New England Retreat Weekend
October 30th - November 1st 2026
A three-day in-person immersion of remembrance, embodiment, and reverence at the threshold between life and death.
THE INVITATION
As the veil thins, we gather in a sanctum of breath, body, and earth to honor the Beloved Dead and the cycles that hold us.
Through movement, sound, and ritual we descend into the fertile dark—where grief and gratitude intertwine, where the ancestors whisper, and where we remember what it means to be truly alive.
This is Samhain Sanctum: a living altar, a silent supper, a communion of souls who walk with reverence into the season of endings and renewal.
