As the earth transitions from active growth into a time of rest, we join cultures around the world in honoring this natural shift. Guided by Sally Childs-Helton and Lola Williamson and inspired by our musicians, we will explore the transformative power of ritual to deepen our connection with ourselves, one another, and the natural world through practices of abundance and release. How to participate: Dress in autumn hues (yellows, oranges, reds, purples, or browns) and bring a seasonal item from nature—for example, an apple, pear, squash, acorn, or fallen leaf—to share in the experience.

For those attending on Zoom, you might like to set up an altar and dress in fall colors as well. Have paper and pen ready as we’ll be writing during a period of contemplation.

Whether in person or on Zoom, come pause, reflect, and celebrate with us!
