Samhain marks the turning of the year into its deepest, most mysterious season, a time when the veil between worlds grows thin and the presence of ancestors can be felt more clearly. For centuries, Samhain has been a night of remembrance, divination, honoring the beloved dead, and listening to the wisdom that rises from quiet places within. This workshop invites you to step gently into the heart of this ancient festival and explore the sacredness of memory, lineage, and the stories that shape us.

We will begin with a conversation about the history and meaning of Samhain, including its role as the Celtic new year and as a time for reflection, release, and ancestral connection. Through guided meditation and simple ritual practices, we will create space to honor those who have walked before us and to acknowledge the guidance they offer as we enter the darker months of the year.

Our hands-on craft will be the creation of a Samhain Memory Book, a small keepsake you will assemble using provided papers, ribbons, decorative elements, and prompts. This little book can hold the names, stories, blessings, or messages of loved ones, as well as reflections, poems, or symbols that feel meaningful to you. It may become a cherished part of your seasonal altar or a piece you revisit each Samhain as your relationship with the ancestors continues to grow.

We will close with a simple Samhain blessing, honoring the turning of the year and inviting protection, insight, and peace for the path ahead. All supplies will be provided and everyone is welcome, whether this is your first Samhain or a tradition you hold dear.
