The Equinox Has Just Passed
Fall Equinox. It’s a moment when day and night stand in equal measure. A symbolic threshold, with the harvest behind us and the long winter ahead starting to signal it’s around the corner. This season calls for balance and transition in the most natural and ancient ways.
The Challenges of Fall
The fourth quarter of the year often brings change: students settling back into school, work intensifying, the light fading earlier each day. Shorter days can stir anxiety, while the approach of the holidays may highlight loneliness, loss, or the stress of family dynamics.
Even joyful gatherings can feel draining when your nervous system is already stretched thin. To say nothing of the extra stressors involved in creating the magic and making it happen.

A Natural Time for Reflection
This season also invites reflection. How has the year unfolded so far? Where do I need rest, steadiness, or clarity? What do I want to shift before the year closes?
