We had yet another fun gathering take place at the Sunburst Sanctuary last week-end during the bright and beautiful October Harvest moon. The autumn is such a wonderful time to gather when the days are sunny and warm, and the nights are starting to get cold. There is something about the contrast when the temperatures drop forty degrees between day and night when one can really feel the power of the changing seasons. Fall on the central coast is so beautiful with the many vineyards and local native trees changing colors, and many pumpkin patches are within visiting distance in the nearby towns of Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez.

Some of the activities for October’s Celebrate Life were two classes of yoga, a restorative evening class and a more invigorating morning class, and a wonderful Autumn hike in the afternoon. Dinner was served on the outside patio where we could observe the incredible beauty of the landscape complete with wandering groups of deer and other wildlife. Our meal, prepared by Core Foods chef Kira, was complete with all the warming foods of the harvest- potatoes, squash, kale, and other delights were served. A view of the setting sun to a long and luxurious day at Sunburst was an added bonus, followed by an evening of sacred songs….such a nice way to celebrate life!
The glorious full moon over the mountains blessed the end of our day.Â
