the Autumn Equinox is on 22nd September, a point in space halfway between the summer and winter solstices.  It’s a time of preparing for the coming winter, putting supplies aside (physically and mentally) and asking for help as the longer nights draw in. Many Spiritual traditions give thanks for the harvest and celebrate this time of plenty, we will be celebrating the harvest within our own life as well as natures harvest and asking how to prepare for the coming season. For part of the day we will working with the spirits of nature in Vauxhall Park.
