Last Tuesday we met with a small group at the Paracelsus-Center of WTT near Einsiedeln, Switzerland to celebrate, like in other years, the Autumn Equinox. The day of Equinox is the day of Yoga, spiritually speaking, where inner preparation and a day with contemplations and meditations is recommended.
We met on the mountain ridge of the Etzel pass at a fire place for a little fire ritual and meditation – a fantastic panorama towards both sides of the mountain. As soon as the ritual was over, a group of cows came running to our place with the sound of cow bells – the farmer had just brought them out to the meadow.
Afterwards we went to the Paracelsus Center. To align with the energies of the time, we conducted a little equinox ritual followed by meditation and reading about the spiritual significance of autumn equinox. After lunch, we made a promenade along the beautiful Sihl river valley, followed by an exchange about yoga practice.
When the evening meditation ended, also the sun just set – closing the beautiful short group living.
Here you find some impressions from the meeting.
