Ancestral Crossroads: A Samhain Shamanic Sound Journey & Tea Ceremony

Thursday, October 30th, 2025 | 6:30–9:30 PM
Wishing Star Farm, Glen Arm, MD

🍂 The Veil is Thinning
As the wheel of the year turns toward Samhain, we arrive at a sacred threshold—when the veil between worlds grows thin and the whispers of our ancestors rise. This is a time of honoring lineage, exploring duality, and deepening connection to the unseen.

Ancestral Crossroads is an immersive evening of ritual, reflection, and sound designed to guide you into communion with your roots, your guides, and your own unfolding story. Together, we step into the liminal space where past and future meet, surrendering to the mystery and wisdom that flows through the ancestral line.

🍵 Tea Ceremony with Mike Barberesi
We begin by gathering in stillness, grounding into presence through a sacred tea ritual led by Mike Barberesi, certified tea sommelier and founder of Intentional Tea Time. With breath, intention, and journaling, tea becomes a bridge—connecting us to Earth, spirit, and self. Oracle insights and reflective prompts will help you open your awareness and prepare to journey deeper.

🌌 Shamanic Sound Journey with Bridgette Jester
From tea to tone, we enter the medicine of vibration. Guided by Bridgette Jester of Crown Creator Studios, this sound immersion weaves handpan, gongs, bowls, and sacred instruments into a resonant field that supports:

• Clearing ancestral imprints and stagnant energy
• Activating cellular memory and inner wisdom
• Opening channels of intuitive expression and surrender
• Realigning with the cyclical rhythms of the season

This sonic field becomes a mirror, reflecting what is ready to be honored, released, and reborn.
