Spirals of Life: a Samhain Ceremony

Is your soul yearning for the sacred?

Are you done with shallow approaches to holidays that humans have been celebrating richly for thousands of years?

Join us as we reclaim this holy day!

As the nights grow longer, those we've lost often feel closer.

Memories surface, grief stirs, and sometimes what we haven't said rises up asking to be heard.

That's why we're gathering for Spirals of Life: a Samhain Ceremony, a sacred evening honoring those we’ve lost AND the lives we’re still here living.

This event is for you if you’re ready to honor what's past, make peace with death, and feel more fully present in your own life.

It's not another party, but an evening spent in ceremony with good people, willing spirits, and open hearts.

Long before what we know as Halloween, there was Samhain (pronounced SOW-in).

It is the last harvest of the year and often called the Celtic new year, a night for honoring those who have passed and preparing ourselves for the quiet season ahead.

Samhain means summer's end in Gaelic.
With the late fall harvest, there is much drying up and turning brown as we preserve, consume, clean, and prepare for the cold season.

So many living things are crossing the veil making it wider, more accessible than usual.

It has long been known as a time when the veil is thin.
Where spirits, ancestors, and elementals can be more easily seen and heard.

Samhain is a time for purification before we withdraw indoors and our energies begin to move inward.
The dark time of year, just around the bend, is quieter and there is space to contemplate our lives.

We might come to ask ourselves questions such as…

What legacy will I leave?

What beauty and sorrow am I weaving, right now, into the fabric of the lives I touch?

In what ways am I and am I not fulfilling my purpose?

If something in you is saying yes, we invite you to listen to the call.

Come let your heart be touched, let your body be nourished, and leave feeling more at peace and more in touch with being alive.

We hope you will join us as we take a journey to honor this time.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Sip blue lotus cacao whilst setting your personal intention. 

• Nourish yourself with foods from the land within miles around us. 

• Stare honestly in the mirror at yourself and embrace your mortality. 

• Listen as messages from beyond the veil are channeled in support of you. 

• Sing and receive conscious loving touch or just energy as we celebrate being in a body!

More about Embracing Mortality

Kriyanna (the founder of WReN) will guide us through a beautiful healing to help us make peace with death and life.

We approach this altar of bones and flowers with deepest reverence for life. We face our mortality in this circle together where we can be held in our fear and grief. And yet we can emerge in celebration as death is but a rebirth into the next phase of our journey. Tears and laughter are all welcome here!

More about Hello Again with Trisha Dolan

Through “Hello Again,” step across the threshold to the realm beyond as messages filter through Trisha from departed friends and ancestors. Perhaps they wish to offer reassurance of their presence and peace, or maybe they hold a profound guidance intended just for you.
