Haven Halloween: Portal of the Ancestors

What happens when the veil between worlds begins to thin? What truths do you uncover in the presence of your ancestors? What part of you leaves… and what part of you returns?

Step into the Portal of the Ancestors. 🌀

This Halloween, The Haven invites you into a 2-night immersive journey of ritual performance, multicultural music, and ancestral remembrance. As the veils thin and the spirits draw near, we gather to honor the past, dance into the future, and co-create an altar of artistic expression.

Following Phase 1: The Unveiling, we now open the next chapter in The Haven’s evolution: Phase 2: Beyond the Veil. This is a descent into the sacred, the surreal, and the unseen. Each evening begins with a fully immersive ritual theater experience and flows into a vibrant late-night celebration of music, movement, and visionary art.

Wander through hand-built portals, surreal installations, and ancestral dreamscapes. Encounter archetypes, make offerings, and move through symbolic thresholds. This is where Día de los Muertos meets Halloween and Samhain…where candle-lit ceremony meets cosmic bass, and where the past and future dance together in the present.

💀 Portal of the Ancestors: Ritual Theater Immersive Experience

Each evening begins with an immersive, multi-room ritual theater journey created by The Haven community. This is not a show you watch — it’s a living experience you move through, guided by memory, archetype, and intention.

As you pass beyond the veil, you’ll walk through an arc of remembrance, release, and return:

🕯️ The Threshold – Where intention is set, silence is honored, and your journey begins
🌑 The Shadow – A space to grieve and let go of what’s been unhealed, unspoken, or unseen
🔥 The Encounter – Meet the archetypes of the ancestors: Warrior, Trickster, Sage, and more
🌬️ The Return – Gather at a central altar to offer your memory, your intention, your prayer
🎶 The Opening – A seamless transition into music, celebration, and embodied release

Wander candle-lit corridors, shadowed realms, and ancestral portals. Be guided by grief-tenders, archetypal performers, and ceremonial hosts. Return with something reclaimed — a message, a memory, a truth you are ready to carry forward.

🎭 Costumes and ritual attire are welcome.
🕯️ Bring a photo or offering for the community ofrenda.
