You are invited for the Samhain Gathering, a space where we honor and explore our intimate relation to death and celebrate Life.
According to the pagan Celtic tradition, Samhain represents the Dark Pole of the year where the veil between the world of the death and the living is very thin and transparent, which enables us to connect with the Spirit World and the ancestors.
Exploring our embodied relation to death and remembering our impermanence and mortality allows us to experience life more fully and passionately. Linear-dualistic thinking dissolves and transcends into a cyclical experience. We are living, evolving spirals, ready to dance into a new cycle.
To bring:
Something to share for the feast
Cup/bowl/spoon
Water
Optional to bring:
Something for the ancestor altar: You can gently hold this in awareness until the time of the ritual, gathering symbolic objects and/or pictures which bring you in touch with the supportive power of the ancestors.
