The fall equinox is coming up, the autumnal midpoint between the summer and winter solstices. This time offers us space to pause, give thanks, notice the changing light, and consider balance as the earth begins its shift from the light half to the dark half of the year.

Equinoxes are a great time to check in on what we’ve been tending to, nurturing, or calling forth this year. Are there projects, plans, goals or dreams that have come to fruition? An accomplishment (or two) you’re proud of? How about within yourself—are there changes you’ve been working on this year, ways you’ve grown since January? Taking a little time to reflect on these questions can help you see your growth, as well as where you might like to realign, bring yourself into greater balance.

This class includes a short talk on the energies of this time, a guided meditation, journaling and/or sharing, and maybe a little movement or music. If you wish, bring something that symbolizes balance, abundance or the season (a candle, a gourd or root vegetable, leaves or pinecones, a piece of amber or citrine, anything orange/red/yellow/copper/dark green, etc.)
