Magic in the Woods - Mabon Gathering
About this Event
Autumn Equinox Gathering
Join us in person to celebrate Mabon - the celebration of harvest and a connection to the approaching dark half of the year
This event is about embracing the season’s energy of gratitude and abundance, reflection and a soft welcoming of the darker months of the year.
The astrology on this date supports your transition, bringing an opportunity for the change you want to see in the world to start to be created.
The sun is the final few days of Virgo, which has been flooding your September so far with practicality, organisation, fresh habits and 'sensible' thinking, equipping you for preparation, hardwork and the celebration of harvest. . But this is balanced by the moon in the first quarter phase, in the sign of sagitattius, encouraging you to move from goal setting to practical action, overcoming barriers and making decisions that you've been contemplating.
Tonight's event with honour these themes and invite you into a space of reflection and celebration and the opportunity for this night to be a point of release and reconnection with what really matters in your life..
This evening of connection and magic in the woods will help you to take time for you, noticing the power of the season and explore the rich story-telling of the Autumn Equinox point of balance.
We have the space to gather in the cabin if the weather doesn't allow being out by the fire*, but if it's a dry, bright Autumn evening, we'll be outside by the fire and under the stars for more of the session.
Mabon is a true time of harvest and reflection, so there's space to make herb/smudging bundles and enjoy a powerful shamanic journey with drums and an uplifting playlist alongside quiet times of semi-silence observing and witnessing the nature around us.
*Although fires are currently permitted due to the recent rain, the Thames Valley is still in severe drought and is we are advised against fire at our event, we'll create a fire ceremony using objects, sound and movement - without any open flame - if the advice changes
This evening event is for curious minds and open hearts of all genders and abilities.
