This program is an invitation to say “yes” to the Earth's natural bend toward darkness this Autumn.

It’s a calling to say “yes” to your body’s need for deep rest and to your soul’s need for communion with whatever lies in the dark beyond.

The process is simple: you'll spend four subsequent Sundays in alignment with the rhythms of the season and surrender to darkness earlier than you normally would.

Opening up to the darkness of these shorter days has layers of benefits, such as:
 

• More restfulness. There is overwhelming evidence that shows that our penchant for electric light at night is mucking up our sleep patterns and leading to greater anxiety and depression.

• More alignment. As you align with the natural rhythms of day and night you come into alignment with the larger rhythms of your life and the Earth.

• More soul. Just on the other side of your brightly lit, daily life, lies your soul - guiding you and yearning for its expression in your life. As we place our bodies into a liminal, candlelit space, the soul's mystery can enter in.

There will be a gradual drawing down, and each Sunday morning you will receive an email with:

1) Suggestions for when to release your electric lighting
2) How you can set yourself up for success and get the most out of this practice
3) One question for you to anchor into for the week and, if you’d like, journal about
4) A piece of poetry or inspired writing to conjure up your soulful wisdom

This is a free, supportive, guided descent into something more.

We begin Sunday, November 30th.
