About The Event
As the season turns toward Samhain—often recognized today through Halloween—join us for a small, in-person afternoon of slowing down, making with your hands, and creating incense cones to take home.
Samhain, traditionally observed around October 31 through November 1, is associated with the close of the harvest season and the beginning of winter in Gaelic tradition. It is often held as a time of transition, remembrance, reflection, and honoring the threshold between what has been and what is coming next. We will briefly explore some of this seasonal and historical context together, then use it as a gentle invitation to work with scent, smoke, and personal intention.
During the gathering, you will craft your own handmade incense cones using a selection of herbs and resins. You can choose ingredients intuitively, work with a personal intention, or simply enjoy the tactile, creative process. The experience is designed to be calm, approachable, and meaningful—without being heavy, performative, or prescriptive.
No prior experience with incense making, ritual, Samhain, or any spiritual practice is needed.
What to Expect
This is a small, relaxed afternoon gathering with space to create, reflect, and connect. Together, we will:
- Learn the basics of making handmade incense cones.
- Explore a curated selection of aromatic herbs and resins.
- Briefly discuss Samhain’s seasonal, historical, and spiritual associations, including reflection, remembrance, and transition.
- Make incense cones to take home for your own seasonal practice, quiet moments, or everyday enjoyment.
- Work at an unhurried pace in a supportive, welcoming setting.
- Spend time connecting, learning, and slowing down together.
All materials are provided.
Who This Is For
This gathering may be a good fit if you:
- Enjoy hands-on creative experiences with a thoughtful seasonal focus.
- Are curious about incense, herbs, scent, or creating personal rituals.
- Would like a low-pressure way to acknowledge Samhain or the Halloween season more intentionally.
- Prefer small, calm spaces over large or high-energy events.
- Want to leave with something tangible and personal to use at home.
This is an all inclusive space. You are welcome whether you identify as Pagan, witchy, spiritual, curious, secular, or simply interested in a quiet afternoon of making something beautiful. There is no expectation to share personal beliefs, explain your practice, or participate in anything that does not feel right for you.
About the Facilitator
Hi, I’m Megan, the founder of Wayfinding Ritual. I host small gatherings and work one-on-one with women who are navigating life transitions, through ritual and intentional practices so they can integrate healing into everyday life. My approach is grounded and practical using ritual as integration, not as an escape from life more of a way of meeting healing with clarity and care.
