Harvest & Rot: A Spiral for the Autumn Equinox

Event Overview

It’s the Autumn Equinox here in the Southern Hemisphere.

Where the day and night sit in a perfect, precarious balance….. for just a moment…before we start the long wander into the dark.

The changing of the season is a our blunt reminder from this living Earth that we are part of cycles and rhythms far bigger than we can understand, and way more important and mysterious than the frenetic daily doingdoingdoingdoing that our modern context demands of us.

Can we pause for a teeny moment to dwell here?

Autumn is the season of ripening

and shedding

the season of honesty

and discernment

and strangeness

and the delight of being nourished by something plump and juicy

it’s the relief of the cooling air

and the grief of the fading light

Autumn is shadows

Autumn is golden things

Autumn is the dying of that which no longer serves the tree

Autumn is harvest and rot

The Work That Reconnects offers us ways to hold and share all this. Join us for a spiral gathering as we:

• Pause with the season at its precious balancing point
• Give thanks for the wild harvests of the last few months (even the ones we didn’t ask for)
• Make space for our gratitude, our grief, our hopes, our fears
• Seeing the time of collapse we’re in with new eyes
• Wonder what tiny, stubborn, strange or ugly next step is asking to be taken

Bring the parts of yourself that feel a bit brittle, or heavy, or just f**ing sick and tired of pretending everything is fine.

Everything is not fine

We want the weary you, the honest you, the “I’m-not-ready-for-winter” you.

We meet on Zoom a few days before the Equinox
