Autumn

Through the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice, Mother Earth's energy does phenomenal work breaking down all that was built throughout the year. This energy is also active in each of our personal lives. Consciously making use of this special time of year allows us to clear out the year's harvested crops and weeds, and prepare the soil of our energy and minds for our heart's desire to manifest next spring.

The Autumnal Equinox marks the beginning of shorter days and longer nights. We gather with friends to strengthen our spirits in preparation for the passage into winter. But it is a time of thanksgiving, for on the other side of that dark winter is spring.

We’ll be doing a gentle yoga practice and a walking meditation on the outdoor Labyrinth.

Bring 2 blankets and a yoga mat.

Please arrive 15 minutes before to sign in and set up.

Suggested fee: $25
