About this Event
Samhain marks the threshold between autumn and winter, when the harvest is complete and we begin turning toward the darker half of the year.
This candlelit mini-retreat is the first event in an ongoing Wheel of the Year gathering series exploring the eight seasonal turning points and the wisdom each one carries. Together, these gatherings offer a way to move through the year with greater awareness, ritual and connection to the changing Earth.
During this two-hour experience, we’ll explore Samhain’s traditional themes of endings, remembrance, descent and renewal through seasonal teaching, herbal tea, gentle movement and light breathwork.
You’ll then be guided through a sound-healing meditation and seasonal vision quest, creating space to listen for what is ending, what is asking to be laid to rest and what may be quietly taking shape beneath the surface.
The evening will also include guided journaling, oracle-card pulling and a simple candlelit ritual to honour the people, experiences and former versions of ourselves that helped bring us here. Each participant will receive a workbook to use throughout the gathering and continue exploring at home.
No previous experience with ritual, sound meditation, the Wheel of the Year or earth-based spiritual practices is needed. Come curious, bring a journal and prepare to enter the darker season with intention.
This gathering begins our journey around the Wheel of the Year, with future events marking the solstices, equinoxes and the seasonal thresholds between them.
