A live, 60-minute guided ceremony on the Autumn Equinox: seasonal tarot reading, journaling, meditation, and distance Reiki so your mind finally gets its hour off.
All from your couch. No experience, no camera. Skeptics welcome!
You know you need it. It's on the list. Somewhere under the doctor's appointment you keep not booking, the dog's meds, and the seventeen things everyone else needs from you first.
And on the rare occasion you get a free hour? Your brain treats it like a threat.
You scroll.
You reorganize something.
You "rest" in a way that somehow leaves you more tired.
Maybe you've also:
Meanwhile, your body is whispering.
The jaw tension.
The shoulder pain.
The 3 am wake-ups.
The Sunday dread.
You don't need another app.
You need an hour that's actually built for a brain like yours.
Downloaded the meditation apps (they're very quiet lately)
Bought the courses (may they rest in the course graveyard)
Closed your eyes to meditate and written a grocery list behind them
Promised yourself real rest "after this busy season" (there has never once been an after)
That's exactly what a Seasonal Reiki Ceremony is.
Nothing on your calendar happens by willpower alone. Your meetings happen because they have a set time, a guide, and people expecting you. Your rest has... a vague intention for "later."
That's not a discipline problem. That's a setup problem.
And one more truth: you can't think your way into rest. A revved-up nervous system doesn't stand down because you told it to. It stands down when it's led there. (More on the science in a minute, my fellow skeptics.)
So here's what actually works:
A set date, decided by the sky itself
A guide whose only job is to lead your nervous system into rest
Timing that works WITH the season instead of against it (January-you tried to bloom in frozen ground; that was never going to work)
A community full of people resting with you
One hour. Four doorways into rest. Zero ways to do it wrong.
A 60-minute live ceremony on September 22.
Join from your couch, your bed, your blanket nest. Cameras stay off.
Nothing to prepare. You don't have to believe in Reiki yet. Your only job: show up and receive.
What this season is asking of you (hint: it's never "push harder"), plus a spread you can keep pulling all season long.
My community would riot if I skipped this part.
Before we go inward, we mark the moment. A few simple prompts to name what you're carrying, what belongs to the season behind you, and what you're planting in the one ahead.
No journaling experience required. "I don't know what to write" is a completely valid first line, you can even doodle your thoughts if you want.
I talk you through the entire thing. There is no "now sit in silence and empty your mind" portion.
This meditation was designed with squiggly brains in mind, which means if your thoughts wander off to reorganize your shoe collection halfway through, you're still doing it right. And when I say 'relax your jaw' at the exact second your jaw needed to hear it? Not mind reading. I just know how squiggly brains wander, because mine wanders with them.
The main event. You lie back, eyes closed, blanket on, and receive Reiki for deep, full-body rest.
This is the part where busy brains go quiet and bodies finally exhale.
Built for your real life, not the one where you drink fresh squeezed green juice each morning.

Quick nervous system lesson, because I know your inner skeptic is reading this too. Hi. Welcome. I used to be you.
Your body has two main settings. Fight-flight-freeze: the one that thinks a tiger is chasing you. (The tiger is your inbox.) And rest-restore-heal: the one where your body repairs, digests, and finally lets go.
Here's the catch: you can't talk yourself out of fight-or-flight. Your nervous system doesn't speak to-do list. It speaks safety. Every part of this ceremony is designed to speak its language.
That heavy, melty feeling?
That's your rest-restore-heal system coming online.
It's supposed to feel like that.
Nature doesn't bloom year-round, and neither do you. Each ceremony works with what the season is already doing: releasing in autumn, resting in winter, planting in spring, blooming in summer.
Studied for its effects on relaxation and nervous system regulation, and offered in more than 15% of US hospitals. (Yes, hospitals. I keep a spreadsheet with 69+ studies in it. I'm very fun at parties.)
Zero self-reliance required. When someone else is holding the map, your brain finally gets to stop navigating and settle in to enjoy the ride.
Research shows that simply ritualizing a task lowers anxiety around it. Predictability tells your nervous system "you're safe here." Safe nervous systems can rest.
I know. I KNOW. Former skeptic, remember? So let's think it through.
You've laughed out loud at a video filmed years ago, thousands of miles away. You've cried at one too (don't lie). Your body had a real, physical response to something that was never in the room with you. Distance didn't stop it.
Distance Reiki works on the same principle: you settle in, I guide the session, and your body responds right where it is.
And honestly? The distance is the best part. No commute. No studio. No stranger snoring next to your yoga mat. Your own couch, your own blanket, and a cat who will absolutely materialize out of nowhere.
Don't take a former skeptic's word for it. Take a current one's:
Autumn Equinox · September 22 · 1pm ET
At 23, a doctor looked me in the eyes and told me my hip pain was typical of an 80-year-old. What he couldn't tell me was why. Two years of physio and orthotics later, no one else could either.
Then a teacher at a yoga retreat suggested Reiki. I was skeptical, but figured worst case, it would be like a massage. Spoiler: it was not like a massage. The next morning I woke up in notably less pain, and my skeptic brain did the only reasonable thing: went looking for the science. The woo alone was never going to be enough for me. (I mentioned the spreadsheet, right?)
Today I live without hip pain 99% of the time. I've spent the years since 2019 as a Reiki Master Teacher. I've taught students in 22 countries and guided thousands of squiggly-brained humans into the kind of rest their nervous systems had been begging for.
And if your brain is the squiggly kind: you're in extra good company here. I have ADHD, OCD, and anxiety. I'm a holy hot mess most days, and Reiki is how I come back to center.
One thing I will never be is a guru. Think of me as the bestie a couple steps ahead on the path, holding a flashlight and yelling back "it's safe, come on."

Here's the thing about this deadline: I didn't set it. The sky did. The Autumn Equinox lands on September 22 whether you spend that day rushing or resting. The season turns either way.
The only question is how you'll meet it. Running on empty, again. Or under a blanket, camera off, letting your whole nervous system finally exhale.
One hour. From your couch. Nothing to prepare, no belief in Reiki required, and no way to do it wrong. Even if you sleep through half of it. Especially then.
Come in your pajamas.
Keep your camera off.
Let the dog join, she will anyway.
Your only job is to show up and receive.
I'll handle everything else. And I will not let you fail.
See you on the Autumn Equinox, friend.
You are the magic ✨
