Autumn Equinox Celebration!
A Virtual Equinox Ritual
The busyness and heat of summer is coming to an end and the quiet slipping into the dormancy and stillness of winter is beginning. The autumn equinox, when the hours of daylight once again equal the hours of darkness, offers a moment to pause, shed the heat/activity of summer, and prepare to enter into a time of increased silence and introspection.
Do you:
- feel overwhelmed by the busyness, chaos, and pain of life?
- crave time to pause, to align with the natural world, and to recharge?
- love celebrating the seasons in a ritual way with like-minded others?
If so, I warmly invite you to join me for a virtual autumn equinox ritual!
Within the space of 75 minutes, we will dive deep into ritual, allowing ourselves to receive the gift of being held and nourished by the balancing medicine of the autumn equinox.

Autumn is a time of transition.
And of shedding. Like the leaves that will soon be falling from the trees, you may find yourself in a time of shedding as well.
Autumn is a time when we begin to feel called more inward and to settle into a deeper, quieter part of ourselves. For this to happen, it is necessary to release any stress or anxiety that has built up in our nervous systems. This shedding of stress often, for me anyway, involves tears.
Ritually, the autumn equinox offers a potent time for us to spend a moment together in sacred space and to align with the incoming season. It offers the medicine of celestial balance (perfect balance of light and dark) that, if we take a moment to receive it, can bring increased balance and harmony into our human bodies and lives as well.
What will the virtual equinox ritual involve?
The ritual will begin with a non-dogmatic invocation/prayer. From there, we will take a moment to greet our well ancestors and make some offerings. Then, we will spend time offering all we wish to release to Water. Next, we will enter into a drum journey where you can sink deeply into, be held by, and align with the Medicine of the Equinox. Finally, we will spent a few minutes in reflection via free-writing to allow all that we’ve experienced to land a bit more deeply into our bodies, minds, and hearts.
Sound good?
Yay! I can’t wait to be in ritual with you!

Please note – this is a ritual which means I won’t be doing much teaching/explaining (although your questions will be welcome). Instead, we will truly be entering sacred space together. I highly recommend setting aside time to show up fully with your attention undivided so you can sink fully into ritual space. If isn’t possible for you to show up in this way for the live event, do know that these events are just as potent via the recording. Totally fine/good to wait to participate until you are able to devote your full attention/energy to being in ritual space.
