Overview

When the earth begins to let go, so do we. Autumn is not a season of loss — it is a season of honest release.

When the earth begins to let go, so do we.

Autumn is not a season of loss — it is a season of honest release. The leaves fall not because they have failed, but because their work is complete. This Autumn Equinox, you are invited into a full-day retreat to soften, slow, and consciously shed what is no longer meant to walk with you into the darker months. This is a day of grounding, ritual, and embodied presence - held on the land, in circle, with women who understand that becoming begins with letting go.


This Day Is a Threshold


The Autumn Equinox marks a moment of balance — equal light and dark — before the descent inward begins.

This retreat is designed as a rite of passage:

from holding to releasing

from effort to acceptance

from external noise to inner truth

You will be guided gently, deliberately, and with care. Nothing will be forced. Nothing will be rushed.


The Autumn Rite: Air-Dry Clay Ceremony


At the heart of this day is a somatic clay ritual. Clay invites the body to speak where words fall short. It allows emotion, memory, and intention to move through the hands and into form. You will be guided to:

work intuitively with air-dry clay

shape, press, or imprint what is ready to be released

honour endings without needing to explain them


This is not about creating something “beautiful.” It is about creating something true. Your clay piece becomes a witness — a physical marker of what you chose to lay down.


What the Day Includes


Throughout the day, you will be held in a carefully woven flow of ritual, reflection, and rest. You can expect:

Opening grounding and seasonal attunement

Guided reflection and journaling

Air-dry clay ritual and embodied creative practice

Time in nature on the land at Holbrook Farm

Gentle ritual to honour release and completion

A nourishing shared lunch

Closing circle to integrate and anchor the work


There is spaciousness woven throughout — time to breathe, to feel, and to simply be.


Who This Retreat Is For

This day is for you if:

you feel the quiet pull to slow down

you are ready to release patterns, roles, or identities that no longer fit

you crave depth over productivity

you value ritual, embodiment, and seasonal living

you want to be held — without being fixed

You do not need to arrive with clarity. You only need to arrive willing.


This Is Not For You If

This retreat may not be aligned if you are seeking:

a high-energy, social experience

constant guidance or reassurance

a “quick breakthrough” or surface-level healing

to bypass discomfort rather than meet it gently

This is a day of honesty, not performance.


The Setting: Holbrook Farm

Nestled in nature, Holbrook Farm offers a grounded, earthy container that mirrors the essence of Autumn itself. The land supports:

nervous system settling

deep presence

connection to the natural rhythms of life


This is not a studio retreat. It is a land-held experience.


Investment $444 per person

Your investment includes:

full-day guided retreat (9:30am – 4:30pm)

all ritual materials (including clay)

facilitation and space-holding

nourishing shared lunch

an intimate, intentionally held group

Places are limited to maintain the integrity of the circle.


A Final Note

Autumn asks us to trust the wisdom of release.

To stop gripping.

To stop carrying what is no longer ours.

To place it gently back into the earth.


If you feel the quiet yes in your body — this day is for you.
