Balance is a brief moment available to us.
The earth and sun are poised between one way of being and another.

The final harvest is in. The pulse of life slowing down, Autumn is manifesting.
We shall embrace this slow descent into dark with dance, food and sharing.
A seasonal moment to recognise and respond to the opportunity for reflection and introspection.

The Autumn harvest is here, what will you hold near for the cooler seasons and the winter ahead?

Invocation:
The day is balanced, the night is balanced, all is balanced this day.

Balance in all we do, think, and say.

The Sun is balanced, the Moon is balanced, all is balanced this day.

Balance is the divine way.

The light is balanced, the dark is balanced, all is balanced this day.

From balance may we never stray.

Join Gaia's Garden as we let fall away like leaves what is not in balance in our lives and celebrate the final harvest of the season before turning to the darker months.
