Rituals of the Eclipse
A Free Two-Part Herbal Gathering with Lincoln's Heritage Rose
Welcome
Twice each year, eclipse season invites us to pause.
Across cultures and throughout history, eclipses have been regarded as moments of transition—times to listen more carefully, release what no longer serves us, and welcome a new chapter with intention.
This free two-part gathering is an invitation to experience eclipse season in a practical and embodied way through herbal ritual.
Together we'll work with Lincoln's Heritage Rose—rose petals grown, harvested, and dried here on the farm—to create a simple ritual incense while exploring the deeper symbolism of the eclipses.
Rather than simply learning about the astrology, we'll create something with our hands that can accompany us throughout the eclipse season.
No previous experience with herbalism or astrology is necessary.
Come with curiosity.
Leave with a simple ritual you can return to again and again.
Gathering One
The Leo Solar Eclipse
August 2026 12 noon pacific
The Courage of the Heart
Together we'll explore:
• The astrology of the Leo Solar Eclipse
• The symbolism of Lincoln's Heritage Rose
• How to create your own loose herbal ritual incense
• The role of ritual during times of transition
• Guided meditation and reflection
Why Herbs?
Plants have always helped us mark transitions.
A cup of tea, or a bundle of herbs.
Perhaps the fragrance of incense.
These simple practices invite us to slow down and become more present to the rhythms of nature.
Rather than approaching herbs only when something is wrong, we can begin cultivating a relationship with them throughout the seasons.
Lincoln's Heritage Rose
Throughout the two gatherings we'll work with Lincoln's Heritage Rose, grown, harvested, and carefully dried here on the farm.
Rather than purchasing a ready-made ritual product, you'll learn how to transform the petals into your own loose ritual incense—a simple practice you can return to throughout eclipse season.
In many traditions, fragrant smoke has been used to mark moments of transition, reflection, prayer, and celebration.
This gathering invites you to continue that tradition in your own way.
Gathering Two
The Pisces Lunar Eclipse
August 2026 12 noon pacific
The Wisdom of Release
In our second gathering, we'll return to the incense we created together.
We'll explore:
• The astrology of the Pisces Lunar Eclipse
• Using ritual incense during meditation
• Releasing with compassion
• Closing the eclipse season with intention
• Guided meditation and ritual
