Join us for a evening of ancient tradition where the dead attend the living for a mystical silent dinner. This is going to be a dining experience that you will not want to miss!
We'll gather on November 1, when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be it's thinnest, allowing for more accessible communication with our departed spirits. The Dumb Supper is the age old ritual of inviting deceased loved ones to the table to enjoy a meal and commune with us as we eat in ABSOLUTE SILENCE. A special chair is set up at each table and a meal is presented to our special "guests". Everyone at the table will place 2 tealights at this place setting to invite your departed to join us.
You are welcome to bring an item that you wish to display in honor of your loved ones and to call them to join us. We'll have a candle lit table and fireplace mantle set up where you can place your trinkets and photos, an alter of sorts. Please keep items small so we can accomodate everyone's treasures.
Our intended agenda of the evening:
5:30 PM - Cocktail hour, cash bar. Writing station available for those who wish to write notes to your loved ones then put them into the bonfire to send your message by smoke to the Heavens. Set up your stuff on the memory table. 6:30 PM - Welcome and opening with a quick talk about the origins of the Dumb Supper, Samhain, All Souls Day, etc. Followed by a blessing and an invitation to the spirits to join us. 7:00 PM - SILENCE. Dinner is served. 7:30ish PM - Break the silence. Pass the crystal talking stick to share a quick story with your table companions about your departed loved ones. Did you have any supernatural experiences during the dinner? Do tell! 8:00 PM - Happy Hour Mix and mingle with your old and new friends to close out the evening.
Suggested attire is black or dark colors to keep with the vibe of the evening.
