At the end of October, Samhain, The Day of the Dead (or Halloween) marks the Celtic New Year and the end of the harvest season. It signals the beginning of winter and the dark half of the year commences...

​

...This is a truly magical time and traditionally in many cultures, it is recognised that the veils between the worlds are at their thinnest. It is time to honour and offer hospitality to our ancestors.

​

As part of this Ceremony, we will make ritual offerings to our ancestors and loved ones who have passed over and will journey deep in our dance and meditations from this place of connection.

"Death is always followed by rebirth and while this is the end of the old year, it is the beginning of the new year. For the Celts the day did not begin at dawn, it began at sunset, it began with darkness. Light is always born out of darkness, they are inseparable, interdependent, and necessary. Darkness is fertile with 'all potential'. With the beginning of this dark phase comes the opportunity to rest and reflect on the past and to dream of new beginnings. The seed now hidden in the earth will germinate in its season. Look for the seeds in yourself!" ~ The Goddess and the Green Man.
