WHAT IS THIS CEREMONY
We are living in a time that asks so much of us. It is hard, some days, to keep our hearts open — to ourselves, to each other, to the land beneath us, to those who came before us.
This equinox is a threshold: day and night in balance. A time to gather what has ripened in you this season, and release what no longer serves your becoming.
Long before us, our ancestors gathered at these turning points of the year — remembering each other, remembering their place within the great turning of the seasons. In these gatherings, they found belonging: to their people, to the land, to something larger than themselves. In a time when so much divides us, this kind of remembering, this kind of belonging, matters more than ever.
This is a space to come back to what matters most — through voice. Song has been medicine since before words had meaning; it moves what talking cannot reach, remembers what the body has forgotten. Together we will sing, pray, drum listen and feel. And in that sound, something in us will rise — wild, and bright, and awake, as we remember.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Singing - Drumming - Praying - Ritual - Listening - Feeling - Connection — Remembering
A ritual, an offering, a circle held for this turning season.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This ceremony is for you if you're feeling the weight of the world and want a space to breathe. If you long to feel more anchored, more whole, more free. If you want to rise up, be bold, and be part of the change this world is asking for.
No prior ceremony experience is needed. No singing or drumming skill required. You don't need to know how to pray "correctly" — only to come as you are.
Meet Ayla

Ayla is a Mother and a multilingual "world folk" singer-songwriter who lives among the ancient wild lands of Dartmoor. She has spent years travelling and studying with indigenous traditions around the world, exploring the voice as a tool for healing, release, and self-knowledge.
Ritual, prayer, and offering are at the heart of her own spiritual pathway — a devotion to the land, the seasons, and the unseen threads that connect us to our ancestors. She is a carrier of traditional songs and ancestral wisdom, and holds this ceremony as a space to connect to soul, heart, and earth through sound and prayer.
She is also a trained Womb Awakening teacher, and brings this understanding of feminine essence and inner knowing into how she holds sacred space — inviting you to anchor into your own strength, your own prayers, and your own connection to what matters most.
