The Autumnal Equinox is in three weeks, and I'm offering my first public plant medicine ceremony here at Deva Haven to honor it 🥳
The transition into fall time tips the scales of night and day, taking back our incredibly long hours of sunlight, and gently ushering us into increased periods of darkness. It is a time of recalibrating with the Earth as she tilts our hemisphere further away from the Sun and invites us into cold, quiet stillness.
Autumn's Equinox reminds us of the importance of community, kinship, and comradery, as we begin to prepare our minds, bodies, and homes for the coming freezes, the need to hunker down, and the reality of what it means when our part of world goes cold, dark, and ungenerous.
This day is composed of equal parts daylight and nighttime, compelling us to take inventory of our own psyche's brightly lit corridors - and shadowy corners.
This ceremony will provide guests with a ritualized shadow & light process, a deep sound journey, live acoustic music, and an opportunity to be served the Amazonian plant sacraments of Sananga and Rapé from a ten-year student of the ways of plant ceremony and lifelong follower of Earth ritual (me 🙃).
Additionally, as the Autumnal Equinox is a time of breaking bread and sharing food with community, I will be providing a yummy, warm post-ceremony meal 😋
I am only opening space for ten people in this intimate experience, so reserve your seat ahead of time because these ceremonies do fill up.
