Come join us at this sacred threshold between light and dark as we gather close to the autumn equinox.

This is an opportunity through movement, connection and community to come together to integrate and honour all that we have experienced during the summer.

We meet ourselves and one another in this powerful container with honesty, gratitude and presence.

A prayer in motion to let go as we move through this season of change.

✦

Through music, movement, ritual and song, we reconnect with the quiet wisdom within us, the steady rhythm of body, heart and mind.

This is a space to listen deeply to what is ready to be harvested and what is ready to fall away across your path, your relationships, your practice and your expression.

As the light softens and the earth begins to turn inward, we welcome all parts of ourselves into the circle. With the elements of earth, air, fire and water, we co-create a collective prayer for grounding, clarity, nourishment and release.

A prayer for balance, belonging and trust as we continue to meet these times of transformation, together.
