The Seasonal Pause: Autumn Equinox | Sept 20, 2026

A Half-Day Gathering in Whistler, BC to Honour the Turning of the Season

As summer begins to soften into autumn, nature offers an invitation to pause. The Autumn Equinox is a threshold moment between light and dark, with the fullness of summer behind us and the quiet of fall ahead. It's a natural time to slow down, reflect and reconnect before stepping into whatever lies next.

Join Carolyn for The Seasonal Pause, a thoughtfully curated half-day gathering designed to honour this transition with her favourite practices and in her favourite mountain town. Carolyn has invited two cherished Whistler teachers, Sara Russell and Heidi Whent, to join her in creating this experience.

This is an opportunity to make space for yourself - to pause with the season, notice where you are, honour what matters and cross this seasonal threshold with greater presence and intention.

Join Carolyn and Kelbey for a Transformational Breathwork & Sound Workshop at Werklab in Vancouver, shared alongside a like-minded community.

As autumn invites us inward, this is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect and create space for what matters most. Through guided breathwork, immersive sound and quiet reflection, you'll gently release built-up stress, settle your nervous system and step into the season ahead with greater clarity, steadiness and intention.

Whether you're feeling full, in transition or simply longing for a meaningful pause, you're warmly welcome.

Tuesday, Sept 29th | 7:00–8:30 PM
at Werklab, Vancouver, BC

Together, we will explore:

• Conscious Connected Breathwork

• Heart-Centered Meditations

• Reflective Writing Prompts

• Sound Activation, with Kelbey weaving the journey through his musical gifts

*We have chosen to offer tickets on a tiered pricing system - please choose the rate that feels most aligned with your current financial capacity. Each option supports the sustainability of this work and accessibility for others.

What it is:

A Transformational Conscious Connected Breathwork experience is an active meditation practice that uses a continuous, circular breathing pattern to support entry into an expanded, non-ordinary state of awareness. Breathwork can help you shift out of habitual patterns, meet limiting beliefs with greater clarity and move or release stored emotion.

The session begins with a gentle arrival, followed by a guided breathwork practice held with care and support throughout. Options are offered to suit your experience, along with time for grounding, rest and reflective writing.

What to Bring:

• Notebook and pen

• A blanket or extra layer

• A cushion, pillow, or yoga block
