As the season shifts and the days grow shorter, our bodies and minds also begin to transition. The Descent: Grounding Through Change is a co-ed community gathering led by Dr. Paul Agui and Bee of Contained Stems, created to help you slow down, reconnect, and integrate what this season is asking of you.
Through conversation, movement, and guided reflection, we’ll explore what it means to find balance in times of change — personally, collectively, and within the natural cycles around us. Together, we’ll pause to reflect on what we’ve learned so far this year, what’s ready to be released, and how to move forward with more grounded awareness and connection.
This gathering is rooted in ancestral wisdom, community support, and practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional integration — designed for anyone seeking a space to breathe, connect, and restore.
No prior experience with spiritual or wellness practices is needed. Just come as you are.
