Lammas – gratitude for what is being harvested

We’ve reached the mid point between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox, a time that traditionally marked the first harvest and a celebration of the earth’s bounty. Summer is still in full swing, during the day it is warm and bright, and yet we have begun our journey towards autumn. It’s a good time to feel gratitude for what has grown and emerged in the light half of the year, the work we have done, whilst noticing the subtle shift towards the dark.
