From Angelinos who like World Journeys

Gather beneath the pines for a magical Autumnal Equinox transition! Join the coven for a Mabon camping retreat at Chilao Campground in the San Gabriel Mountains from Monday, September 21, to Tuesday, September 22, 2026. We will celebrate the harvest by campfire and hike into the depths of Devil's Canyon to welcome the Equinox sunrise. Cosmic & Astrological Forecast * **The Waxing Gibbous Moon (76% Illumination):** The Moon resides in **Aquarius**, bringing an air of visionary community connection and collaborative group magic. High in the eastern sky at sunset, it will bathe our base camp in brilliant light before setting a few hours before dawn. * **The Last Day of Virgo Season:** The Sun sits at the final 30th degree of Virgo on September 21, providing the ultimate grounding energy for our harvest gratitude. * **The Dark Sunrise Hike:** As the Aquarius Moon sets and the Sun crosses into Libra at dawn on September 22, we will experience a powerful, naturally dark window perfect for our silent dawn hike. Gathering Details * **When:** Monday, September 21 – Tuesday, September 22, 2026 * **Where:** Chilao Campground, Angeles National Forest (approx. 26 miles north of La Cañada on Angeles Crest Hwy) * **The Sunrise Ritual:** We will leave camp early on Tuesday morning (Sept 22) to hike the Devil's Canyon Trail. This single-track trail drops into a beautiful canyon of old-growth Douglas firs. **Note:** The return hike is a steep uphill climb, so save your energy for the ascent! What to Bring * **Hiking & Safety Essentials:** A reliable headlamp or flashlight for the pre-dawn descent, sturdy hiking boots with good tread, and layers to shed as the sun warms the canyon. * **Camping Gear:** Tent, warm sleeping bag, camp chair, and layers for the crisp 5,300-foot mountain night. * **Ritual & Feast:** An autumn harvest item to share for our Monday night Mabon potluck (apples, root veggies, squashes, or ciders), and your personal ritual tools. * **Practicalities:** Bring plenty of drinking water (water spigots are intermittent at camp, and there is no potable water at the trailhead), cash for the self-pay site fee, and a National Forest Adventure Pass to park at the Devil's Canyon Trailhead.

Stroll through narrow passageways of medieval villages perched on hilltops. Pick out cheese & wine at the market in town and chat with the locals. Tuscany is the dream vacation and now is your chance to go! **Live like a local:** Skip the hoards of tourists in Italy’s more popular towns and cities and live the good life in a true Italian village with barely any tourists. If you want to experience the real Italy, this is your chance! **Ideal location:** This villa was converted into a hotel in the early 1900s and is situated right in town making it easy to explore. A cafe, grocery store, and many restaurants are just a few steps away from your accommodation. **Discover Italy:** Many of Tuscany & Umbria’s most famous towns are only 30 – 45 minutes away from the hotel so you can explore all the best locations in the region without going far.

Wild Food and Useful Plants by the Season

Sat, Sep 19, 5:00 PM

From Nature Walks with Nature Nexus Institute

**Saturday, September 19, 10 a.m. WILD FOOD AND USEFUL PLANTS BY THE SEASON** To attend and for exact location, register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/autumn-foraging-wild-food-and-useful-plants-by-the-season/) This series of workshops, one per season, will show you nature through the seasons, from a forager’s perspective. The essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observational skills: How to look, where to look, what to look for. Plus, we will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods, including collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own backyard. You’ll learn how to identify and collect foods, medicines, soaps, fire-materials, and other useful parts of plants. You’ll learn to think like foragers of the past, who had to have an intimate knowledge of the seasons, and foresight for the future. (For example, sometimes you do NO foraging in an area if the plant or seed is not abundant.) Join us each quarter for an insightful walk into a wild area, with a focus on interpreting what’s available that season. Each session will include demonstrations, hands-on practice, and sampling of the seasonal foods. Each session includes a list of what is normally available in that season. AUTUMN In early autumn, it is usually dry, and plants are in a dormant phase. It’s typically hot, and dry. Streams will be dry, or running low. You’ll only find the hardiest of plants for eating, such as mustards. There still might be some manzanitas left to collect, and the acorns will just be starting to mature and to fall. Though it’s still early for toyon berries, you’ll be able to observe what sort of crop will be coming. You’ll be able to take note of what to look for in the next few months. You never know what to expect, but you might find some greens as well, usually the hardiest greens, and the late-blooming greens. This is a good way to look at the environment at a lean time, with an eye to the future. We’ll also share a few bushcrafting skills. Location: San Gabriel Mountains. Meeting location to be sent upon registration. Class fee:$65. (student/senior $45) [www.SchoolofSelf-Reliance.com](http://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/)
