Fall Equinox Festival

  • Ancient Hearts Collective Janesville, WI United States (map)

Join us in circle to celebrate the season of HARVEST, GRATITUDE & RELEASE.

🔥 Saturday, September 19, 2026

🕐 1:00–5:00 PM | Check-In Begins at 12:30pm

📍 Janesville, WI

As the wheel of the year turns toward autumn, we gather at the threshold between light and dark, honoring the Fall Equinox and the turning of the seasons. This is a time to pause and notice what has come to fruition, give thanks for what has sustained us, and gently release what we're ready to leave behind. Together, we'll open in circle, then the afternoon is yours to explore.

Festival Flow:

12:30 - 1:00 PM: Arrival and Check-In

1:00 - 1:30 PM: Opening Circle

1:30 - 4:45 PM: Festival Experiences

4:45 - 5:00 PM: Closing Circle

✨ Create Your Own Experience

For the next three hours, you'll be free to wander and immerse yourself in our 8 unique offerings, choosing between 30-minute guided experiences, creative stations, and nature exploration.

🌿 Eight unique experiences. One unforgettable afternoon. Follow what calls to you:

🪶 Lori Frison | Shamanic Journeying

A guided journey to connect with benevolent Spirit guides for guidance, support, and peace during times of transition.

🐋 Kelly Noelle | Oceanic Sound Journey

Experience the healing resonance of the gong and receive the song of the whales as their ancient harmonies guide you into balance and wholeness.

🔥 Stephanie Locchetta | Fire Ritual & Somatic Release

Release what no longer serves you into the sacred fire, then surrender to the healing vibrations of a somatic gong journey to awaken renewal within.

🥁 Tim White Wolf | Communal Drumming

Ground yourself in the heartbeat of Mother Earth as we gather around the Big Drum in shared rhythm and prayer.

🌿 Ali Larson | Ali Kat Apothecary

Sample seasonal herbal teas and explore handcrafted herbal remedies, salves, and ritual offerings.

🪨 Sarah Baior | Pocket Stone Painting

Create your own pocket stone to carry into the coming season as a reminder to pause, breathe, and return to what grounds you.

🔮 Lindey Peterson | Intuitive Energy Clearing

Private 15-minute sessions offering gentle energetic clearing, renewal, and spaciousness. *Priority Access to Circle Luminary Guests.

🌲 Jen Carew | Self-Guided Forest Bathing

A guided invitation to slow down, awaken your senses, and reconnect with the wisdom of the natural world.

Throughout the afternoon, you'll also have time to enjoy seasonal refreshments, connect with fellow guests, linger by the fire, wander the grounds, and simply be.

✨ Reserve Your Spot Early

Most offerings throughout the afternoon are available to explore whenever they call to you. Because of their intimate nature, two experiences have limited capacity:

🥁 Communal Drumming (48 spots available)

Available to all guests by reservation on a first-come, first-served basis. (Three 30-minute sessions offered - max capacity 16 people each)

🔮 Personalized Intuitive Energy Clearing

Reserved exclusively for Circle Luminary guests. Nine individual sessions are available by reservation on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reservation instructions for both offerings will be provided after you register.

🍂 Intentionally Limited

To preserve the intimate, connected feel of the festival, attendance is limited to 77 guests.

Early registration is encouraged, especially if you'd like the opportunity to reserve one of our limited-capacity experiences.

✨ Energy Exchange

Every ticket includes:

✔ Opening & Closing Circles

✔ Three hours to explore the festival at your own pace, with enough time to experience every group offering if you choose.

✔ Creative stations and drop-in experiences

✔ Self-Guided Forest Bathing

There is no additional charge for any of the practitioner experiences included in the festival. Attending just one of these experiences would be worth the cost, and we are thrilled to be able to offer all of these great experiences for a reasonable rate. To honor the time and energy of our practitioners, we will share a portion of all ticket sales with them.

We offer this festival on a sliding scale to honor the different places we each find ourselves. Choose the level that feels most aligned with your current capacity. Every contribution helps bring this experience to life, and every guest is equally welcomed into the circle.

🍁 Circle Guest | $33

Enjoy the festival experience and explore the offerings that speak to you most.

🔥 Circle Guardian | $55 (Recommended)

Our recommended level, reflecting the depth and breadth of the experience while helping us honor the many practitioners who are sharing their time, energy, and gifts.

🌾 Circle Luminary | $77*

For those who feel resourced to give a little more, your additional contribution helps support the festival as a whole and makes it possible for us to continue creating accessible community experiences.
