Honouring the Threshold: Into Stillness, Into Lineage, Into the Mystery
At Samhain, the wheel of the year turns us into the dark season — a time when the veil between worlds grows thin. This is the ancient threshold where we pause to honour our ancestors, to remember the lineage we carry within, and to listen for the wisdom that flows through us from those who came before.
Together we will sit with the gentle, heart-opening medicine of cacao, allowing it to guide us deeper into presence, into connection with ourselves, each other, and the unseen threads of past and future.
In this sacred women’s circle, we gather to honour endings and beginnings, to give thanks for the blessings of our roots, and to explore how the lessons of our ancestors can guide the lives we are shaping — and inspire those yet to come. We root ourselves in the cycles of nature: the letting go, the turning inward, the fertile dark that nourishes new beginnings.
Here, in community, we come as we are — to be seen, heard, and held. To return to our hearts. To remember that we are part of a much greater story.
What we will do:
Cacao Ceremony — opening the heart, softening into connection, and journeying with the spirit of cacao
Guided Meditation to enter the liminal space of Samhain and attune to ancestral wisdom
Theme-based Sharing from the Heart — reflections on our lineage, grief, blessings, and the seeds we carry forward
Song & Sound to weave our voices together and honour the unseen
Earth-based Ritual — honouring our ancestors, releasing what is complete, planting intention for the path ahead
Reflection & Insight — journaling, silence, and inner listening to receive what wishes to be known
Who this circle is for:
For every woman who longs to connect with the cycles of the earth, to honour her lineage, to gather in sacred community, to pause and reflect, to celebrate life and death as part of one great rhythm. Whether new to circle or deeply familiar, you are welcome.
Bring / What to wear:
Comfortable, warm clothing
A blanket or shawl for comfort

Come sit in circle as we cross this ancient threshold — honouring the past, receiving its wisdom, and tending the seeds of the future, held by the spirit of cacao.
