Facilitators: Ruth Langford & Cait Branigan
The Irish, in common with many First Nations cultures, placed great importance on their dead ancestors and this was reflected in their customs and beliefs.
At Samhain, focus was placed on the telling of our ancient myths and legends; storytelling and the telling of anecdotes; fireside craft; study and learning. Samhain Eve was a time of setting out on voyages to the Otherworld and the blurring of customs through mask-wearing and cross-dressing. In ancient times, the fires were put out in the home and relit from the sacred fire on the Hill of Tlachtga.
In this workshop, we will prepare for the coming of Winter, exploring our ancestral stories and the evolution of familial and cultural traditions.
Join Ruth and Cait for a journey of Ancestral Repair and connection to Country.
A beautiful walk on kunanyi to Myrtle Falls to sing and make connections to the Well, Wise and Loving Ancestors.
