We're raising money for the expenses associated with our annual Samhain Ceremony.

You could make a bigger contribution to sponsor (all or part of) the effigy, flowers and candles, kettle and stew, or the local roasted meat. (Costs listed below. These do not include labor, just supplies.)

If you're making a one-time contribution for the event, the suggested contribution is $40-100.

You can also become a Sustainer by making a regular monthly contribution here.

Sponsor part of the ceremony.

Effigy / Altar / Platform = $800

Iron kettle (for a big vegetarian stew, can reuse every year) = $450

Lamb (TBD)

Flowers & Candles = ~ $250 (gifts of home-grown flowers are also welcome)

This year, the effigy will be built by Jonathan Baxter. We are dedicating it to our beloved friend Rainbow Michael who passed a little over a week ago. He was one of Julia's and Scott's business partners in their fire hoop and flow arts company, Synergy FlowArts. His remains will be buried at Heartward Sanctuary later this Fall or in the Spring. Contributions are welcome to help us make the altar and effigy supportive to his send-off.

Thank you for supporting this ritual to honor our loved ones who've flown home.
