October 31-November 1 marks the feast of Samhain in the Celtic wheel of the year and the feast of All Saints in the Christian liturgical cycle (followed by All Souls on November 2nd). So November 1st is like new years because Celts divided their calendar into two seasons; the season of light and doing, and the season of dark and non-doing when new beginnings gestate. As we enter the season of dark, you are invited to a contemplative celebration of our ancestors, of embracing the darkness that accompanies new birth. We will gather at noon and hear poetry, listen to music, have some space and time to journal and share.
