Autumn Equinox Sound & Ground Afternoon

An afternoon of connecting to nature, grounding into the changing season and honouring the Equinox through meditation and sound 🍂 Autumn Equinox Sound & Ground Afternoon Sunday 20th September | 4–6pm 📍 Porthkerry Country Park As we approach the Autumn Equinox, join me for a gentle afternoon amongst the trees to slow down, reconnect with nature and welcome the changing season. The equinox marks a natural turning point in the year — summer beginning to give way to autumn, the days gradually shortening and the natural world beginning its journey inward. We’ll take inspiration from the landscape around us, spending two hours away from the noise and busyness of everyday life and allowing ourselves to move at a slower pace. 🌳 Our afternoon We’ll meet at the first car park at Porthkerry Country Park (not the café car park) before walking together to our spot amongst the trees. Once there, we’ll begin with a nature-based grounding meditation, taking time to notice the sounds, sensations and movement of the woodland around us. We’ll then explore gentle connection with the trees and the land — perhaps placing our hands against the bark, leaning against a tree or, for those who feel comfortable, giving one a proper hug! From there, you’ll find your own comfortable place for a restorative sound bath amongst the trees. You might choose to sit with your back supported by a tree, or lie down on your mat and gaze up through the branches while receiving the sounds of singing bowls, drum, flute, chimes and voice alongside the natural soundtrack of the woodland. We'll finish slowly, with time to integrate the experience, share if you wish, enjoy a warm drink and gently return before walking back together. 🍁 What to bring Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, cushion and anything else you need to feel comfortable outdoors. Bring a camping cup, herbal tea will be privided September weather can be unpredictable, so please dress appropriately and bring plenty of warm layers. The session will only be cancelled in the event of heavy rain. 🍂 The intention This is an opportunity to spend some intentional time outside, feel the earth beneath you, notice the changing season and experience sound in a completely different environment.
