire, we’ll roast marshmallows, make classic s’mores, sip hot chocolate, and enjoy meaningful conversation against the backdrop of the Atlantic waves. The afternoon will be guided by Bill Walters and Hillary Bellows, who will help create a welcoming space for connection and reflection.

The Spring Equinox marks a rare balance — when day and night are nearly equal. It’s a natural reset point. A moment to acknowledge how far you’ve come and step into the season ahead with renewed energy.

You’ll leave with:

• A stronger sense of community and belonging
• Fresh perspective and seasonal intention
• A peaceful afternoon outdoors in a stunning coastal setting

This is a welcoming, inclusive space for adults (18+) at any stage of their journey here — whether you’re newly settled or have been in NL for years.
