5 Ways to Celebrate the Fall Equinox.

Thursday, September 22nd, is the Fall Equinox, symbolizing the beginning of autumn. The word equinox is latin for “equal night,” representing the equal length of day and night this time of year. 

Autumn is a season of balance between light and dark as well as a season of abundance. Here are some ways to honor these themes:

  1. Make a gratitude list or start a gratitude journal: this is a way to explore the abundance in our lives

  2. Host a harvest potluck: each guest can bring a dish with their favorite seasonal ingredients

  3. Practice sunrise yoga or meditation: acknowledging the sun in the morning aligns us with nature’s cycles

  4. Add fall decor to your home or create fall art: use the autumn harvest to add beauty to your home

  5. Spend time outside immersed in nature: go leaf peeping, apple picking, and pumpkin patching

Whether you're celebrating with a ritual, a feast, or simply by spending time outside, I hope you all have a beautiful season.
