SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

9:30am              Gate opens for arrivals

10:00am           Welcome Circle with Rev. Sharon in the Temple Room

10:30am           Tea Blending & Tasseomancy with Lacie in the Temple Room

Discover the magic of herbs and divination as we gather to honor the balance of the Fall Equinox. In this hands-on workshop, you will craft your own intentional tea blend using a variety of herbs, creating one to sip in class and one to take home.  As our teas steep, we’ll step into the art of tasseomancy, the ancient practice of reading tea leaves. With simple methods and supportive symbolism, we’ll explore how the shapes left behind in your cup can offer guidance, reflection, and balance for the season ahead. All supplies provided. Bring your curiosity and intention.

10:30am           Welcome Fall Mindful Nature Walk with Dennis Carpenter

Join Dennis in front of the main entrance to the barn for a leisurely meditative walk.  Our focus will be on connecting more deeply with the beauty and wonder of the emerging Fall season at Circle Sanctuary.  We will explore ways to find greater balance in our lives by strengthening our relationship with the rest of the natural world.  Be prepared for standing and walking in any weather conditions, including sturdy walking shoes and drinking water.   

10:30am           Family Programming in the Summer Kitchen with Rev. Florence & McKenzie in the Summer Kitchen

Apple cuisine and rock painting:  A lot of the magic of the apple harvest is in the good food they give us. We'll make some easy apple recipes to taste and share: Caramel apples, campfire-roasted apples, and applesauce. Adults are welcome to come and taste the kids' creations too! We'll also decorate rocks to use in our after-lunch ritual (and extras to take home if kids want to).

Noon                   Community Gratitude Lunch in the Temple Room

The Fall Equinox is a time to celebrate the harvest and enjoy the fruits of our labors. By sharing our noon meal we’ll honor our community and the abundance of the earth.  Join in a soup/sandwich lunch as we reflect on the abundance of the past season and express our gratitude for blessing received.  Please bring a sandwich to go along with a provided Autumn Vegetable Soup.  Please no peanut products.

1:30pm              Sacred Sun Equinox Magic with Rev. Selena Fox in the Temple Room

 Honor and align with the Sacred Sun at Equinox time with imagery, rites, chants, and meditations.  Explore inner dimensions of Light and Shadow for healing, balance, and well-being.  Develop skills in navigating liminality.
