Rewilding the Soul: Autumn Equinox Gathering and Celebration (Online)

7:00-8:30 pm ET

with special guest Satigata

All are welcome to celebrate the Autumn Equinox with us! If you are registered for the Rewilding the Soul series, you do not need to register separately for the Equinox and Solstice events.

What does it mean to be human in these times, when the sky, wind, air, rivers, oceans, soil, rains, trees, plants and animals seem to be asking us to remember? When our bodies are asking?

Join the ecodharma sangha of Natural Dharma Fellowship for an online Autumn Equinox Celebration, as we celebrate the sun’s bi-annual crossing of the celestial equator. Our celebration will include reflections from the teachers, guided meditation, live music, poetry, ritual and celebration of the brilliance and impermanence that the season of autumn embodies.

Participants are encouraged to come to this gathering ready to construct an “autumn altar” as part of our online ritual practice. The wild altar might include plants, photos, stones, shells and other reminders of nature’s bounty. Also consider having a candle, fragrant plant (local to your area) and incense (or an essential oil with diffuser).

About Satigatha: Blending traditional Buddhist chants with acoustic guitars, hand drums, and singing bowls and bells, Satigata emerged as an exploration of contemplative music at the crossroads of Buddhist practice, chanting, and the accessibility of acoustic American folk-rock music. Satigata plays regularly throughout the Boston/Cambridge area and their live events are unique, ranging from contemplative music and chanting events to concerts. Through their songwriting and live events, Satigata’s aim is to inspire the spirit of meditation, well-being, compassion and freedom through music and a distinctive community experience.

PROGRAM COST

It is Natural Dharma Fellowship’s aspiration that no one be turned away from our teachings because they are unable to pay the full price. In order make our offerings affordable for all who wish to attend, we suggest a three-level fee structure:

• May All Beings Benefit! – supporting access for all and assisting with the care and maintenance of Wonderwell Mountain Refuge
• A Middle Way – covering the base cost
• Held in Sangha Loving-kindness – offering ease when financial resources are limiting

Our pricing options are based primarily on the length and type of an event and are intended to give you an idea of the costs involved. The amounts listed are suggestions. You may write in any amount that fits your financial situation. Any amount offered above the Middle Way level will be considered a tax-deductible donation and will be acknowledged as such in writing.
