Altar Workshop:
Honoring Ancestors, Making Peace with Impermanence
A live 2-hour online workshop
Saturday, October 24
1pm ET / 10am PT
Samhain is the turning of the year, a time to honor our ancestors and release what no longer serves us.
There's a reason so many traditions mark this time of year with remembrance.
The veil is thin,
the leaves are letting go, and something in us wants to sit with the ones who came before.
In this workshop,
I'll teach you how to build a personal altar —
where to place it
what belongs on it
how to choose objects that hold meaning instead of just decoration.
I've had altars for decades, many kinds, for many reasons, and I'll walk you through my own altar to my grandmother as a living example of what this can look like.
We'll also sit with
the Buddha's Five Remembrances —
simple, direct teachings on aging, illness, loss, and change — as a way of understanding why this practice matters, not just how to do it.
This isn't about believing anything in particular. It's about giving yourself permission to honor what's passed and what's passing.
You'll leave with:
A personal altar you've built yourself, with items that matter to you
A take-home PDF guide for creating your own collective/nature altar as an ongoing seasonal practice
A recording, so you can return to this any time grief or impermanence asks to be met again
A materials list will be sent ahead of time — nothing complicated, mostly things you already have or can gather on a short walk.
Early bird: $49 through September 30th → $59 after
