The Fall Equinox offers a major opportunity for community of like-minded souls to gather together from NY, CT and Mass. and connect with the indigenous practices of the Anishinaabe First Nation as shared by Bear Walker, Scott Nelson and others. We will honor and celebrate the balance of light and dark at this pivotal moment of equilibrium. It is a time of harvest when we give thanks for an abundance of blessings while simultaneously marking the shift from external preoccupation to internal introspection as the coming days get shorter.
