About This Event

Join Helen for this hour long reflective session to explore an ecotherapeutic approach to wellness. The Autumn Equinox is a time of balance. As Summer gives way to Autumn, the Equinox marks the point of equal hours of daylight and darkness. After this date the nights are longer than the days and we move into the darker months of the year. The Autumn Equinox is a key point on the Wheel of the Year, a natural calendar which can help us stay connected to the natural world, the seasons, and ourselves. Together we will practice grounding, breath meditation and a seasonal guided visualisation to help you reset, reflect and connect.

During this session we will start with some gentle breathing exercises and a body scan to bring the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation. I will then use my voice to guide you through an imaginary landscape and experiences designed to help you explore your subconscious world and innermost ideas and resources. After the visualisation/meditation there will be time for you to draw or journal as you wish to capture what came up for you. To finish we will invite each other to share some of their experience, as we feel comfortable. There is no obligation to speak or share anything, you can simply listen and relax.
