SAMHAIN

SATURDAY 1ST NOVEMBER

AT SQUASH 2-4PM. DUSK WALK TO THE OAK 4-5PM

An invitation to:

  • Gather in around the fire
  • Remember our loved ones
  • Gently prepare for winter
  • Walk together towards the dark half of the year

As we enter into the darkest weeks of the year, we invite you to gather in together around the fire to celebrate Samhain; the end and beginning of the Celtic New Year.

Add the names of lost loved ones to the altar, be they ancestors, family members, friends or those we’ve never met. Honour the people of Palestine, living and dead. Taste warming mulled apple & fire cider. Have a chat through your hopes, worries, griefs & joys.

Bring something to burn.

“Samhain is upon us, marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time of cold and darkness when the veil between the living and the spirit world is believed to be at its thinnest. The word “Samhain” is derived from old Irish and means “summer’s end.” It is a time to bid farewell to the warmth and light of summer and prepare for the introspective and cold months ahead.” from Landworkers Alliance

We will be collecting for All Our Relations; community-led aid project in Gaza.
