March 20th marks the Spring Equinox — the official start of spring. The equinox marks something deeper: the reset of a cycle and an invitation to move into life differently than you have been.
Most of us move through seasons without really meeting them. We notice it's warmer, maybe we switch out our wardrobe, and life continues largely unchanged. But what if the seasons were actually offering us something? A rhythm to attune to. An energy to work with rather than past.
This is the idea at the heart of seasonal living. When we engage in seasonal living, it shifts how we show up in our intimate lives.
Take a moment to think about what happens in the world as we transition into spring.
Maybe you notice the world’s energy picking up - lighter, buzzy, and exciting. Maybe you feel it in your body as having the desire to move again. Or a curious opening within yourself, like something is quietly cracking the surface.
This is the energy of spring.
Spring is about growth, upward movement, and expansion - with lightness. It’s a curious energy. Like a little kid who wants to try everything. They give something a try and then follow the next impulse with equal enthusiasm. Unattached, open, and alive.
Spring holds enormous potential. Carrying the groundedness of winter, yet something is ready to blossom. Spring invites you to try new things, break a few rules, stay unattached to outcomes, and follow your curiosity. To let yourself be led by creativity, play, and adventurousness.
The key quality of spring energy is this: it doesn't need to know where it's going. It just wants to explore.
We live in a culture that treats every day, every season, and every year as essentially the same. We're expected to produce, perform, and show up at the same level regardless of whether it's the height of summer or the dead of winter. We set New Year's resolutions in January — the coldest, darkest time of year — and wonder why they don't stick.
But nature doesn't work that way. And neither do we.
Each season has its own energy, purpose, and invitation. Just as nature moves through distinct seasons, so do we as individuals. Our relationships and intimate lives do as well. When we learn to move with the seasons rather than through them, something shifts. We become more present. and intimate with the natural rhythm of our own lives.
Spring is the season of new beginnings, curiosity, and expansion. Which means right now is one of the most potent times of year to try something new, follow an impulse, and explore what's possible.
Intimacy moves through seasons too. Here's what spring energy can look like across three different dimensions of intimate life:
Spring in self-intimacy is about giving yourself permission to be curious about yourself.
This might look like:
Spring in self-intimacy invites you to be free and carefree, while learning who you are now after winter’s integration.
Spring in relationship is about remembering that your partnership is still full of undiscovered territory. And letting that excite you rather than feel like a problem.
This might look like:
Spring relational intimacy is about letting curiosity be the driver rather than comfort or routine.
One of the most spring-aligned sexual practices is something called sandboxing.
Sandboxing is when you request something in sex — a type of touch, position, or dynamic you've been curious about — without any attachment to it producing pleasure or orgasm. The entire point is exploration, not outcome. It takes the pressure off sex completely while opening the door to your curiosities and desires.
Spring sexual intimacy is about following desire without needing it to lead anywhere in particular. And letting that open exploration teach you new things about your pleasure and your partner.
The invitation of spring isn't to do more. It's to do things differently — with more curiosity and willingness to be surprised by what you find.
When you approach your intimate life with spring energy, something opens. Not because you've added more to your plate, but because you've brought a quality of attention and aliveness to what's already there.
Spring is here. The question is: are you ready to meet it?
