Autumn Equinox Threshold

A Celtic-Inspired Gathering of Story, Ceremony & Sound

As the outer light begins to soften and the seasons turn, we invite you to gather with us for a beautiful afternoon of reflection, connection and ceremony.

Together, we will share a warm seasonal drink and take a short lantern walk as we witness the changing season around us—and the season unfolding within us.

We will then gather in an autumn-inspired circle as Janice shares an old Welsh tale that beautifully echoes the themes of the season. Together, we will move through meaningful seasonal ritual before settling into a deeply grounding sound journey.

A time to honour what has grown, gently lay down what is complete and remember the light we carry within.

“As the outer light begins to fade, we gather to remember the light that lives within us—the one no season, circumstance or darkness can extinguish.”

Whether you need a single healing session, a day to reset your nervous system, or a longer private retreat to step away from the demands of everyday life, there is space here for you.

You don't have to wait until you're completely exhausted to choose yourself.

Explore the services and private retreats at Higher Ground and discover what kind of support feels right for you.

Your wellbeing matters. Your energy matters. You matter.

Slow down, soften, and come home to yourself!
Join me tonight for a deeply nourishing Yin Yoga class from 6:30–7:45 PM.

This gentle, meditative practice invites you to settle into stillness, release tension held deep within the body, and reconnect with your breath.

Perfect for all levels, yin yoga supports the nervous system, increases flexibility, and creates space—physically and energetically—for restoration and renewal.

Expect long-held, supported postures
A calm, grounding atmosphere
Time to unwind, reflect, and reset

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

August 21 brings Venus opposite Saturn, placing love, loyalty, self-worth & karmic repayment beneath a powerful sky that reveals what every connection has truly been teaching you.

Saturn remembers the devotion you gave sincerely, the boundaries you finally honoured & every moment you chose self-respect when accepting less would have been easier.

Venus now brings the heart into that reckoning, allowing karmic rewards to arrive through reciprocated affection, a commitment becoming firmer, an overdue apology or someone finally showing how deeply they value your presence.

Past connections may return to your thoughts because their lesson is becoming easier to understand from where you stand today. You could suddenly see why someone entered your life, why the bond affected you so deeply & what it taught you about loyalty, devotion & reciprocation.

For relationships built on genuine care, this energy can deepen trust through promises being honoured, plans becoming definite & affection being supported by consistent actions. Your heart may feel lighter as uncertainty fades & another person’s behaviour finally gives you something solid to believe in.

What you have given with a pure heart carries karmic value, & the Universe remembers every ounce of love offered sincerely.
