Sunday 21st September 2025 marks the Autumnal Equinox, a moment in the year when day is equal to night. The word equinox comes from the Latin “equi” – meaning equal, and “nox” – meaning night. As the Spring Equinox in March signifies the ascent into the warmer days of summer, the Autumnal Equinox marks the descent into the darker days of winter. From this point onwards the nights grow increasingly longer than the days.

The Equinox is an opportunity for us to look to the natural world for guidance and comfort. The cyclical change in seasons allows us to look inwards at our own transformation and growth during the past year. And as the leaves fall from the branches, we learn to let go of what no longer serves us.

Using the ancient beat of the drum can help us to connect with our ancestors and the ‘old ways’.  Taking comfort from its heart beat we can prepare for our transition into the darker months.  Just as our ancestors did – knowing that the coming winter months are part of the amazing cycle life.

Drums can be provided if you don’t have your own
