As we move into mid-September and begin to experience what Albert Camus poetically observed: “Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is a flower,” let us take time to harvest the sacred and the subtle. Let us gather those experiences that encourage an embodiment of gratitude, love, and balance. Let us foster a spirit of grace and care so that we may release, or prayerfully contemplate releasing, those moments whose time has come to be let go of, allowing them to fall gently like leaves to the ground.

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the beginning of a new year of religious exploration and lean into the sacredness of Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox. Let us breathe into the balance of light and dark; let us prepare to gather and sow that which we experience as holy for winter germination.
