Release & Remembrance: Samhain Women's Gathering ~ Ritual, Connection & Retreat

During this day retreat at Moss and Moonlight's Sanctuary for Healing Arts, we will gather in a circle of women for guided ritual, seasonal release, ancestral connection, and shared reflection in honor of Samhain. Space is intentionally limited to promote genuine connection and personal attention.

Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) is an ancient Celtic festival and the root of what we now know as Halloween. Samhain means “Summer’s End," welcoming the dark half of the year. This is a sacred time of transition - a chance to honor endings and beginnings, and embrace the wisdom of the shadow. Known as the “Witches’ New Year,” Samhain reflects inner tending. A time to clear out the old harvest and plant seeds, which will root over winter, and trust they will bloom with the coming spring. Samhain is also when the veil between the physical and spirit worlds are thin, allowing us to better communicate and connect to our ancestors and those who have departed the earthly realm.

Together, we will embrace the wisdom of this seasonal threshold: reclaiming the (often misunderstood) power of the dark, connecting to our intuition and our innate abilities for healing and manifestation.

Join us in sacred space to connect with like-minded women and nurture your inner self. For more information, reviews, and photos of previous circles, click here!
