As we approach the Autumn Equinox, the hedgerows ripen. Inky blackberries, elderberries, and the deepening crimson of hawthorn berries mark the turning of the season, heralding the darker half of the year.
Beyond its thorny exterior, Hawthorn has long been cherished as a tree of the heart, offering steadiness, solace, and strength through life's joys and sorrows. Across traditions, it has been revered for its ability to support not only the physical heart but also our emotional core. As the seat of our deepest feelings, the heart often carries the weight of grief and longing, as well as love and joy.
"With their seasons of flower and berry, Hawthorn can touch within us the tender place of the lover we long for or the grandfather we never had." — Nathaniel Hughes
At this threshold of the Equinox, we'll embrace Hawthorn's heart medicine through a warming herbal decoction, creating rich ground to receive the restorative power of sound.
Held in the resonance of Crystal Alchemy Bowls, we'll allow ourselves to steep in Hawthorn's healing and wholing presence. Following this soul-nourishing journey, you're invited to share your experiences, fostering a space of connection, reflection, and gentle integration.
