Harmonise ~ An Equinox Celebration With Helen Olivia.
Saturday 21st September 2024
Autumn equinox marks an auspicious time to listen to the call of nature with an intentional pause as we approach the threshold of light and dark becoming equal in harmonious balance.
The seasonal shift creates a natural longing to bring about more groundedness and balance from the warmth of the long summer days and nights. A desire to bring about more calm and reconnection to more steadying practices as Earth leads us to restoring equilibrium in mind, body and spirit.
The air carries a sense of nature suspending time momentarily as we shift to the more inward seasons. This offers a powerful time for meaningful work to reflect on how you’ve grown since the spring equinox, or what your spirit needs to feel balanced and aligned moving into autumn.
Join Helen Olivia in a practice to honour the light and the dark, balancing Yin and Yang, with gentle flow, Yin, reflection time, meditation, and energy practices, promoting both resilience and surrender. The practice will focus on the Earth Element of 5 element theory tapping into the energy lines of the stomach and spleen, which when out of balance, hold the emotions of worry and anxiety, when in balance, we feel abundant, content, peaceful and grounded in mind and body.
Vibe: Spacious, gentle, reconnecting, balancing, earthy.
Essential oils will be used and seasonal crystal infused ‘pure-fume’ rollers will be available to purchase on the day.
