Larks are small birds with powerful symbolism across many cultures and traditions. Often associated with hope, renewal, and the break of day when light emerges after a time of darkness, larks embody many values at the heart of therapy. In literature and myths, larks often appear at turning points, harbingers of change that signal dawn or awakening. In this way, larks often become a gentle companion for those on a journey toward greater insight, healing or connection. Larks are known to sing as they rise in flight, reflecting the process of finding voice, even while navigating difficulty or change.
