Fox Clan at Twilight Covening. Come to Twilight Covening this October 8-11 and explore the depths of earth-centered spiritual practice, learn new skills together and experience the joy and power of a living community ritual. Twilight Covening, produced annually by Tamelin Productions and EarthSpirit since 1986, is a three-day institute of earth-spirituality within a continual three-day ritual. It is a time to gather with others of common heart, a time to develop our collective wisdom in a shared sacred space and to reach deep into ourselves and into communion with this time of year and with all of Nature.

Twilight Covening is held in the autumn during the strong natural transition taking place all around us from light into dark, summer into winter, and outward focus to inward contemplation. This transition is especially visible amidst the beauty of New England's peak fall foliage weekend in the Berkshires. During the gathering, we use the current of change, along with focused practice in small groups called Clans, to find inspiration and insight that can feed us in the dark months to come and motivate us to make changes that we can use to deepen our own spiritual practice.

I will be leading Fox Clan this year, with a focus on extrasensory awareness. What can you see in the dark? What can you hear in the silence? Shutting off the everyday senses sharpens the more subtle ones. In this Clan we will bypass our usual routes to information -- chiefly sight and sound -- and employ all our foxy cunning in pursuit of that other awareness.
