Eugenia will guide you through creating your own beautifully decorated eggs that symbolise abundance, creativity, and rebirth for the season ahead. Why paint eggs for Ostara? In many traditions, the egg symbolises life, renewal, and possibility. Decorating eggs at Ostara brings the energy of growth and abundance into your life, honouring the cycles of nature. What to Expect: Creative Seasonal Symbols: Use a variety of natural dyes, paints, and embellishments to make unique eggs that represent your intentions. Fun & Uplifting Atmosphere: Enjoy a springtime craft in a lively, supportive setting with others welcoming the season of growth. Personal Touches: Feel free to bring symbols, herbs, or colours meaningful to you, infusing your eggs with personal significance.
