## 🍂 Why Celebrate the Equinox at Villers Abbey?

This is a journey to a place where time, nature, and spirit meet. 🌿
On the Autumn Equinox, we will connect with the powerful energy of Villers-la-Ville, a place chosen for its unique magic. ✨

Imagine Gothic walls open to the sky ☁️⛪, ancient columns that feel like pillars between worlds 🌍, and the silent energy of 900 years of monastic life soaked into every stone 🕯️.
This isn’t just a ruin; it’s a portal. 🚪
A place to honor the perfect balance between light and shadow within ourselves 💫.

We’ll start by exploring the most potent spaces of the Abbey—the roofless main church, the silent cloister, the medicinal gardens 🌿.
After a community picnic 🧺, we will transition to the second part of our journey: a conscious hike into the deep, surrounding forest 🌳.
There, in an intimate clearing, we will hold our Drum Ritual 🥁.

We’ll connect with the elements—the water of the streams 💧, the rich autumn earth 🍁, and the crisp air 🍃—to release what no longer serves us and welcome the harvest season with renewed power and clarity 🌾.
