Samhain:
An Ancestral Journey Circle
On the Celtic Wheel of the Year, we turn to the Gaelic Fire Festival of Samhain to honor the ancestors and the time when the veils to the ancestral realms are thin.
The New Moon in Scorpio is one signal of the beginning of the Season of Samhain.
We circle to honor, witness, remember and receive wisdom from our lineage.
The ancestors are calling.
It is through the veil of the ancestors we will enter during this sacred time of year.
We gather to call our ancestors home to us, to receive their whispers of encouragement, to listen to their wisdom, and to honor the generations that we come from.
These are the times to gather together to heal, to grieve, and to honor the transformations occurring within and around us. It is important to not turn our back on each other or the ancestors or the Earth. Collectively - and virtually - we can open our intuitive eyes and our hearts even wider to the power and potential each of us holds within for healing, for clarity, for connection, and for inspired action.
Coming together in the ancestral realms is a part of our collective healing and grieving process that we need during these times.
It is time to honor the endings and cast new beginnings during this potent time.
Samhain represents not only a portal into the ancestral realms and a time of remembrance, celebration, and joy but also the time to sweep away the cobwebs within our minds, bodies, and hearts to usher in a new season.
Samhain was (and still can be) the Celtic New Year. Join us to honor what is complete and call in what is next.
Do you feel the Call?
During our time together you will experience:
- A collective grief ritual
- A guided journey to your ancestors
- Blessings from the ancestral realms
- Sound Bath Integration with Tanya Clark of The Dancing Soul
- Sacred space to share and be witnessed in an open, inclusive environment
- Soul journal prompts to continue to deepen in with your ancestors
This is a journey of embodied remembrance.
