Embracing Chinese New Year

Welcome to the Year of the Wood Snake!

The Chinese New Year celebrations have begun!  The 2025 festivities extend from the new moon on January 29 to the full moon on February 12.  

This is an occasion to celebrate the new beginnings of spring.  It is a time of family gatherings, traditions, good food, and fireworks.

We have entered the year of the Wood Snake.  While many in western cultures have fears around snakes, they represent powerful symbols of transformation and rebirth.
