🍂 We can connect to our collective or personal ancestors by journeying to the upper worlds, to a place in the stars where they all gather and offer a deep well of support. When I visit this place with intention, I’m always warmly welcomed and encouraged to develop my talents and skills. I can communicate more easily with them at times of the year when the veils are thinner. Samhain or Halloween is traditionally the time of year when we bring into balance any ancestral issues, honour them on a personal and collective level.

If we do not heal our ancestors, they continue to live through us, and until they find peace, we do not find peace. Ancestral healing runs deep through our bones and our DNA. Being connected to my ancestral line brought me deep happiness, self-esteem, and a reason to continue walking and exploring my personal path further.

Another Ally at this time of year is the Cailleach. The Cailleach can be called upon as an ancient ancestral mother, or as a powerful and wise Goddess of winter, to support you whenever you face hard times, feel lost, or experience sadness or grief, as well as to honour and bless those who have passed over. She may sometimes be seen as the Celtic embodiment of Death, but as such, she needn’t be a figure to be feared, rather a wise Grandmother who guides the departed on their way when their time has come.

31st October: 7.30 pm at Hampe Nawasi Healing Lodge, Rodmell

💗 Created and held with the greatest of love and care by Ali Rabjohns and Joanna McEwen, this will be an evening of connecting to our ancestors and to ourselves:

🧡 Guided sound meditation

🧡 Shamanic fire ceremony and journeying

🧡 Poetry

🧡 Organic herbal teas and cake

..and delicious self-connection ✨

🌺 Ceremony brings people and communities together, provides spiritual nourishment, and deepens our connection to the earth and the wheel of the year as it turns. This helps us to stay strong in turbulent times and empowers us to move with more joy and grace through the changing seasons of our lives.

🍃 By the end of this experience, you will have had plenty of time in a safely held space to assimilate the busy months gone by, welcome the darker days ahead, and explore and deeply reflect upon the themes of balance and transition in your own life.

➡️ Spaces are limited, and booking is essential. All adults are welcome. We ask for an investment of £25; concessions are available on request.

➡️ Drop us a line at enquiries@alirabjohns.com. It’s possible to pay via BACS to bypass Eventbrite fees. We look forward to seeing you there! 🙏

“As we turn inward, we have a chance to reconnect and commune with what the ancient Greek philosopher Proclus called ‘the causes of our becoming.” In other words, it’s a period of recalibration as we turn back toward our essential knowing. It’s an incredibly potent time for creativity since the seeds of truth that we care for in the coming dark will break through in the spring” 🍎❤️
