Fruits of the Dark: A Gathering of Witches Honoring Death

Join us this October Full Super Moon for a sacred Samhain gathering, a time to honor our ancestors and embrace the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. This ancient festival marks the end of the harvest season and the transition into the darker half of the year, offering a powerful opportunity for reflection, transformation, and connection.

Tickets include: Access to all supplies needed for broom making, Ritual by Jocelyn Sackett, Woodland Witch and Priestess of the Veils, Live concert by Dune Moss, The Faery Song Weaver, Tea and Snack bar, movement afterparty, and a tea light candle bearing the energetic flames of our communal fire to represent the old customs of relighting our hearth fires from the village bonfires. More details below.

We will begin the evening with a special broom-making workshop, where we will craft traditional brooms (besoms) from natural materials symbolic to the rich folklore surrounding Samhain, witches, and the Realm of the Fae.

The evening will include a ritual led by Jocelyn Sackett, Woodland Witch and Priestess of the Veils. Through ancient mystical practices, she will guide us to strengthen our intuition and protective wards, bless our new brooms for future magical workings, and celebrate the feminine energy of the full moon. With the aid of our spirit guides and the power of the elements, we will release our old fears, habits, and regrets, setting the stage for personal and communal rebirth.

The song weaver, Dune Moss will then bring her faery magic on stage as she performs live and casts ethereal sound spells to enchant the evening. She will open with her song "Fruits of the Dark" which will allow everyone to move through the emotions that emerged from the rituals earlier in the night. She will continue to sing her songs and offer a guided journey of the cycles of life through her music.

The night will conclude with movement through our mortal flesh and bones as we allow our deep expressions burst into our reality. The songs have been carefully crafted to open a space for your unique expression whether you decide to sway gently, or shake your emotions down to the marrow of your bones! This will not be your average DJ set where the noise overstimulates you endlessly The music will have many big expressive moments, while also having gentle, emotional moments.

We will have Cozy Quiet Rooms, and mini tents for resting and connecting with others. Outdoor access to a beautiful garden space with a fire will be available for you to gather all throughout the night.

Through candle-lit altars and mystical spell songs, we will connect with ourselves, each other, and the spirits of those beyond our realm.

Please bring a photo or item of a loved one you’d like to display on our community ancestor altar, as well as a small offering to our mysterious fae friends (they love honey, milk, cream, sweet breads, etc).

Live Photobooth will be present to capture this magical moment for you to keep with you!

Snacks and Tea will be provided and alcohol for purchase.

We invite you to dress in cloth that resonates with the emotions, and or ancestors you want to bring into the sacred space. Be intentional and wear your version of dark feminine, nature energy, Halloween and Samhain wild fae, witchy, etc. and be ready to create some magic and dance under the full moon like the Druids of old!
