1-DAY AUTUMN EQUINOX RETREAT

~A celebration of Gratitude & Release

 

The Autumn Equinox marks the official start of Fall, when the sun shines directly on the equator, resulting in a balance of light and dark.  The leaves will begin turning colors, the sun sets earlier, and the air grows crisper.  Signifying a wonderful time to connect in community to practice yoga, release what no longer serves us to make space for the ingredient of happiness; Gratitude.

• Three separate yoga practices will be lead by Tiffany, Amy & Carrie.  Each providing support for gratitude, releasing and slowing down to ease into Autumn.

• This event will be rain or shine.

• The restroom is located at the beginning of the trail, breaks will be provided.

• The proprietor, MacKenzie, will lead us around the horse sanctuary, home to over 25 wild mustangs and donkeys (Peanut Butter & Jelly). We will take a unique forest bath silent walk, as she provides instructions in case any horses decide to approach.

• A mandala journal, handmade by Akhila of AK Home Designs, will be provided to record journal prompts, gratitude and thoughts.

• Before the close of our day, we will burn anything we desire to release in an open fire pit, performing a gratitude ritual too.

 

The Autumn Equinox offers an opportunity to connect with the energy of the changing season to find balance within themselves. Now is a good time to reflect on everything that has happened so far in the year, express gratitude, and lighten our load by releasing what we no longer have to carry into the Winter months.
