$36 drop in | $18 for Portals members

Late summer is the dramatic time when we transition from our most expansive and gregarious selves toward privacy and quiet integration.

In Five Element Theory, late summer is connected to the digestive organs of spleen and pancreas and the earth element, inviting us to rest and digest as we move towards a feeling of centered, thorough digestion. Running from mid August to the Autumnal equinox, extreme yang softens into glowing yin.

As the golden grasses wave in crisp, seed-dispersing breezes, we can tap into our own abundant cornucopia of fullness and ripeness as our personal nature reflects the bountiful harvest of these last, long, sun-soaked weeks.

In this online workshop, we’ll step into the fertile earth of our own bodies, tending ourselves with breath, movement, and seasonal alchemy.

This immersive session weaves together:

  • Seasonal Practice — asana and embodied inquiry inspired by the earth element of late summer.

  • Breathwork and Meditation — greeting the equinox

  • Rituals — simple, magical practices to focus on the direction you wish to go. Equinox is an opportunity to pause, focus, and adjust for the coming season.

  • Guided Writing and Philosophical Reflection — integrating ancestral wisdom and contemporary practice for composting, reflecting, and incubating until the next equinox.

Weekend goodies include the following digital downloads:

  • Gifts of the Earth: Late Summer Manual

  • Radical Acts of Embodiment

  • along with recording of session sent afterwards

  • Where: Online via Zoom, recordings available

  • When: September 19, 2026 11 am-1:30 pm EST (recording provided afterwards)
