Awakening Hope: A Community Ritual to Heal from Addiction

Awakening Hope: A Community Ritual to Heal from AddictionMabon Gathering – Finding Our BalanceFriday, September 19, 2025 | 6:30 – 9:30 PMPassenger Recovery | 3901 Christopher St, Hamtramck, MIFree | No registration required | All are welcome

At the autumn equinox, when day and night stand in equal measure, we gather to honor the sacred balance within ourselves and our recovery. This is a time to reflect on both what we have surrendered and what we have received, holding space for gratitude, release, and hope.

Whether you’re seeking recovery, walking the path, or standing in loving support of someone who is, this ritual is for you. Together, we’ll align with the Earth’s rhythms and co-create a circle of healing, connection, and renewal.

What to Expect:

• Opening of the Circle & Seasonal Reflection
• Writing Practice: What We Release & What We Receive
• The Balance Ritual: Offering Wooden Coins to the Scale
• Invocation of Hope & Collective Blessing

This ritual aligns with the Pagan sabbat of Mabon, a time of balance, thanksgiving, and preparation for the dark half of the year. We’ll honor the theme of “Finding Our Balance” as we witness the gifts of letting go and the blessings of return.

What to Bring (Optional):

• A journal for reflection
• An item to place on our shared altar (something meaningful, sacred, or symbolic)
• Your open heart and willingness to connect

This is an indoor event, with the possibility of stepping outside depending on weather and ritual flow.
