Embers & Earth: An Evening of Grounding

Join in an evening of reflection, release, and reconnecting with the natural world before the next season. "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” — Henry David Thoreau As the earth prepares for winter, we are invited to slow down and release what we need not carry forward. Join us for an evening of guided reflection around the warmth of a campfire, and a grounding ritual designed to help us reconnect with ourselves and the natural world. Together we will create space to let go, restore balance, and prepare ourselves for the next season. Participants should dress for the weather and bring a folding lawn chair and blanket for their use.
