Come celebrate the most magical weekend of the year. When the veil between the physical and metaphysical- the living and the dead - is at its thinnest. Culturally celebrated around the world and known by many names: Samhain, Dia de Los Muertos, Halloween, and All Hallows Eve. We have designed an extra special Soulful Slumber Party for those who dare to tap into the other side.
Together, we’ll draw down the energy of the cosmos, to reconnect and honor our ancestors. Hecate, the triple moon goddess who presides over magic and spells will act as a spirit guide for our weekend ceremony.
Following the ancient Mesoamerica tradition - Day of the Dead, we will commemorate those who have passed over by decorating our faces and an “ofrenda” (altar) with photos, offerings, libations, and lively celebrations.
Soulful Slumber Parties are designed to follow the Pagan Wheel of the Year, which celebrates the 8 seasonal passages of the sun. Samhain marks the descent into darkness, preparing us for the returning light after Yule (the winter equinox). We will celebrate the initiation into darkness through a little bit of ritual and a lot of fun.
