Samhain Community Seasonal Celebration

This Samhain, we're bringing warmth from the inside, as well as warmth from the outside in these colder times. We will do so by making heart-and-soul-warming pumpkin soup, courgette bread, and any other seasonal dishes. Please bring your beloved recipes, some seasonal vegetables and let's make and enjoy a warm meal together! We will infuse this meal with intentions we will set on the day, and season it with songs, poems and rituals shared around the sacred fire.

Please refer below to the timetable of events happening on the day. Our community celebration works as a drop-in space, whereas workshop spaces will have to be booked in advance.

Info: It may be that you have had an event in your life that has
shaped you and your decisions, indeed your lifepath. It may well
be that such a story has not been spoken aloud by you to
others. This workshop is about you and your daring to say what
to date has been largely wordless. It's about how good it is to be
you in the world (while remaining humble of course!). It might be
a small incident.
This workshop is about a celebratory story about you and your
life. Even if it has been told before it may be worth telling again
with verve.
Is it a time for you to become a storyteller of such an event? Book your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/personal-resolve-your-life-as-a-spoken-story-tickets-1710801466239?aff=oddtdtcreator

Info: Cooking around the fire pit (weather permitting!) Please bring seasonal fruits and vegetables as we collectively prepare a feast + Sparking fire with flint and steel by our resident firekeeper, Francesco

Info: Fire offerings, Intention setting, stories and songs sharing. Bring your instruments and your stories!

Info: This workshop provides a space to reflect on the personal significance of seasonal change and to use mandala-style artwork to portray this journey. It will be structured into four parts, beginning with a meditation and concluding with a connection circle.

Info: During these dark Winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, many mammals go into hibertation, we see bare tree branches as the energy draws inwards to the tree roots, ready to bloom again in Spring. As human beings, (also a part of nature, incase you forgot!) we too require more rest, to slow down and bring our energy inwards.

Lets mark the turning of the wheel this Winter by joining together in community to reflect and share a full Hatha Yoga practice including:

A short Satsang (spiritual lecture)
Followed by a full body asana practice (physical postures)
Savasana (deep relaxation)
Pranayama (breath work)
Meditation
and closing with some guided chanting
The class is suitable for everyone, including beginners. Book your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/seasonal-sadhana-hatha-yoga-with-hazel-tickets-1691641357839?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
