Wild Belongings All Hallows

Wild Belongings Series
Session 3:
All Hallows Eve/Samhain
Saturday, Oct 28
2 – 4 PM
other sessions in this series:  Dec 9

Our Sacred Earth is seeded with Divine revelation. Wild Belongings invites us into a deeper experience of this revelation through relationship with the land, the creatures near us. You may register for one or both of the remaining sessions.

Session 3:
This time of year invites us to gather for one of the most celebrated Celtic holidays, Samhain (sawin), the official end of summer. The vigil of All Hallows Eve before All Saints Day honors the thin veil between the living and those who have transitioned. Our circle of remembrance will include prayer, song and thanksgiving as we honor this thin place.
