Event

Spiral Dance

The holiday we call Halloween is also celebrated as All Soul's Day, Dia de los Muertos, and Samhain. It's a time when people gather to remember and honor their ancestors, beloved dead, and those who have touched our lives. We honor the sacred cycle of life, death, rebirth and regeneration. Some call this holiday the Witches New Year, and we take this opportunity to envision what we want to bring into being in the coming year. Together we will dance in a Spiral to renew our dreams and create the future.

This is a participatory ritual and pageant with music, dancing, poetry, and magic, with people from many walks of life joining the circle. There are beautiful altars to look at, and opportunities to connect with others. Bring your open heart and your imagination.

The event is also a fundraiser for the Reclaiming community. The first Spiral Dance ritual was held in 1979 to celebrate the publication of Starhawk's book, The Spiral Dance (Harper and Row)
