Join us as we celebrate the Fall Equinox and pass through the gateway into this time of autumn. We can harness the energy of the season to release, let go, and harvest the fruits of our labors. This work will be supported by our receiving the Grandmother Sacrament. It is a time of equal day and equal night, reflecting our own need for equanimity and harmony.

We will be honoring the shift from the long days of summer into the cooler winter nights by holding this ceremony outside during the day. If you haven’t sat with Grandmother outside in nature, it is a beautiful way to connect with the medicine and the medicinal world around us.

Sacred Mountain Waters is a beautiful venue to be honoring the seasons and the elements, with the streams, pond, sacred fire incredible amenities – we are so honored to gather in this location.
