Samhain Celebration

Please  join us in celebrating Samhain on Saturday October 26th.  Samhain is the final Harvest and is often associated with the thinning of the veil between the worlds, honoring ancestors, and preparing for the dark months ahead.  It's an opportunity to delve deeply into the heart of a magical practice through community and ritual.

This  event will include group activities, self-directed opportunities, classes and discussions, social time around the bonfire, and an in-depth ritual intended to help you prepare for the dark months ahead.

Details for all the activities will be updated here in the weeks to come.

Note: Please RSVP to this event so that we may keep track of all attendees.  This event takes place on private property, and the address will only be provided to those who register to attend. The donation amount for this event is $20 per person. All proceeds from your donations will go toward supporting Wilder Grove programming.
