THE GATHERING: Honouring the autumn equinox
Description
Autumn Equinox Retreat: Yin Yoga, Sound Healing & Community
An afternoon of reflective journaling, soothing yin yoga, and an immersive sound bath to honour the autumn equinox and connect with community.
As the wheel of the year turns and we enter the autumn equinox—a time of equal light and dark—we invite you to pause, ground yourself, and intentionally transition into the new season. This two-hour mini-retreat is designed to help you release the high, outward energy of summer and turn inward, making space for rest, reflection, and deep nourishment.
The Journey:
45-Minute Yin Yoga: We will begin with a slow, grounding Yin practice. By holding gentle floor-based postures for extended periods, we will target the deep connective tissues, releasing physical tension and calming the nervous system.
45-Minute Sound Bath: Transitioning seamlessly into a cocoon of blankets, you will be bathed in the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and soothing instruments. This immersive acoustic experience promotes cellular healing and profound relaxation.
30-Minute Journaling & Community: We will slowly awaken and gather in a circle to integrate our experience. Enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea and a slice of delicious homemade cake while we journal, reflect on what we are ready to let go of this autumn, and connect with like-minded souls.
