Samhain Remembrance Circle: A Ritual to Connect with the Wisdom of our Ancestors with May Bartlett

Join us in circle on October 29th when the veil between worlds is thinnest. Halloween, traditionally Samhain, is a time to remember who we are and where we come from. If we look at the word “remember” we see that it is a process of “re” and “membering,” re-membering what has been forgotten by putting the pieces back together. Through guided meditation, oracle cards, and community ritual we’ll call forth the wisdom of our ancestors to guide us on our soul path and learn ways to strengthen our relationship with those who came before us - It’s time to remember the ancestral wisdom that lives on in our very bones. Please arrive a few minutes early. Circle will begin at 6pm. You’re welcome to bring anything for our shared ancestor altar or just bring yourself. All experience levels welcome. About May Bartlett: May Bartlett is the founder of CiRCLE, a home to nourish your soul through ritual. She’s a professional facilitator and master certified coach with a masters degree in East/West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. For the past decade she’s guided individuals and groups through inner and collective transformation. She’s particularly drawn to spaces that alchemize personal passion, collective magic, and community contribution. She believes our modern ways of being in the world are out of alignment with our truest selves, each other, and the planet. She seeks to right those relationships through processes that question the status quo and reimagine what’s possible for our human existence on this earth.

He has studied and lived in India, Japan, and the USA.
