Autumnal Equinox Ceremony // Gratitude Magic & Ancestral Knowing
Hosted by Sarah Rayne
6pm PT // 9pm ET
As the wheel of the year turns, we come upon our Autumnal Equinox, also known as Mabon in Pagan traditions!
This day of equal light and dark is a time of sacred balance, a portal that marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. This is our second harvest, when the fruits and vegetables of our summer labors are ripe for the enjoying.
After the equinox, the nights begin to grow longer as we move towards colder weather. The Equinox also marks the first day of Libra season!
Connecting with the changing of the seasons is a way to remember our ancestral wisdom, and tap into the heartbeats of the earth, and tether ourselves into grounded awareness of what is.
Let's celebrate all that is good, and all that we have to be grateful for! For this ceremony we will work with themes of gratitude, abundance, ancestral knowing, breaking free from "not-enoughness", honoring our own harvests, and calling in balance in all things.
We will work with the sacred + accessible tools of meditation, creativity, community sharing and connection, and our own personal magic. And of course, we will sing!
All are welcome in this magical, sacred space
