AMBER JANE HEALING PRESENTS:
THE 3RD ANNUAL AUTUMN EQUINOX
Sunday, September 20th, 2026
A CEREMONIAL EVENT
The wheel is turning.
We have spiraled outward through spring and summer.
We have expanded, created, gathered, and experienced the fullness of the season. Now autumn arrives, and the movement begins to turn inward.
The Autumn Equinox is the point of balance between light and darkness. A time of harvest, a time of sorting, reflecting, and recentering.
The trees show us the way. They begin releasing what they no longer need, returning their leaves to the earth and preparing to move inward for the season ahead.
This is the way of life: walking the spiral out, and in again.

DATE: Sunday, September 20th, 2026
TIME: TIME: 12–3 PM Ceremony, with a community social to follow
LOCATION: Yoga Refuge, NW Portland

COMMUNITY SINGING

CLOSING THE CIRCLE-COMMUNITY SOCIAL
This is a participatory ceremony. You won't simply sit and observe.
You'll enter the circle-meeting the elements, your own intention, and the energy of the community gathered around you.
RELEASE • RETURN • RECEIVE • CHOOSE
The ceremony moves through four simple movements.
RELEASE
What is complete? What are you no longer willing to carry?
RETURN
What vitality becomes available when you retrieve it, calling it home?
RECEIVE
What wants to come into balance? What do you want to nourish during the darker season?
CHOOSE
What quality, prayer, or intention do you choose to carry forward?
The point isn't to leave something behind simply because autumn tells you to.
It is an invitation to decide what has earned the right to continue walking beside you and what has not.
THIS GATHERING IS FOR YOU IF…
You feel called to honor the turning points of the solar year.
You value sacred space and the medicine of ritual, held with care.
You want a tangible way to mark a transition in your life.
You feel drawn to reflection, release, gratitude, and renewal.
You know the particular power that becomes possible when people gather in true ceremony.
You've been desiring a deeper connection to ritual, spirit, and community.
Come if you're yearning for meaningful ritual and community.
ALL PEOPLE WELCOME.
“The gift you carry is the presence you bring to the circles you gather. And a willingness to say yes to spirit-this inspires me. ”
YOUR GUIDE: AMBER JANE ARQUETTE
I've seen spirits and ancestors all my life. I've learned to listen, to work with the unseen, and to recognize the intelligence that emerges through ritual, altered states, song, and ceremony.
For over 20 years, I've led ceremonies and community gatherings, drawing from my mixed-Indigenous heritage and my training in Community Shamanism and sound healing with Jan Engles-Smith and her school LightSong.
My role is to open and tend the container, to channel what's needed for this circle in the moment, and to create the conditions for you to have your own experience.
I won't ask you to adopt a belief system. I'll ask you to pay attention to your own experience, to listen inward, work with your intention, and take seriously what arrives. Whatever comes is yours.
“I’m in awe of what you’ve created. People don’t realize the immense organization and attention to detail that goes into building a truly safe, energetic container. It can’t be created by happenstance, it’s intentional, and it carries your years of experience. I see your fortitude. I’m in awe.”

We are returning.
Summer has given us its fullness.
Autumn asks us to turn inward.
Come mark the threshold with us to honor what has been, release what is complete, return to yourself, and choose what you will carry into the season ahead.
Your presence is part of the ceremony. Thank you for considering celebrating with us.
