Attending to: The Autumnal Equinox

A special bonus episode of Attending Together to celebrate the seasonal shift from summer into fall.

Dear readers,

Happy Autumnal Equinox! To celebrate the changing of the seasons, we have a bonus episode of Attending Together for you, in which we attend to the autumnal equinox.

In this episode, I start off with several book recommendations to help you get into seasonal reading this fall, then Victoria leads us through a most lovely autumnal meditation.

We hope you enjoy this episode and you can find links to all of the books as well as Victoria’s other podcasts below.

Happy listening!

All best wishes,

Hailey
