SAMHAIN RITUAL: SHAMANIC JOURNEY, BREATHWORK & SOUND HEALING

SAMHAIN RITUAL: SHAMANIC JOURNEY, BREATHWORK & SOUND HEALING acontece a 31 de outubro de 2026, Art and Spirituality :Yoga, em Gorgie.

Join us from WilWellbeing for a deeply immersive Samhain gathering , honouring the turning of the wheel and the transition into the darker half of the year. Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter in the Celtic tradition. It is a time of transition, reflection, release, remembrance and renewal. Traditionally, Samhain is associated with the veil between worlds becoming thinner. Rather than focusing on the mystical aspect alone, this gathering offers an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, reflect on what we are ready to release, honour where we have been, and consciously create space for what comes next. Through breathwork, ritual, shamanic drumming, guided journeying and an immersive sound healing experience , we will create a sacred and supportive space for reflection, creativity, connection and integration. ✨ Meet Your Practitioners Ana – Fairy Tale Therapies Ana is a holistic practitioner and founder of Fairy Tale Therapies, with around ten years of experience in holistic wellbeing and personal healing work.

You will then be guided through breathwork to help settle the body, focus the mind and deepen your awareness before entering the Shamanic Journey. The Shamanic Journey will be guided through rhythmic drumming and visualisation, creating space for personal imagery, symbolism, insight and reflection. Following the journey, we will move into an integrated Samhain ritual and creative nature-based practice . You may be invited to connect with elements from nature and use them symbolically within a collective mandala, representing what you wish to honour, release or welcome as you move into a new chapter. We will then transition into a deeply immersive Sound Journey , allowing the experience to settle and integrate through vibration, rhythm and sound. The evening will close with time to reconnect, share reflections if you wish, and enjoy some refreshments together. 🔔 Sound Journey The Sound Journey may include: • Gong • Tibetan Singing Bowls • Shamanic Drum • Koshi Chimes • Tingsha Bells • Rain Stick • Rattles • Voice and toning • Other therapeutic and ceremonial sound instruments You do not need any previous experience with breathwork, shamanic journeying, meditation or sound healing. 🧘 What to Bring Please bring: • Water bottle • Notebook or journal and pen (optional) • Eye mask / blindfold (optional but recommended) Provided at the venue: • Yoga mats • Bolsters • Cushions ⚠️ Important Information & Contraindications This experience includes breathwork, rhythmic shamanic drumming, gong and sound healing, guided visualisation, meditation and periods of deep relaxation.
