Go Outside

Go outside for a walk. Look for signs of fall

Grab a notebook or your phone. Walk around your neighborhood or in a local park and record what you see and experience. Just getting out to enjoy nature is one of the best ways to appreciate the autumnal equinox. How many signs of this new season can you find? Collect leaves, nuts, pinecones and other signs of autumn.


Rake leaves.

Build a spiral out of leaves. Walk through the spiral for a moment of peace and contemplation. Spirals are a great meditative tool and look so cool.
