As the wheel turns and the days grow shorter, join us for an evening of community, reflection, and ceremony as we celebrate the autumn harvest.This season invites us to pause and take stock of our own "harvest": the achievements, growth, and gifts of the past year. It also asks us to make space for what we've lost. Together, we'll hold room for both gratitude and grief, honoring the fullness of the year behind us.
Our evening will include:
🌾 A community harvest circle — sharing thanks for what we've grown and gathered this year, and honoring what we've released or lost.
🎶 A sound healing ceremony, facilitated by Laina Pilkenton.
🍁 A hands-on crafting activity using a natural item you bring from home.
🤝 A communal gift exchange to close out our time together.
🍵 A fall-appropriate beverage and light snacks will be available
✨ What to bring:
1. A natural item (a leaf, stone, feather, acorn, small gourd, etc.) that you'll take back home with you — this will be used in our crafting activity.
2. An item to give away as part of our gift exchange. Some ideas include: deer antlers, feathers, rocks, mead, wine, flowers, fruit, vegetables, incense, art, crystals, tea, leaves, or candles — anything that feels meaningful to share.
3. Comfort items for our sound healing meditation — a yoga mat, blanket, camping roll, and/or pillow to help you settle in and relax during the ceremony.
Come as you are, ready to give thanks, release what no longer serves you, and connect with fellow 21st-century pagans in community. Whether you celebrate it as Mabon, Haustblót, or Pumpkin Spice Season, you’re welcome in this space.
Registration: $30 (Can be sent either via Venmo or brought in person on the day of the event.
