Autumn Equinox Reflections: Nature as Oracle

Register Here

Meditation and Intention-Setting with Dr. Nancy Boksenbaum


As the Autumn Equinox ushers in a season of balance, stillness, and inward reflection, join Dr. Nancy Boksenbaum for a contemplative gathering that invites nature to serve as guide and oracle. Rooted in the rhythms of the changing season, this experience encourages participants to slow down, listen deeply, and set intentions inspired by the quieter months ahead. An essential element of this reflection is taking the opportunity to let go what no longer serves us during the pivotal change of season.

The program will include a guided meditation with reflective prompts, a free-writing circle, and optional sharing and discussion. Participants are invited to bring a personal autumn remembrance from nature, such as a leaf, seed, or stone to anchor their reflections. All are welcome. No prior meditation or writing experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to connect with the natural world.
