Autumn Equinox, Mabon, Soul Circle

This workshop will be led via Zoom with helpful tips to create your sacred retreat space in the comfort of your home.

Align to the rhythm of Autumn with a magical healing circle where wisdom will be shared and energies integrated. The circle will leave you feeling ready for the journey into the Yin phase of the year.

Theme: Reflection and Balance

With the turning of the wheel, night and day are equal again. Following the active phases of Spring/Summer, the energy begins to tip and wane, by acknowledging this transition we can prepare to retreat inwards and take stock which is mirrored by the landscape. This special day is also known as Mabon, named after the God of Welsh Mythology.

This is the second Harvest (the first was at Lughnasadh or Lammas on the 1st of August). The third and final Harvest is at Samhain (November 1st).

We will be working with the element of Earth calling in Divine Feminine energy to nurture, restore and support along with the element of Metal to purify, eliminate and release. We harvest all that we have learnt through our expansion in summer and gather ourselves to nourish from within, shedding (like the falling leaves) what we no longer need. This season prepares us both emotionally and physically for Winter. I’ll share why this is so important and how it benefits us.

The Cycles within the Cycles -

The moon is in her waning crescent phase, the final release before she rebirths at her new moon phase, we can harness this lunar energy to enhance the Autumnal rhythms of release, shedding and letting go.

The Sun enters Libra season on the Equinox. This is where we call on the element of air, the winds of change harnessing the energies of Libra for balance and equality.

What is a Circle?

Circles have existed since ancient times (in every culture), they are the oldest form of social interaction, it was normal to gather, to share stories and pass on wisdom. It’s in our DNA. So if this is your first circle I invite you to give yourself this gift on this magical day of the year, to step out of your everyday life with responsibilities and come home to yourself. It will be a safe and nurturing space.
