Welcoming Autumn: A Fall Equinox Gathering & Ritual

Welcoming Autumn: A Fall Equinox Gathering & Ritual

Sunday, September 22
6:00 PM


For eons, all around the world,
humanity has gathered at seasonal markers

to celebrate and honor the gifts of the season.


You are invited to pause
from the hustle and bustle of daily life and join in this ancient tradition to:

  • acknowledge your interdependence–with others and nature’s rhythms
  • rejuvenate your body and mind by aligning with the fall energies
  • sing together in celebration 
  • express gratitude for the bounty of harvest
  • explore the Fall Equinox as the start of a new year, and reflect on your experiences of the past year 
  • identify the bountiful gifts from your year, and what you are ready to let go

We will gather around a bonfire (weather permitting), weaving songs and interactive activities with periods of reflection and sharing. We will also explore this being the “new year” point for nature’s energy cycle and how that relates to our own lives and rhythms. A release ritual, of burning what we are ready to let go, will free up energy to welcome the new!

Details of what to bring will be sent to those who RSVP (see below).

If you’d like to explore information in advance about the Fall Equinox as nature’s new year, check out this excerpt from the Perelandra Garden Workbook. This has been a formational concept for me over the past 5 years or so, guiding me to align more closely with nature’s energy and cycles. I find it more meaningful than the Gregorian calendar year, and it supports and guides where I focus my time and energy in each season. (Gratitude also to Beth Raps of RAISING CLARITY for introducing me to Perelandra and this perspective… and for providing expert coaching!)
