Saturday, September 22 -- Fall Equinox -- Polish Club of San Francisco, 3040 22nd St, San Francisco, California 94110
Come celebrate the Fall Equinox and Harvest with San Francisco Reclaiming! Join us for our Fall Equinox Healing Potluck Ritual - a Lovely and Powerful day of Healing, Balancing, Connection and Feasting with Beloved Community!
When: Saturday, September 22nd (2-6pm)
Where: The Polish Club Inc. of San Francisco at 3040 22nd St, San Francisco, CA 94110 [PLEASE NOTE: THIS LOCATION IS ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND PERSONS WHO USE A WHEELCHAIR. SOME PARKING SPACES WILL BE RESERVED FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ON A FIRST-COME BASIS.]
Cost: This is a fundraiser for both SF Reclaiming and for the upcoming 2019 Dandelion Gathering (happening here in the Bay Area!). There is a $10-25 sliding scale suggested donation (with children under 12 free and no one turned away for lack of funds.)
For starters, we are planning optional teach-ins with members of our community on various topics (e.g., non-violent direct action training and diversity awareness training). We will then move fluidly through building a Community Altar together and both Community and Personal Workings around Harvest themes and Weaving a Spell of Community Solidarity! The day will culminate with the Blessing of our Food and the Sacred Feast!
Please bring (and note) the following:
• Altar items (photos of the mighty/beloved dead, sacred items you want blessed, flowers, art, etc.)
• Food and Non-alcoholic Drinks to share (An important note regarding food: Plant-based food is highly encouraged but all offerings of food are welcomed. Please label your food and ingredients out of consideration for community members with allergies/sensitivities or who don't eat animal products. We will provide tape/labels to affix to your dish in case forgotten.)
• This is a clean and sober event. No alcohol/drugs are permitted.
• An Open Heart
Please email heidi.ocean.marian@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer or help with cleanup or setup.
Blessings of Balance to All & See You at the Harvest Feast!

Saturday September 22 -- Fall Equinox -- Subud Hall, Sebastopol, CA
Gather with us in North Bay Reclaiming to celebrate Fall Equinox. This is the time of year when the length of day and night are perfectly balanced before tipping into the darkening season. Often a time of celebrating harvest, we prepare for the nights to come.
INTENTION:
"...Reflecting on the Gifts that Bring Us Balance."
DATE: SATURDAY, September 22th 2018
TIME: Doors open 3:30pm, ritual begins 4:00pm
LOCATION: Subud Hall, 234 Hutchins Ave, Sebastopol, CA
BRING: Bring two things to this next ritual. One an alter item of a gifts that you received in your life that changed and/or altered your path. (You will take this home at the end). Two a land offering that you can place into a cauldron and will not be receiving back. An offering for the land. This may be soil, fertilizer, a beautiful stone you found on the earth, or something natural of the earth that you would like to give away to the earth as a gift for the blessings you have received in being alive.
We will be asking for donations to help us cover our expenses for the event, a sliding scale of $13 to $30.
No one turned away for lack of funds.
Newbies are welcome!!!
All of our rituals are clean and sober spaces.
This ritual is child friendly, however the meditation is oriented toward adults and so may be a little slow for children, so you may want to bring coloring items for them, or some cusions so that they can have a space to relax and be self-entertained.
