🍂✨ Samhain — The Turning of the Wheel

As the Celtic wheel turns to Samhain (SOW-in), the air feels different now — still, sacred, ancient.
This is the threshold season, when the veil between worlds grows thin, inviting us to honor what has passed and welcome the stillness of renewal.

The garden mirrors this rhythm beautifully — shedding summer’s bloom to root into the evergreen heart of winter’s wisdom.

📌📌Samhain is the Celtic New Year — a time of deep remembering and gentle release.
The Earth exhales her final breath of harvest, and we are reminded that endings are never final — they are thresholds guiding us home to what’s real, what matters, and what wants to be reborn.

Nature shows us how to let go with grace. 🍁
The petals fall, the soil rests, and in the quiet, something new begins to stir.

🕯 so as the Wheel of the Year continues its sacred turning — from the fire of summer to the stillness of winter — may you find peace in your own unfolding. ⚖️
Honour what has completed its cycle.
Listen for the guidance that moves in silence.
🙏And remember: even in the darkest nights, your roots are still alive beneath the surface.

🌿 The Wheel of the Year
Each festival mirrors the rhythm of nature and the evolution of the soul:

🌸 Imbolc — Awakening & intention (early February)
🌷 Ostara — Balance & new growth (Spring Equinox)
🔥 Beltane — Passion & creative fire (May 1st)
🌞 Litha — Expansion & light (Summer Solstice)
🌾 Lughnasadh — Harvest & gratitude (August 1st)
🍂 Mabon — Balance & reflection (Autumn Equinox)
🌑 Samhain — Release & remembrance (October 31st)
❄️ Yule — Stillness & rebirth (Winter Solstice)

Each turn calls us home to our own inner cycle — birth, bloom, harvest, and rest.

✨ Reflection for Samhain:✍️📝
• What am I ready to release with love?
• What wisdom am I carrying forward into the new year of my spirit?
• How can I honor those who walked before me by living fully now?

🕯 Light a candle. Breathe deeply.
Give thanks for the year that has been.
Samhain is not an ending — it is the sacred pause before rebirth.

Diffuser Blend — Veil Between Worlds ⚛️

I create for a 150–200 mL diffuser

🌿 3 drops Sweet Marjoram — The frequency of release.
Softens the emotional body, comforts grief, and opens the heart to trust the unknown.

🌿 1 drop Aniseed — The frequency of insight.
Activates intuitive sight, clears psychic fog, and aligns you to ancestral wisdom.

🌿 3 drops Vetiver Grass — The frequency of grounding.
Roots your energy deep into Gaia’s heart, anchoring spirit into form and presence.

🌲 2 drops Cedarwood (optional) — The frequency of protection.
Calls upon the elders — the tree spirits — for grounding, purification, and strength.

🍊 2 drops Sweet Orange (optional) — The frequency of light within the dark.
Brings warmth, gratitude, and a gentle ember of joy into introspection.

🔥 Energetic Purpose

To guide you through the threshold of transformation —
To help you remember your lineage of light —
To rest in stillness and trust the cycle of death and rebirth.

🌕 How to Work with the Energy

Diffuse during your meditation, reflection, or as you tend your altar.
Allow the scent to become your bridge — between body and spirit, past and present.
Each breath becomes a prayer:

“I am grounded in my becoming.
I am guided by love through the turning.”

✍️ *~ a Samhain poem ~*

The wind turns ancient in November’s breath,
and the veil grows soft between here and there.
Leaves become whispers of what was,
falling like blessings from unseen hands.

The Earth hums low —
a song of endings and beginnings intertwined.
She calls us inward,
to light the candle of our remembering.

We meet the shadows not to fear them,
but to thank them for their lessons,
for the way they shape our light.

This is the time of roots and flame,
of letting go and listening deep.
The ancestors walk beside us —
not as ghosts, but as guidance.

So breathe, wild one.
Release what no longer needs your holding.
Let the smoke rise, the soil settle, the silence speak.

Between the worlds,
your spirit stands whole —
rooted in Earth,
open to sky.

🕯✨. From my heart to yours. Blessings of Samhain 🍂🔥

🌙 Just released — and already nearly full! Only a few sacred spaces remain for this transformational retreat… if your soul’s been waiting for a sign, this is it. ✨

🍂 The Deep Pause: A Soulful Autumn Retreat at The dOMe

Saturday November 29 | 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Investment: $189 | Limited to 8 sacred souls ⚛️

As the final leaves fall and the tapestry of autumn weaves itself into the stillness of winter, we are invited to soften… to listen… to arrive in the deep pause that awaits.

Join us for a day of gentle restoration and sacred connection — a space to connect by consciously disconnecting, to honour the body, nourish the soul, and embrace stillness as ceremony.

This immersive wellness journey includes:
🌿 Guided Yoga Flow — movement in rhythm with breath and season
🌲 Cedar & Pine Brushing Ritual — a grounding nature-inspired practice to awaken circulation, release stagnation, and invite the forest’s energy into the body before the sauna
🔥 Sauna Ceremony — elemental warmth for deep cellular renewal
💆‍♀️ Head Massage & Sound Bath — surrender into vibration and touch
💎 Crystal Chakra Alignment — energetic harmony and inner recalibration
🍲 Ayurveda-Inspired Lunch — mindful, intentional nourishment
🕯️ Journaling & Reflection — embracing silence as wisdom

Together, we’ll move through the art of slowing down — holding one another in the highest form of connection and release, awakening the quiet knowing that arrives with winter’s deep reset.

Give yourself permission to pause, to be pampered, and to weave your spirit back into wholeness.

✨ Only 8 spaces available for this intimate experience.
Reserve your place in this circle of serenity and renewal.
