SUMMARY:Autumnal Equinox Sunrise Observance
DESCRIPTION:Autumn Equinox Morning Observance\nWatch the Sunrise Alignment Highlight the Heart Stone \n\n\n\nWe are proceeding in the cloudy weather. Any who wish to may gather with us for a short program but we will NOT see the alignment due to the overcast skies!   \n\nThis event will be held as scheduled as long as the weather is good. We will be outdoors as we stand and watch the sunrise. If the weather is bad\, we will cancel – watch for cancellation updates (if any) on the day of the event.  \nAt Kinstone we have a unique alignment visible only at Equinox at sunrise\, we call it The Heart Alignment. Stand with us in The Three Witnesses sculpture as the sun aligns through the Equinox Window and highlights the Heart Stone. Come and see! \nAutumn Equinox is an astronomically significant solar event. It occurs when the sun is midpoint in its journey from Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice. The sun appears to rise at due east and set at due west. It is traditionally seen as a time of balance. The light of day and the dark of night are equal. It is a herald of winter; a time for settling in for the season of rest\, rejuvenation and root work. \n\n\n\nCOST: admission to Kinstone (pay in advance online OR place your cash admission in the Blue Payment Box attached to the Information Sign Board near the parking areas); No Registration Required \nDate: Saturday\, September 23\, 2023   Time: 6:30am – 8:00am (at Sunrise) \nLocation: The Three Witnesses Sculpture at Kinstone \n\n\n\nActual sunrise is expected at 6:54am for our location. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the time we witness it may be just a bit later. Come at 6:30 to enjoy the predawn horizons and our brief program before we stand to watch the sun arrive. \nWe will gather in the center of The Three Witnesses sculpture at Kinstone. Given fair weather and clear skies\, we will watch the sun as it crests the ridge and beams through the Equinox Window to light up the heart of the middle standing stone\, known as the “Heart Stone”. Given cloudy weather\, we will not see the sunrise\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless. \n\n\nThis will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading to welcome Spring. After the reading\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to watch the alignment through the Equinox Window\, see the heart highlighted in the center stone Witness\, sit in the light of the sun\, take photos\, and greet the sunrise. \n\nDress for the weather. Bring a camp chair to sit on\, for your comfort\, if you wish. Be prepared for it to be breezy and cool up here on the ridge! Many people underestimate the wind and cold. \nThis event is outdoors and will be held only in good weather. If it is raining this event will be cancelled.  Cancellations will be posted only on this event page and on the corresponding Facebook event page at least one (1) hour before the scheduled start time for this event. \n\n\nHAPPY AUTUMN! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the astronomical Autumnal Equinox is Saturday\, September 23\, 2023 at 1:49am CDT.   \nPhoto Credit: Kristine Beck

SUMMARY:Last Sunset of Summer - Autumnal Equinox Sunset Observance
DESCRIPTION:Watch the Sunset Alignment and Catch the Sun on the Eve of Equinox \n9/22/23 5:30pm UPDATE: We are proceeding in the cloudy weather. Any who wish to may gather with us for a short program but we will NOT see the alignment due to the overcast skies! Rain expected at 7ish. Plan accordingly! \n\nThis event will be held as scheduled so as long as the weather is good. We will be outdoors where we will stand and watch the sunset. If the weather is bad\, we will cancel – watch for final updates on the day of the event.  \nThis Sunset Alignment event is held the evening before the date of Equinox as we say farewell to Summer by watching its last sunset together.  \nAt Kinstone we have a unique alignment visible only at Equinox at sunset. Stand with us and the Enlightenment Stones (Atlas and Lancelot) as the sun aligns to shine through the perforations in Lancelot and cast a line of bright points of light onto Atlas. Come and see! Join us to celebrate the coming of harvest-time and the golden season of autumn. \nAutumnal Equinox is an astronomically significant solar event. It occurs when the sun is midpoint in its journey from Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice. The sun appears to rise at due east and set at due west. It is traditionally seen as a time of balance. The light of day and the dark of night are equal. It is a herald of winter; a time for settling in for the season of rest\, rejuvenation and root work. \nCOST: admission to Kinstone\, (pay in advance online OR place your cash admission in the Blue Payment Box attached to the Information Sign Board near the parking areas); No Registration Required \nDate: Friday\, September 22\, 2023  Time: 6:15pm – 7:15pm \nActual sunset is expected at 7:04pm for our location. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone\, the time we witness it is always a bit earlier than expected.  \nThis will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading to send Summer off with grace. Given fair weather and clear skies as the sun sets in the West\, we will witness the light as it passes through the “Wise One” (Lancelot) and enlightens the “World” (Atlas). If the sunlight is strong enough and unobstructed by clouds on the horizon\, we will see a line of polka-dots on Atlas and a select few folks may be able to “catch the sun” as it aligns with the perforations in Lancelot. We will begin watching for opportunities to Catch the Sun immediately after our readings. \nDress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, jackets\, scarves\, hats and gloves. Bring a camp chair or blanket to sit on\, for your comfort\, if you wish. Be prepared for it to be breezy and cool up here on the ridge. Many people underestimate the wind and cold. \n\n\nThis event is outdoors and will be held only weather permitting. If it is raining this event will be cancelled. Cancellations will be posted only on this event page and on the corresponding Facebook event page at least one (1) hour before the scheduled start time for this event. \n\nIMPORTANT: If you wish to ensure your chance to “catch the sun”\, please Contact Us to sign up by sending an email stating “I want to catch the sun” and include your full name and email address with the subject “Catch the sun”. During this event\, guests who have signed up will be invited\, in order of sign-up time\, to catch the sun as and if weather and sunlight conditions permit. After that\, anyone attending can try this on a first-come basis. As many as we can get through will be given a chance to be photographed with their hands catching the sun – bring a friend who can be your photographer! \n\nHAPPY AUTUMN! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the astronomical Autumnal Equinox is Saturday\, September 23\, 2023 at 1:49am CDT.

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox SUNSET Observance - Time to Catch the Sun

Given cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the sunset\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless! \nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required \nDate: Monday\, September 23\, 2019  Time: 6:30pm – 7:30pm: Sunset Observance and Catching of the Sun \nLocation: near the stones known as Atlas and Lancelot at Kinstone \nIf you wish to be given a chance to “catch the sun”\, please Contact Us to sign up by sending an email stating “I want to catch the sun” and include your full name\, email address and phone number with the subject “Catch the sun”. Guests who have signed up will be called in order of sign-up time – as many as we can get through will be given a chance to be photographed with their hands catching the sun – only if weather and sunset conditions permit the phenomenon to occur! \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by evening mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we may gather indoors inside the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, raincoats\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly or wet! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the Autumnal Equinox is Monday\, September 23\, 2019 at 2:50am CDT.  \nIMPORTANT: If you wish to wander the grounds of Kinstone outside of this event\, please plan to pay your regular admission. Thank you.

SUMMARY:Autumnal Equinox SUNRISE Observance
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the passing of the seasons from Summer to Autumn. We will celebrate at sunrise on the Autumnal Equinox as we look to see the equinox sunrise alignment between sun and stone here at Kinstone!\n\n\nCOST: Free\, No Registration Required (NOTE: If you plan to walk around Kinstone after this event\, please plan to pay the $5 admission fee.) \nDate: Monday\, September 23\, 2019   Time: 6:30am – 7:30am (at Sunrise) \nLocation: The Three Witnesses Sculpture at Kinstone \nCome experience the Autumnal Equinox sunrise as we gather in the center of The Three Witnesses sculpture at Kinstone. Given fair weather and clear skies\, we will watch the sun as it crests the ridge and beams through the Equinox Window to light up the heart of the middle “witness”. Given cloudy or rainy weather\, we will not see the sunrise\, but will greet it ceremoniously regardless! This will be a quiet\, meditative event with a short opening rite and reading. \nAfter our readings\, if the sun is visible\, participants may wish to look at the alignment through the Equinox Window\, see the heart highlighted in the center stone Witness\, sit in the light of the sun\, take photos\, and greet the sunrise. We will witness the arrival of Autumn and send Summer on its way with our blessings. This gathering will last about 45 minutes to one hour. Actual sunrise is at 6:54am. However\, with the topography specific to Kinstone and the fields and trees in our view\, the time we witness it is always somewhat different. \nThis event is outdoors and will be held rain or shine. Please note that we will not see the alignment if it is cloudy or if the horizon is obstructed by early morning mist\, fog or clouds. If it is raining\, we may gather indoors inside the Kinstone Education Center. Cancellation will occur in case of a major storm. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear\, scarves\, hats and gloves if chilly! \nInteresting fact: The exact time of the Autumnal Equinox is Monday\, September 23\, 2019 at 2:50am CDT.  \n\nIMPORTANT: If you wish to wander the grounds of Kinstone outside of this event\, please plan to pay your regular admission. Thank you.
