Day of the Dead / Samhain Dance Ceremony
Saturday Oct. 28th
7:00-9:15pm PT
Hillside Urban Sanctuary, El Cerrito, CA
Day of the Dead invites us to honor ancestors and loved ones who have passed. Family, friends, teachers, beloved pets! Have/bring photos for the altar!
Samhain (saw-win) is a traditional Celtic celebration at the mid-point between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice and marks the beginning of the darkest quarter of the year. The veil between worlds is considered to be at its thinnest.
It is a multidimensional time dedicated to
celebrating completion of the harvest,
honoring the beloved dead,
and the Celtic New Year!
It is a potent time to connect with and honor the cycles of nature, and play with the dance of light and dark in our lives.
We invite you to consciously mark the turning of the seasons~
and the dance of light and dark in your life.
Join us and dance to acknowledge these challenging times AND celebrate all that is wonder-full around you and within you!
Bring your intentions, prayers and move what you need to move~

How and if you move is up to you~
