Samhain (pronounced Sow-ein) has long been a time of magic, mystery, and celebration. In Celtic tradition, this turning point of the year marked not just darkness, but rest, renewal, and the promise of new beginnings. It’s a moment when the veil between our world and the spirit world feels especially thin, offering us a chance to remember, honour, and celebrate those who came before us.
Across the world, cultures embrace this season as one of connection and joy in remembrance, and we’ll be doing the same! This Mortal Life invites you to help curate an evening filled with warmth, connection and community. We’ll share a cosy bring-and-share meal, play some light-hearted games, and enjoy good conversation. Together, we’ll build a creative Remembrance Altar to showcase our photos, mementos and tokens to honour our loved ones, and we’ll light candles in their memory.
There will also be chances to dip into reflective activities like tarot, explore themed discussion prompts, and share creativity in our open-mic style circle, whether that’s a poem, reading, song or story. The night will be a collaboration of connection and creativity, and you’re warmly invited.
This is a night for both laughter and tenderness, for memory and celebration. Come as you are and let’s gather in the spirit of Samhain. Tickets are limited to 35 so please do book early.
