The Autumnal Equinox (Mabon) offers us that pause of liminal space when there is equal dark and light. It offers you a time to reflect. Not to rest in judgment, but to celebrate the blessings and observe where you would like to make some shifts. It remind us to let go, like the trees are beginning to do with their leaves, of things that are no longer serving us to make space for new things. Traversing our way into the darkness, fall is the opportunity to set the stage for winter's integrative slumber. What are you ready to release? What are you ready to refocus your energy on to bring to fruition in the spring? Let's gather in community to celebrate, release, call in, and prepare ourselves for the coming integrative slumber. Let's weave webs of connections within ourselves and within each other.
