About the event

What is Autumnal Equinox: The  Fall Equinox, also known as the Autumnal Equinox, occurs when the sun  crosses the celestial equator, making day and night approximately equal  in length. This event happens once a year, around September 22 or 23 in  the Northern Hemisphere. The Fall Equinox marks the official beginning of autumn.

Symbolically, the Fall Equinox represents balance, harvest, and  transition. It is a time when nature begins to prepare for winter, with  leaves changing colors and temperatures cooling. Many cultures and  traditions celebrate this time of year with festivals that honor the  harvest and give thanks for the abundance of the growing season. It is  also a period of introspection, as the days grow shorter and the natural  world slows down, encouraging us to turn inward and reflect on our own  growth and changes.

Seasonal Change: Dress in layers

How we will embody the seasonal change:  We will release anything holding us back and bring in a more aligned future by working with the fire. The fire will be activated by song, dance, and herbs. Then a cleansing Gong Sound bath.

Sun moves into Libra: Libra is the sign of Balance  and equality, being the 7th sign in the zodiac, it represents the  "other" a time when we may make a compromise to allow more of the other into our lives

Darkness: the equinox is a time when darkness in the  northern hemispere begins to takes up more of the sky bringing in self reflection and rejuvenation. A dying to be reborn come spring.

What will we do: We will begin by honoring this  celestial event by creating an Alter of fallen nature (leaves, twigs,  flowers, pine cones, fruit. (anything nature has let go of) building a  focal point giving thanks to the abundance on earth and in our lives in  gratitude. There will be an option to write down what you are grateful  for over the past 6 months. The Alter blessings will then be tossed in  the the ceremonial fire by participants in an act of  prayer as you align yourself in the natural rhythm of nature that we are  a part of creating a feeling of connection to all that is. An  opportunity to dance, sing and share. we will then move into the Sound  Pyramid (aka The Barn) to somatically integrate our purest intentions  into a somatic sound healing experience that will permeate your entire  being. The sound journey will be with 14 gongs, 9 crystal bowls, chimes,  hand pan, kalimba, crystal triangles including many hand held healing  instruments that will be hovered over your body for personal  alchemization. After the journey lands, we will share experiences and  seal it with an offering to the earth. Ian Campbell will be tending the sacred fire.
