Celebrating Equinox - Christa Mackinnon and Itzhak Beery
Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Description
The Equinox is a bi-annual solar event that is celebrated and revered in cultures around the world. Traditionally it is a time of harvest, of reaping the fruits of spring and summer, of celebrating and connecting to earth, ancestors and spirit and of giving thanks.
As day and night are of equal length during Equinox, it also symbolises balance. It reminds us that in a world of duality we constantly have to strive to restore balance – between our light and our shadow sides, our feminine and our masculine parts, our desire for growth and our desire for stability, our individual needs and the needs of our communities, our taking from and giving back to the earth. In a time when imbalance is one of our great perils, restoring balance on an individual, communal and environmental level is a big part of Shamanic Healing.
In this 90min webinar, Shamanic teachers and authors Itzhak Beery and Christa Mackinnon (UK), bringing aspects from South American and North European Celtic traditions, invite you to experience ways to restore an inner balance, whilst ceremonially honour the Equinox.
Please bring your drum, rattle or any other instrument, a candle and your imagination,
The session will start at 3pm NYC (8pm UK). A recording will be available for all ticket holders.
