Soft Rebellion
Ashes & Embers
A Need Fire Equinox
September 22, 2025 – 7:00pm – 8:30pm EST
At the hinge of the seasons, day and night meets equals. In that fragile balance, we light the old fire born not of convenience but of necessity. Please Join our Soft Rebellion Fall Equinox Gathering, a 90-minute immersion where we will summon our Need Fire, bringing what speaks to both rupture and renewal.
Shannon will guide us in breaking the scarcity spell by naming and releasing the fears and lies that empire plants in us, offering them to flame and soil. Together we will kindle the Need Fire, calling in courage, kinship, and renewal. We will weave acts of soft rebellion by sharing vows of mutual aid, small gestures of defiant tenderness, and the roots that hold us steady. Bring what speaks to both rupture and renewal: a leaf, a seed, a scrap of empire, a spark of love. Together, we will turn ashes into embers and embers into a rebellion of tenderness fierce enough to endure.

What we Will Do
Quiet, patient methods reveal a slow, unstoppable path this Fall Equinox.
A gathering rooted in listening and deep connection with Earth’s turning.
In 90 minutes, we move beyond reaction to a gentle, ritual rebellion.
Listening to what the Earth whispers beneath light and dark’s balance.
Weave teachings and practice deepening bond with land and unseen energies.
Activism as rooting deeply into what is alive and enduring.
For those who walk softly and powerfully as the Earth shifts beneath us.
A quiet rebellion growing unseen yet transformative.
Join teaching, reflection, and ritual embracing restoration and renewal.
Earth reconnection as the ground of lasting change.
We’ll approach this Fall Equinox gathering in ways that are deeply grounded, ritually safe, and welcoming to all backgrounds. Teachings and practices are led by experienced facilitators committed to creating a supportive space. Whether new to Earth connection or seasoned, all are invited to join with open hearts and curiosity.
Facilitator
Shannon Willis, M.Ed
Shannon will be your guide for this immersive. Her work lives at the wild confluence of dream midwifery, oracular listening, ancestral reverence, and ritual arts. She’s the Ritual Director at Ancestral Medicine, and an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa, she has also apprenticed herself to the dreaming wisdom of her own bloodlines and to teachers of Jhanki Shamanism.
Shannon writes and weaves spiritual accompaniment for emerging leaders and cultural edge-walkers—those drawn to the holy work of remembrance, repair, and rooted resistance. She dwells with her son and their furred companions near the mist-kissed shores of the Salish Sea, on the ancestral and living lands of the Twana-Skokomish people.
