2024 Mabon

Saturday, September 21, 2024 at the Minnesota Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.


Mabon is many things, but two of its chief aspects are being the second harvest festival and also being a celebration of the equinox.

As the second harvest, Mabon is a celebration of bounty.  It is a time when many vegetables and fruits are ripe in our gardens.  As such, attendees are encouraged to bring something from their gardens or Farmers’ Markets to share in our potluck.

But also, as a celebration of the Equinox, Mabon is a time of balance of light and dark.  These elements of light and dark are sometimes seen as a balance of good and evil, sometimes as conscious and unconscious, sometimes as Yin and Yang. During our ritual, we will explore the symbolism associated with these elements and look for how they are represented within each of us.
