INTO THE NIGHT! Masks, stories, ritual celebration in community

Join INTO THE NIGHT! for creative play and celebration of the transition to the darker months. We'll:

🌙 Get our creative juices flowing and get spoooky with games and imagination starters

🌙 Invoke GUARDIANS & PROTECTORS to help us for the darker months ahead. (We could all use a helping hand right now... am I right???!)

🌙 Make masks or totems of our GUARDIAN & PROTECTORS using cardboard, papier mache and card.

🌙 Contribute to THE MAGNIFICENT EATER OF FEARS & GLORIOUS KEEPER OF THE BALANCE

🌙 Gather and share stories around THE THRESHOLD FIRE OF WINTER

🌙 Be seriously silly and foolishly fabulous

✨What will the sessions look like?

Sessions will run from 6:30 -8:30 pm. Drop-in to one or come to all three.

Thursday Oct 16 - Invokation! We'll start with some creative play to get the juices flowing, build up the world of your GUARDIAN & PROTECTOR mask, and then get to making!

Friday Oct 24 - Play! Make! Laugh! We'll dive a bit deeper into the story world of your mask and finish making them.

Thursday Oct 30 - Our GUARDIANS & PROTECTORS will gather around THE THRESHOLD FIRE OF WINTER to share their stories and offerings, where we'll be joined by poet Rosie May Jones & guests. We'll go on a Sonic Seasons journey, feed THE MAGNIFICENT EATER OF FEARS & GLORIOUS KEEPER OF THE BALANCE, and celebrate the start of dark months of the year.
