About this Event
The Living Ritual of Ancestral Connection
Nature begins her soft turn inward as the sun begins its journey toward the darkening months—the ancient Wheel of the Year turns toward the time of Samhain—a threshold of transition, reflection, soul connection, and rebirth.
During this liminal time, the veil between the physical world and the spiritual realm grows whisper-thin. An auspicious time when our ancestors step closer to offer their wisdom, protection, and love.
You are warmly invited to step across the Veil.
In sacred sisterhood with Kristen and Belinda—we will navigate the thinning veil between the living world and the world beyond worlds—where we will attune to the guidance, medicine, and empowerment from our ancestors.
To call forth our ancestors who have walked before us, we will craft a living altar with ritual, sacred movement, healing energy, alchemical soundscapes, and mystical wisdom to call forth their energy with remembrance and love.
Step between the Veil—honor your ancient roots and claim the timeless strength that lives within your bloodline.
