EQUINOX: *a community gathering*

*we invite you to gather with us amongst the changing of the season, to welcome the autumn winds and give thanks for the summers blessings.*
*we will gather in gentle ceremony and sweet prayer, we will make our offerings to land and sea, share in abudant food and elixirs*
*we will sit by candlelight into the evening as we share song, story and poetry- ritually embracing the coming long nights with a community ceremony of connection.*

We are so excited to welcome you to this special offering –

Our vision is to come together in a simple and wholesome way as a community to welcome the changing of the seasons, to give way to the autumn winds and give thanks for all that has come to pass under the summer sun. This gathering is for all, for families, for new and old friends, for those who are feeling the ache for deep community threads. You are invited to join us Saturday afternoon to settle into the sacred space of Rock Barra, where then we will gather in a simple and sacred ceremony offering prayers to land and sea. Our hope is to create the most beautiful earth offering, share songs, laughter, play and fun.
(more details below on what to bring for this!)

In the early evening we will gather around the holy hearth to share the abundance of harvest in a community potluck dinner. We follow the feast with an evening of ritual, song, prayer, connection– Resonant Hearts Ceremony. We envision this to be a candlelit evening in the sweet holy temple of Rock Barra where we will as a community create an evening of gentle ceremony and ritual. Bring a song, a poem, a practice, bring your presence, your heart, your devotion, your thankfulness. There will be an opportunity to “sign up” earlier in the day if you wish to share something in the ceremony, and then we will curate the evening with those wanting to contribute! Sink into the evening afterwards with dance, sauna, sit by the wood stove, watch the stars, flow in the spirit of love and community.

Start the morning with a Cha Dao tea ceremony, sunrise beach walk, and other morning practices. We will gather then for a community potluck breakfast followed by a simple closing circle to complete our time together.

This gathering is a pay what you can offering. Included in your contribution is camping, ceremonies, cacao & tea, sauna, access to beach, land and river. Below you will see various payment options of your choice. Space is limited for this event due to the small space of the venue, so you must purchase a spot via the website below in order to secure your spot!
