The midpoint of the month, Tu b'Shevat, is a day we \n celebrate as the New Year of the Trees, which represents the awakening \n of the sap that has lain dormant all winter.\n \nThe mental, emotional, and spiritual objective of this month is \n to create healthy relationships with our physical appetites -- \n and most specifically with food.\n \n \nEach month of the year radiates with a distinct quality \n and provides unique opportunities for personal growth and illumination.\n \nShevat falls decidedly in the winter season, yet it also signals the first stirrings \n of spring and new life.
