“Fall is the season of meaning-making -- of gathering what the year has grown,
of understanding what can now be released, the crispness in the air
that asks you to breathe in deeply and pay attention.”
- The Stirring
About This Session
There is a morning in autumn when the light arrives at a different angle. Your body feels it before your mind does -- the crispness in the air, the invitation to turn inward, to gather, to take honest stock of where you are.
Fall is the season of the harvest question: What has this year actually grown in me? What is ripe, what is ready to be released, and what quiet truth has been trying to reach me through the noise? In this one-hour virtual gathering, we will explore exactly that -- together, and at your own pace.
Drawing from The Stirring and the framework of seasonal self-renewal, Susan Sterkenberg will guide participants through the excavation that fall makes possible: releasing what is complete, recognizing what is essential, and stepping forward into the season ahead with clarity, intention, and renewed purpose.
What You Will Explore
▶ The harvest question. A practice for meaning-making that goes deeper than any to-do list or year-end review.
▶ What the trees know. The excavation fall mirrors -- releasing what is complete to reveal what is essential.
▶ Taking stock without judgment. An honest look at what has grown, what has cost you, and what is quietly ready to move.
▶ The stirring in autumn. Why fall is when the stirring speaks most clearly -- and how to listen before the noise returns.
▶ Reflection questions to carry. Three questions to companion you through the whole season, not just the hour.
▶ Small-group conversation. Space to share, witness others, and be witnessed in a guided, low-pressure format.
This Session Is for You If...
▶ You feel the pull to go inward this fall but haven't had a container for it.
▶ You sense something is ready to shift but can't yet name what it is.
▶ You've been carrying a question that you haven't had the stillness to sit with.
▶ You want to arrive at year-end grounded, clear, and intentional rather than simply exhausted.
▶ You are at a threshold in career, life, or purpose -- and fall feels like the right moment to turn toward it.
