Join us on Sunday September 22, 2024 at 4:00 pm for the First Day of Autumn and the Feast Day of Mabon!

In the spirit of the season, this ritual will focus on transforming loss into strength. We will honor Demeter the Great Mother Goddess of the Harvest and her daughter Persephone as she descends into the Underworld for the dark half of the year.

It’s a high feast day! Following the ritual we will enjoy a pitch-in meal. For the sake of ease, if your name begins with the letters A-N please bring an entrée dish, if your name begins with O-S please bring a vegetable or fruit dish, if your name begins with T-Z feel free to bring a dessert or snack food. Beverages will be provided (water & soft drinks).

Gathering and social time begins at 4:00pm. Pre-Ritual Intro's begins at at 4:20 pm, ritual starts at 4:45pm. Once the ritual has begun no late comers will be permitted to enter the room until the doors are opened again at the end of the ritual.
