“Courageous thing that, a man willing to walk in nature’s dream of him.”
Join Diarmuid Lynn in attuning to the energy of Samhain — a time of endings, reflection, and renewal. Together we will explore how to move beyond the “management” of life that keeps us locked in a purely mind-focused existence, and instead open to a more heart-centred awareness of life’s greater rhythms.
Through guided discussion, reflection, and ritual, we will:
-
Explore the differences between ceremony and ritual.
-
Prepare for a meditation that invites in the aspects of Samhain we wish to embody — our intentions, deepest wishes, and alignment with the natural world.
-
Reflect on the year past — its planning, work, harvest, and endings.
-
Release patterns and processes that no longer serve us.
-
Call on our ancestors and descendants — human, animal, plant, and spirit guides — for guidance.
-
Participate in a fire ritual to alchemise release into renewal.
-
Meditate on integration, asking: What do I need to do in my daily life to honour my chosen intentions?
-
Choose an Irish word to carry forward, using the Dinneen Dictionary as an oracle deck.
This gathering offers a space to honour Samhain, connect with ancestral wisdom, and step into a cycle of deep rest and renewal with clarity and intention.
