Sacred Cycles: Mabon Ritual · The Autumn Equinox

Service Description

Sacred Cycles is a series of seasonal gatherings marking the turning points of the year. Rooted in the Pagan Wheel of the Year, the phases of the moon and the rhythms of the natural world, these evenings invite you to slow down, listen and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. **Mabon · The Autumn Equinox** At the autumn equinox, day and night are almost equal in length. The hedgerows are heavy with berries, the first leaves are turning and the light goes earlier than I expect it to. I love this brief pause in the year, when I can still feel a little of summer’s warmth and sense autumn drawing me in. At Mabon, we’ll take stock of what the lighter months have given us and feel into what we want to carry forward. I keep coming back to how balance feels in the body. Even when we think we’re still, there’s a little sway, a shift of weight, a response to what’s changing around us. We’ll explore that through movement, then give ourselves time to settle. What feels worth holding close as the nights get longer? Where could we ease our grip a little? **Blind in Mystery** We rarely know what a threshold will ask of us until we arrive inside it. I shape the practices and rituals in the days before we meet, listening to what’s happening in the season and on the land, and leaving room for what we bring into the circle together. You’re welcome to come as you are and see what unfolds. **What Awaits You** → **Seasonal Rituals & Reflection** We’ll mark the equinox through seasonal ritual and gather around a Mabon altar. If you’d like to add something, bring a fallen leaf, an apple, a conker or a small object that holds a memory from the lighter months. Bringing an offering is entirely optional. → **Yoga, Movement & Embodiment** Gentle movement and breath to explore how we find steadiness as we shift, with time to come down to the ground and rest. → **Stillness & Journalling** Time to write and reflect on what has nourished you and what you’d like to make space for this autumn. → **Community in Circle** A space to be met as you are, in the company of other women. You’re welcome to share or simply listen. **Practical Details** → **When** Friday 24 September 2027, 7pm to 9pm → **Where** Jala Yoga Studio, Brancaster, North Norfolk → **Price** £25 Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket.
