A threshold between what has been and what is becoming.
The seasons change whether we mark them or not.
But there is something powerful about stopping long enough to notice the turning.
The Fall Equinox is a moment of balance — when light and darkness meet before we begin our gradual movement into the quieter, darker half of the year.
The Turning is a 2.5-hour guided seasonal experience for women who feel a shift happening in their own lives and want to consciously mark it.
Together, we'll create space to reflect on what this season has brought, release what no longer belongs with you and turn toward what comes next.
This isn't simply a yoga class, a sound bath or an evening in nature.
It is a complete journey through transition — intentionally designed to take you from reflection to release, from release to renewal and from vision to action.
Seven chapters. One intentional journey.
01 — CROSSING
Leave the everyday behind and enter the circle.
We'll create a clear threshold between the life you arrived from and the experience you're stepping into.
02 — GATHER
Create our community altar and explore the meaning of the Fall Equinox and the harvest of the season.
What have you gathered? What has this season given you?
03 — BALANCE
Turn inward and reflect on the light and dark in your life.
What deserves to be acknowledged? What are you ready to see more clearly?
04 — RELEASE
Take part in a symbolic release ritual and consciously set down something you no longer want to carry into the season ahead.
05 — GROUND
Move from reflection into the body with a grounding yoga practice led by Makayla.
A chance to reconnect with yourself physically and settle into the present moment.
06 — ENTER
Sink into deep rest with Jennifer's immersive sound bath.
Let the experience settle. Let your body receive. Let there be nothing to figure out for a while.
07 — TURN
Call your energy back.
Envision the season ahead, identify what you want to nurture and choose one meaningful physical step that will begin moving your vision into reality.
Because you don't need the whole map.
You need a direction — and the courage to take the first step.
Why The Turning?
Sometimes you can feel that something is changing before you can explain exactly what it is.
A chapter is closing.
Something no longer fits.
A new season is calling.
You know you're ready to move forward — even if you can't yet see the entire path.
The Fall Equinox gives us a natural moment to stop and acknowledge that change.
The Turning gives you a vessel for it.
A place to consciously mark what is ending, honor what you've gathered, release what you're ready to leave behind and choose what you want to carry forward.
You won't leave with inspiration alone.
You'll leave with tools.
You'll take home:
Supportive affirmation cards to return to throughout the coming season
A tangible next step toward the vision you create
A release ritual you can use whenever you need to set a weight down
A personal symbol of your power — a physical reminder of your strength and what you're capable of
And hopefully, you'll leave feeling:
Lighter.
Renewed.
Free to move forward.
Ready for what's next.
Even if you don't have the whole path figured out yet.
Is The Turning for you?
This experience may speak to you if:
You feel connected to nature, seasons and cycles
You notice seasonal changes affecting you emotionally, physically or energetically
You're navigating a transition or closing a chapter
You feel ready for a fresh start
You're craving a meaningful way to mark the changing season
You're drawn to ritual, symbolism and intentional gatherings
You're comfortable exploring spiritual, mystical or intuitive practices
You want to move forward but don't have the whole path figured out yet
You don't need previous experience with yoga, meditation, ritual or any spiritual practice.
Come exactly as you are.
Meet your guides
One cannot always take themselves somewhere they have never been. Sometimes we need guides.
Together, we hold the journey so you don't have to figure out how to take yourself there.
