A Celtic All Hallows Gathering
A Celtic All Hallows Gathering
Join for an evening's exploration of the history and living traditions of Samhain, All Souls, and Halloween in the Celtic spirit.
Community Sing: sing a few simple and powerful songs of the harvest, darkness, after-life and other-worlds from the Celtic folk & spirituality traditions with Fiona Gillespie.
Craft: learn the history and lore of Ireland's ancient alphabet, the Ogham script, with practitioner Beth Ritter-Guth. Make an ogham stick with your chosen letter as a memento to connect to ancestry. Sticks provided (wood burning pen used.)
Memorial: light a candle in remembrance and pour out a portion of libation as an offering - a collective ritual experience accompanied by Celtic harpist Liv Castor. These acts, done in community, act as a beautiful and powerful connector to our roots and branches. Candles & beverage provided.
