Waking up this morning with a stillness inside me, the smell of wood smoke still in my hair, and so much gratitude for yesterday’s Samhain ceremony.
It feels like a real privilege to do this work, to bring people together and hold space for them to explore different parts of their own healing journey. I feel very blessed, and quite humbled by it.
This reel shows the space being prepared before everyone arrived. I tend to put my phone away during ceremony, as taking photographs or filming feels like it interrupts something. So imagine this space after sunset, candles flickering inside and the fire lit outside. It was so atmospheric and beautiful.
Usually I call in the directions before everyone arrives, but yesterday I felt it was important for us to open the space together.
Then, as everyone placed their photographs and treasured objects on the altar and lit their candles to invite the light in, there was a natural pause. Seeing those connections to loved ones who have passed, hearing their stories, and sitting together amongst the candlelight was deeply moving.
That moment has stayed with me. So has the memory of us gathering around the fire afterwards, eating together, sharing stories and raising a toast to our ancestors.
Thank you to everyone who came and brought so much of themselves into our circle. It was a very special evening. 🤍
Our next gathering will be The Voices of Winter Solstice on 21st December. Another opportunity to come into ceremony and celebrate together, this time through our voices, song, Yoga Nidra and sound.
