The Heartwood Circle
“A welcoming circle of kindred spirits to share The Wisdom of The Seasons.”
The Wisdom of Autumn
Sit with us by the welcoming fire to share what you hold most dear in your heart, share what you have learned from the great teachers: Earth, Water and Sky and the Minstrels of the Four Winds; share what you have learned from the Evergreen Elders: Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock and Cedar; share what you have learned from our Brothers and Sisters who circle this way with us: Wolf and Mule Deer, Spirit Bear and Salmon, Raven and Great Horned Owl.
Sit with us by the welcoming fire, sit with us to share the Wisdom of the Seasons for it is the stories we share that give our lives meaning and purpose!
Next online gathering: Autumn Equinox, Saturday, September 20th at 2PM PST.
The Wisdom of Autumn is found in The Inward Turning of Light.
In earth based traditions, the Fall Equinox marks the second harvest of Autumn, the Fruit Harvest. All that we have planted in Spring has now come to fruition. It is a time to reflect on what we have sown and what we have reaped.
Six weeks later, we celebrate the third and last harvest of Autumn, the festival of Samhain. It is a time for celebration and giving thanks for the bounty of Mother Earth, but it also marks a time to prepare for the Winter months that soon will be here.
In this 90 minute online workshop we will embrace the Wisdom of Autumn, The Inward Turning of Light. We will reflect on the goals and objectives we planted in Spring and the harvest we now reap. We will also reflect on what Nature tells us about preparing for the winter months ahead.
In a guided visualization we will see ourselves under a dark and starry night on the Eve of Samhain when the veil is thinnest between the two worlds, this temporal world and the world that is timeless. We will see ourselves gathered round a huge bonfire with all our faces burning bright, burning with thankfulness for the bounty in our lives. Yet, as the bonfire of Samhain wanes, we will be mindful of the long, dark Winter months ahead and the preparations we must make.

“Taking part in a workshop with Barry is a beautiful process of invoking the imagination and then exchanging/sharing experiences with everyone taking part. An opportunity to speak, to be heard, and to grow through the always-loving feedback!” Louisa Sophia
