Wheel of the Year Ceremony
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29: Fall Equinox Mabon Ceremony
Celebrate the Fall Equinox and Pagan Holiday of Mabon at Grandmother Cherry Sanctuary.
Drop into liminal space with Earth-based spiritual rhythms for an afternoon of connection, release, and welcoming the season of creativity, craft, and conjure. We will create a woodland altar together, visit with with spirits and beings of the land, sing and vocal tone together, and gather for circle around a fire for Mabon* divination spellwork.
Tap into personal and cultural root healing work in ceremony and community. We will build relationship with elemental magic and practices to support our individual and collective healing as stewards of weaving a more just, liberated, and heart-centered world.
Our Fall Equinox “Wheel of the Year” gathering takes place outside (under the trees or on the covered pavilion depending on weather) at Grandmother Cherry Sanctuary – an herbal healing sanctuary in the forest.
*The celebration of Mabon, held during the Fall Equinox is actually the week prior and due to scheduling conflicts, we are celebrating a week later.
Details
The EmpowR Transformation “Wheel of the Year” Ceremony series celebrates living in rhythm with the cycles of Nature (and our bodies which are a part of nature). We practice Pagan Earth-based spirituality in community and welcome people from any spiritual or cultural background. Our ceremonies are simple and invite anyone interested in connecting with Earth-based spiritual practices to remember our land-based roots before the harms of colonization severed our relationships with land and each other. We draw from the Celtic Wheel of the Year and Norse mythology as that is the ancestry of our facilitators and welcome all Earth-based spiritual practices and traditions in our cocreative space.

All ages are welcome who are interested in participating in the ceremony intentions. Kids 12 and under are free. Please send a message to let us know the ages of kids attending so we can prepare. Please do a separate registration for each person over 12.
