Begins September 21st, 2024

Receive & Release  

Collaborate with the energy of Autumn to create an environment for contemplation, transformation, and integration - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and creatively.

Cultivate a sacred space to receive the gifts and the lessons you’ve been cultivating and collecting this year, and begin to release that which is falling off.

Get grounded, receptive, and generative through this powerful, in depth, muse-filled ritual. Move your body and your breath in ways that support your life, and integrate an inspired, intentional movement into your day-to-day living through this seasonal ceremony.

Autumn Equinox / Mabon is a celebration of the second harvest.

Invite nourishment from both darkness and light into your body, heart, mind, spirit. Feed your creative spark, and bless that which is dissolving. 

Build a sanctuary for decay 

Cast a spell for letting go

Developing a relationship with the rhythms and cycles of the natural world helps us cultivate a meaningful relationship with ourselves and our environment. The seasons teach us to constantly and continuously adapt. As we attune to the earth, we become more conscious of how we treat ourselves, how we treat others, and how we impact the land through our actions.

The land is golden and giving as it begins to dry up and to let life go. The season is shifting, and with it the energy within and around. The days are noticeably shorter. Fall offers a softening.

There are things we need to surrender. What we’ve grown needs to be gathered. What hasn’t grown can be grieved and released into whatever comes next. It’s time to cook, to organize, and to prepare for our journey to the underworld. 

Ritualize the season

Gratitude & Grief

A Somatic Ceremony invites your body to remember that it is a part of an ecosystem. 

Ritual helps us commit and recommit to what we care about, release stress, receive strength, break down what needs to be repurposed, initiate or reignite a journey of transformation, and dismantle patterns that keep us stuck. Engage your whole being in this process and it will support you in making healthier choices for yourself, for your relationships with others, and for the earth.

When we move our bodies with the rhythm of the season, and invite the changing season into the body (through activities, food, practices, contemplation, observation, conversation, imagination, movement, and stories) we become more present, we are more able to make the changes that we want, and we connect more deeply to the natural world. We become stewards of the land. This process is transformative, empowering, and supportive.

This Somatic Ceremony invites you to embody receptivity from within, to gather what’s ripe and ready in your life and to cook something nourishing that you share with the world around you, and to release that which is falling off and add it to your compost pile.

Fall Equinox initiates a new season

This time of year calls for both the strength of harvest and the humility of surrendering that which no longer belongs in our lives.

The nights are lengthening, darkness whispers an incantation that pulls the energy down and in, the days are shorter, and sunlight is softer. Life’s power slows down, and we’re moving toward death.

With the cyclical, recursive nature of existence, we’re reminded that life and death are never separate, that light and shadow are intertwined, that love and grief are nestled within one another. 

Fall Equinox is a moment of balance and a tipping point.

Light & dark, day & night, gratitude & grief, love & lament are equal, but only for a moment, as the Equinox sends ua toward the growing shadow. We are moving toward the underworld, toward disintegration and reintegration, toward the darkest time of the year.

Through contemplative ritual practices of movement and meditation, we will turn every breath into a meaningful process of releasing and gathering, harvesting and composting, and allowing the shift in the season to help us make changes in ourselves and in our lives.

This is the season of the WITCH

An invitation to embody MATURITY

The land is BOTH giving and taking. 

The EARTH begins her striptease

Still FULL she empties her wholeness 

Triumph of HARVEST and humility of letting go

Sunlight surrenders to the DARK

Dryness and deliciousness DANCE

LIFE & DEATH weave a story of existence

Seasonal Somatic Ceremonies are journeys that integrate the personal and the planet, the self and society, the sacred and the secular, the natural and the cultural, where you are in your life, where you’re coming from, and where you want to go.

Join us for an intentional, immersive experience in the energy of Autumn!

with asana (yoga poses), pranayama (breathwork), meditation, contemplation, mantra (sacred sounds and chants), mudra (hand gestures), and magic! 

In this Somatic Ceremony we will turn toward the teachings of Earth in Fall, and bring symbols, myths and metaphors inspired by the season into the body through breath and movement.

This ceremony is made of eight sections. You can take your time with it, or do it all at once. It is created to support you, and crafted to fit the needs of a busy life, without sacrificing depth. 

Whether you take a few hours to move through the whole process, or take your time with this seasonal ceremony and spread it over a few days or even weeks, this journey will nourish your soul and enliven your soma. 

What you’ll get:

No one will be turned away for lack of funding. Please contact us if you can’t afford it right now. We got you. 

Access begins September 21st, 2024 and it does not expire once purchased.

Somatic Ceremonies are created by Hagar Harpak as a weaving of storytelling, movement, breath, and reflection, to support bodies, hearts, minds, and creativity in tuning into the changing season, receiving the gifts and the wisdom of nature’s cycles, and living in deep relationship with soma, soul and soil.
