Samhain Celebration
at JOY Retreat

An autumn evening of pumpkin carving, meditation, a homemade Bean Crock feast and tarot by the fire, inspired by the Celtic festival of Samhain
A celebration rooted in ancient Celtic culture, embracing the cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth. Guests gather for an evening inspired by Samhain, a traditional Celtic festival marking the turning of the seasons, honouring what has been and making space for what is to come.

The Samhain feast
Guests gather around the table for a nourishing homemade Bean Crock, served alongside wild mugwort sourdough bread. The meal finishes with a refreshing mugwort soda as a post-feast digestive.
Fire, tarot and storytelling
As darkness falls, everyone gathers around the fire to pull a tarot card, share stories, reflect on the season and enjoy the warmth of the flames and each other's company.
Autumnal magic
This is an evening for connecting with one's inner witch, nourishing oneself and embracing the magic of autumn.
