A Samhain Gathering

Front Room WSM

An evening of warmth, connection and community marking Samhain, the Celtic turning point of the year. Share a cosy bring-and-share vegetarian/vegan meal, play light-hearted games and enjoy good conversation. Build a creative Remembrance Altar with photos, mementos and tokens to honour loved ones, and light candles in their memory. There will be reflective activities, themed discussion prompts and an open-mic style circle for poems, readings, songs or stories. Includes a simple opening welcome ritual and seasonal reflections. No requirement to participate; listening and offering your presence is enough. Indoor setting, large group (20-30 people). Alcohol-free, with soft and hot drinks available. This is a community gathering, not therapy or a support group. Hosted by Esther Hall, Creative Community Facilitator, End of Life Companion and Founder of This Mortal Life.
