As the Earth spins, we’re met with the weeks of the long shadow come late October. Summer lingers lightly here on the Central Coast, the last blooms in the garden fluttering in the dappled light of the shortening days.

In many traditions, and as if often felt by many of us still, now is the time of the thinning veil. When the work of Summer and harvest season begins to quiet, the fields are put to bed, and we begin to reflect & turn inward, those inner realms take us to places that are often unexpected.

The lands of the flora, the fauna, the ancestors, and the Faie are more easily accessed. On this potent day, just before Samhain (sow-en; the origin of Halloween), we’ll gather & spend the day honoring such essences. We’ll craft herbal kitchen medicine, weave some hearth magic & adornments, harvest what’s left in the garden before letting it go to rest, and speak alive the folklore of this Autumn (Samhain) season.

Open to all! Littles are welcome to join.

Lunch will be cooked by me ~ please let me know if you have any dietary restrictions & I’ll do my best to accommodate.

We’ll have herbal tea, potable water, and herbal snacks available throughout the day.
