The Song of Summer. Autumn Equinox Ritual

September 19

12:00 PM – 6:00 PM

The Autumn Equinox is the time of harvest—not only the harvest from our gardens and fields, but also the harvest that has ripened within us.

Summer is coming to an end. Over these months we have lived through countless encounters, discoveries, joys, challenges, and small miracles. What has been your harvest? What strengths, gifts, and lessons are you ready to carry into the autumn?

During this ceremony, we will gather the resources of the summer, honor our experiences, and give thanks for all that this season has brought into our lives.

Our theme is: Summer Stories Through Song, Dance, and Art.

We invite everyone to share their story with the community through song, movement, music, poetry, painting, or any form of creative expression that speaks to your heart.

The program includes:  

• A ritual of gathering the summer harvest  

• A storytelling and creative sharing circle  

• A musical circle with Aliya Kamenshikova  

• Community practices and a gratitude ceremony

Come with your own Song of Summer—even if it is still quietly living in your heart.
