Samhain Gathering

As the Wheel of the Year turns once more, we gather in sacred circle to honor Samhain—the threshold where the veil between worlds thins and the whispers of our ancestors drift through the darkening air.

This evening is an invitation to pause, reflect, and commune with the mystery. Together, we will:
- Open sacred space with prayer and elemental blessing
- Honor our beloved dead through guided remembrance and ritual
- Craft a Samhain Ritual Anointing Oil — a blend of sacred botanicals and essential oils chosen for protection, intuition, and ancestral connection
- Close our circle in gratitude, sealing our intentions as we cross into the dark half of the year‍

Bring your reverence, your stories, and your presence, along with a photo or memento of a loved one who has passed, if you so wish. A journal and a pen are also recommended. You are welcome here in your fullness — to release, to receive, and to remember. Tea will also be available if you would like to bring a mug. ‍

When we honor the past, we awaken the wisdom that walks beside us still.

This event will be lovingly facilitated and guided by Jennifer Bower, MSN, RN, and creator of The Caregiver Oracle. As a master-prepared nurse with over 20 years of experience, Jen has a deep understanding of the role of the caregiver. She has worked in a variety of caregiving roles, both professionally and personally, including surgical trauma, nursing education, school nursing, and her role as mother, wife, friend, and community member. Jen knows that only when we commit to tending to our own essential needs, we can continue to give to others without experiencing resentment, fatigue, and burnout. So come down to Paradise Found for an energetic recharge, find a community of like-minded people in search of love & light, and some Samhain magic.
