Growing Gaia Gathering - Shadows and Gratitude

Join us for a cozy evening of reflection, journaling, and gentle conversation as we explore the space between Samhain and Thanksgiving — where shadow meets gratitude.
Through grounding meditation, a short talk on shadow work, and guided prompts, we’ll explore how to access our shadow selves and uncover the wisdom they hold. Together we’ll learn to thank the darker parts of ourselves for the lessons and growth they bring.
You’ll also have the chance to create your own mini “Book of Shadow & Gratitude” — a simple, heartfelt journal to carry your reflections home.
What to Expect:
🕯 Guided grounding exercise
🌑 Talk on the nature of the shadow and how to work with it
📖 Journaling with provided prompts and notecards

What to Bring:

• A journal if you’d like (we’ll provide small ones to personalize)
• Pen or pencil
• An open heart and comfortable layers

Location:
🌿 Root Awakening — 180 Harding St, Worcester

Parking available on-site and nearby

Come as you are — no experience needed, just curiosity and presence.

Let’s gather in community, reflect on the year’s lessons, and root ourselves in gratitude as we move toward winter’s stillness.
