Women's Circle - Autumn Equinox

You’re welcome to join our warm sister circle as we transition to autumn at the Autumn Equinox.

A chance to take a breath, see how you are and come into some calming practices to support you in grounding and gaining focus this autumn. Our circles are all about a warm and friendly environment, and all are welcome.

The Autumn Equinox (or Mabon in the Pagan calendar) is all about balancing opposites in our lives -  the darkness and the light within, contraction and expansion, the Yin and the Yang, the old, and the new. Everything co-exists together and we need both sides in order to be balanced. This is the time to celebrate both sides, and honour the changing season which brings a chance to start again, to reclaim the inner balance.

The Autumn Equinox is also a meaningful time of year to honour the harvest. Whether that be a "real" harvest of the things planted in your garden, or the harvest of efforts and intentions for your life path that you set earlier in the year. The harvest can come in many forms...the food that nourishes us, our family and friends, health, growth...

We'll be setting intentions that will stay with us throughout the winter. There is the option to meet again in circle at Winter Solstice.

We like to blend in a range of practices in our circles...

· Sharing Circles

· Grounding Meditation

· Expansive questions for journaling

· Self Massage

· Gentle Yin Yoga to release physical tensions (no experience of yoga needed)

· Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation)

These circles are held in the cosy Shala space in Cliftonville.

Our circles are held quarterly at the Solstices and Equinoxes.
