The Autumn Equinox marks a time of balance, when the sun rises and sets exactly twelve hours apart, and the Earth prepares for the transition into the darker half of the year. As the harvest season unfolds, we acknowledge the wisdom of the season’s change and the richness it brings. Nature’s cycles offer a moment to reflect on our own growth and the transitions in our lives. Join us for our 2025 Autumn Equinox celebration, led by Nicola & Jason from The Way of the Buzzard, as we gather to celebrate the balance of light and dark. This is a time to connect with the rhythms of nature, reflect on the journey so far, and revel in the abundance and beauty of the season. Together, we’ll share moments of connection, reflection, and gratitude, as well as singing and drumming in community to immerse in the energy of the equinox and the wisdom of autumn. Let us come together to appreciate the harmony of the season and the blessings it brings. - Immerse in the Autumn Equinox energies of balance and abundance - Connect with nature’s rhythms, and align with the natural world’s emergence - Tap into an ancient way of being with like-minded people to tune into your spiritual guidance Who should attend?

For the past twenty years, we have been individually seeking a spiritual connection that is aligned with our core beliefs and values. This search led us to discover shamanism, and ultimately to each other. The Way of the Buzzard became our voice in the World. We have taught thousands of people the power of the shamanic toolkit and nature connection. We support others on their healing journey to find their purpose and their path through our online membership community ‘The Mystery School’, online courses, retreats, monthly shamanic journey circles, nature connection films and sacred tools. When we aren’t working, we can both be found roaming the local crags, coast, woodlands and meadows in our locale. Our passion is anything connected to nature and the mysteries of the Earth.”
