Let us mark together the moment in time when our Brother Sun stands directly above the equator marking the moment summer ends and fall begins in our northern hemisphere. Equinox is a Latin word that means ‘equal night.’ All over the world, night and day are equal, as the Earth’s axis is tilted neither away nor toward the sun. Let us gather to be grateful for nature’s generous gifts during this harvest season. It is time to gather our communal appreciation for our beautiful, but fragile, world.

How will you celebrate? Hug a tree, meander the footpaths, walk the labyrinth, visit the prairie, count turkeys, greet the deer. On the other hand, you can howl at the moon, sit at the fire pit in gratitude, sip cool water, drum to the heartbeat of the earth, breathe fresh air, and feel the earth. Or you may harvest prairie seeds, listen to the birds and the night sounds, and meditate on receiving and releasing. Let the energy of the fall equinox balance what you give and receive. The ritual includes naming our abundance and words of gratitude will close the evening.

Join us! Attend this spontaneous night event in Canticle Park led by seasoned Solstice Celebrators!
