🌒 Samhain: Honouring the Ancestors
As we move into Samhain (pronounced Sow-en), we cross the ancient Celtic threshold between the old year and the new. Marked from 31 October to 2 November, Samhain was a time when the veil between worlds grew thin, when the living could commune with the dead, and ancestors were honoured for their ongoing presence in our lives.
Long before Halloween, Samhain was a festival of remembrance and renewal. Fires were lit to guide souls home, food was left for the departed, and families gathered to honour those who had walked before them. It was a time to recognise the unseen threads connecting generations and to prepare for the inward, reflective months of winter.
In Family Constellations, we meet that same spirit, recognising that the living and the dead, the past and the present, coexist in a greater family field. When we remember and honour what came before, we restore flow, belonging, and peace.
This Tuesday 28 October, we gather in that Samhain spirit for the Monthly Family Constellation Circle at Subud Hall, Clifton.
✦ 6:30–9:30pm (doors open 6:30)
✦ £25-£35 Representative | £25 Concession Rep
✦ Just two circles remain this year — 25 Nov & 16 Dec
Becoming a representative isn’t a passive role — it’s an embodied way of connecting with something much larger than ourselves. Through movement, emotion, and subtle sensation, we may find ourselves standing for an ancestor, a family member, or an unseen dynamic that’s ready to be acknowledged.
It’s a profound way to experience this work — to feel how the body speaks what the mind doesn’t yet know.
Join us to sit in circle, listen to the field, and allow what wants to be seen, to be seen.
