Autumn Equinox + Harvest Full Moon Vibrational Sound Therapy
Wild Indigo Forest Farm · Saturday, September 26, 2026
SEP 26
Equinox + Full Moon + Vibrational Sound Therapy
Forest + commUnity + Sound
On the Saturday of the 2026 Harvest Full Moon, just days after the Autumn Equinox, we’re gathering in the forest to mark the turn of the season through food, fire, intention, land, and vibrational sound therapy.
⏰ Time TBD · sunset-centered gathering
The experience begins before the sound
Your Arrival Hour
Come early. Park. Exhale. Wander. The land opens one full hour before vibrational sound therapy begins, because arriving is part of the experience.
Before we settle in for sound, offer the release note to the fire.
A seasonal threshold walk.
Leaves, gourds, herbs, flowers, grasses, stones, and whatever the land offers that week will shape the path, with a large full moon anchoring the center.
Listen · feel · move as you need
Vibrational Sound Therapy
Once the session begins, Cat of Cat & Owl Alchemy will introduce herself and guide the vibrational sound therapy experience.
Slowing down may feel peaceful, emotional, activating, uncomfortable, tender, strange, spacious, or confronting. You may cough, sigh, cry, shift, feel restless, need to sit up, or simply notice your body more intensely than usual.
Warm · seasonal · autumnal
An Autumnal Feast
We want the food to feel warm, seasonal, easy to eat, and gentle before sound.
Phyllo Bite
Butternut squash, vegan-adapted brown butter miso, sage, and a crunchy butternut squash chip element.
Mini Galette Square
Butternut squash, brown butter miso, sage, lightly whipped ricotta, honey, and crunchy butternut squash chip.
Pawpaw Pudding Square

Three Ways to Settle In
Cushioned mat. Your take-home care package includes a Wild Indigo herbal tea bag plus any offering Cat chooses to weave in. Bring your own blanket, pillow, or eye mask if you want extra coziness.
Cushioned mat + blanket + pillow + eye mask. Your care package includes a Wild Indigo herbal tea bag + Wild Indigo Boundary Spray + Cat’s Comfort-tier offering(s).
Zero-gravity reclining chair + full comfort setup. Your care package includes a Wild Indigo herbal tea bag + Wild Indigo Boundary Spray + a handmade candle from Cat + any additional pieces we decide to weave in. Reclined Comfort is intentionally limited, with approximately 4–8 chair spaces depending on the final indoor layout.
Seasonal attire · encouraged, never required
Come Dressed for Autumn
Wear the colors of fall. Wear leaves. Wear a floral crown. Add botanical adornment, woodland textures, or whatever the autumnal season means to you.
And yes, if your interpretation is forest fairy, we enthusiastically support your choices. 🧚🏿♀️
Weather-safe by design
If the Weather Turns
We are dreaming this as an outdoor gathering, but every ticket is being planned around what can comfortably move indoors if needed. Vibrational sound therapy will shift inside during bad weather, and the fire ritual can move to the fire inside our masonry heater.

Give yourself time to arrive
Arrival + Parking
Please use the full one-hour arrival window. Parking is spread across several areas of the property, and we’ll send the event-specific parking plan before the gathering so you know exactly where to go before you arrive.
Parking across the property
- Knob N’ Wood Retreat Center lot: about 6–7 vehicles. These closest spaces are specifically reserved for guests who need additional mobility support.
- Upper Ridge Sun Lot: about 4–5 vehicles. It is a two-minute-or-shorter walk down the knob, and shuttle help is available if you prefer a ride.
- Forest Lot: about 5 vehicles. It is also a two-minute-or-shorter walk down the knob, with shuttle pickup available if needed.
- Knobstone Trailhead Overflow: up to about 25 vehicles. This is the primary overflow area and the main focus of our shuttle service during the arrival hour. Open the Knobstone Trailhead overflow map ↗
Mobility support + shuttle help
The parking area directly beside Knob N’ Wood Retreat Center is intentionally held for guests who need the closest, simplest arrival route. If you need additional mobility support, please tell us ahead of time so we can reserve the right space and help plan your arrival.
Shuttle service begins with the arrival window and runs every 10 minutes throughout the arrival hour. Pickup is available from the Upper Ridge Sun Lot and Forest Lot, even though both are only about a two-minute-or-shorter walk down the knob. Our primary shuttle focus will be the Knobstone Trailhead Overflow.
Please arrive during the full one-hour window and plan to be completely parked, walked or shuttled in, and settled before vibrational sound therapy begins. Once the session starts, late arrivals may need to wait for a natural transition before entering.
