Autumn Equinox
For our final gathering of the seasonal cycle, we welcome the autumn equinox — a moment of balance, change and turning inward. Together, we’ll make two little clay boxes: one to treasure what nourishes us, and one to hold what we’re ready to release. A gentle evening of creativity, reflection and making together.
