Yesterday we gathered together with a beautiful group around the fire and amongst the trees here at the cabin to celebrate the autumn equinox. The official first day of autumn here in the southern hemisphere were we experience equal amounts of day and night, light and dark, a beautiful balance of both, and we also explored the notion that according to Chinese mythology we are also currently in an eclipse portal - a period where karmic shifts and unexpected events begin to unfold.
Together we sat in ritual around the fire and took a moment to pause and intentionally enter this new season through journalling, an art therapy experience and a movement journey, with therapists @sarahfromthecosmos and @zen.zo____
We are in a time of endings and new beginnings, where we may experience events that seem out of our control. We are in a time that requires stillness, rest and deep surrender. A space where you can allow for changes to unfold without resistance.
This goes nicely with the change in season. A change in the season is a wonderful time to take the opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect and as the changes in the natural world occur around us it is nice to take the time to consider any internal or external changes taking place for you also. In the cycle of birth, life death and rebirth autumn would symbolise death. During this phase of the cycle so much transformation can occur making way for the new, the rebirth.
Like the leaves that change colour and fall this is a time to acknowledge any changes and enjoy the opportunity to let go of, and release, anything that no longer serves us as we prepare to slow down, unwind, turn inwards and welcome in the darkness of winter that is soon to come. 🤎🍂
The cosmos bathroom amongst the bamboo 🌱
Did you know the cabin also offers a bathroom with a bath? Perfect for a relaxing soak before or after a massage, for a herbal soak treatment, or to cleanse and clear away emotions and feelings after a deep healing session. We love the thought that our clients can have this extra touch of relaxation added to their session.
The Cosmos Cabin has been privileged many times over in holding such special mother’s blessings. This space is so perfect for them. Are you looking for a space for a mother’s or baby blessing?
In fact the cabin is a wonderful space for holding many different events, workshops, celebrations, end of year gatherings. Are you needing a space? We would love to hear from you.
Misty mornings by the cosmos fire ✨
Sunset time on the farm ✨
Did you know The Cosmos Cabin is on @purplepearfarm, a biodynamic permaculture farm 🌿if you look closely, you’ll see Molly Cow and her new calf, Tukerra - meaning cold/winter winds in native Wonnarua language, born in the crazy winds a few weeks ago.
The animals add such a special energy to this land.
