Autumn Equinox Celebration

In Druidry it is called Alban Elfed, and in other Northern traditions it is called Mabon. In Christianity it is close to Michaelmas (the 29th), which celebrates St Michael who is known for slaying the dragon. It is also a harvest celebration.

We will be celebrating all of these!

We'll have a ceremony at 11a and then a potluck luncheon immediately following. We also welcome you to walk the trails afterwards and enjoy the beauty of the Sanctuary!

Our ceremonies are participatory, so please come ready to play a role in it. It's not about putting on a show, but connecting to the spirit of the ritual, and coming together in celebration. It is family friendly and always a beautiful time sharing in community!

This event is free, but donations are gladly welcomed. We ask that you kindly RSVP by September 18th so we can plan accordingly. (If you are bringing children, it will also be helpful if you let me know.)

Blessings and love to each of you...
