Join me for a decadent evening of ritual and ceremony as we celebrate and interweave with the Autumn Equinox.
The Autumn Equinox is a powerful beginning that catalyses a whole new cycle of life. It can teache you the sacrificial art of letting go and supports your descent into the winter months. Governed by the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn encourages you to slow down, release strenuous attachments, and seek meditative reflection, like a humble samurai retreating into the woods. From here, you are able to detach, delineate, and differentiate yourself from the outside world, creating healthy choices and helpful perceptions. The Metal element is slow, patient and wise, inspiring reverence, respect and humility, helping you look upon your life with wonder.
Throughout this ritual, I hope to share my knowledge with you, highlighting the qualities of this element and its strengths. Through this sharing, I hope you find wisdom, practice and insights that help you move mindfully through the challenges of this season, whilst also preparing for the exciting cycle to come.

ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND SHIRLEY:
I am humbled to share this incredible event with my friend Shirley Liu this year. Shirley has studied Traditional Tibetan Sound Healing with her masters in China and offers powerful one-on-one vibrational healing sessions that move stagnant chi and revitalise the soul. She uses traditional Tibetan singing bowls that she dragged lovingly across the world from Nepal, attuned to the chakras, earthly elements and planetary structures (e.g. the sun, moon, and so on). Shirley will imbue you with autumn-inspired resonance as you drift into meditative Savasana. Her offering will further support the intention of our practice ~ to learn from and balance our sacred Metal element and to bow our heads in the sacrificial and courageous act of letting go.
