COURSE
Walking With The Ancients: A Celtic Journey Through Samhain
With Dee Hennessy
Samhain is one of the great Celtic fire festivals, marking the turning of the year and the time when the veil between worlds is said to be thin. In this two-part course, you will first explore the ancient roots and meaning of Samhain, learning how it connects us with nature’s cycles and with the presence of our ancestors. Then, you’ll be guided through a simple yet powerful Samhain ritual to honour endings, release what no longer serves you, and plant seeds for the year ahead. This course is for anyone who longs to reconnect with Celtic wisdom, to find peace in cycles of death and rebirth, and to walk more deeply with the ancestors. No prior knowledge is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to pause and listen at the threshold of the new year. The sacred Gaelic chant called Air an Sionn used in this recording is with the kind permission of Céile Dé, an esoteric Celtic path of spiritual awakening. The words of this chant are: In the glow, In the Glow. I am bathing In the glow.

A deep and powerful connection to the ancestors and the peace and comfort of their presence. A time to gently release and embrace all of my life. A feeling of trust, protection and understanding has grown stronger as I listened to the quiet voice of Dee and the angelic singing. A profound experience. Thank you so much 🙏❤️

Breathing in I nourish the seed of peace. Breathing out I release fear. This was a beautiful practice for Samhain, and a beautiful course. It was very meaningful for me! Thank you Dee 🎃🔥🧡💛🍂🍂🍁🍁

I so enjoyed walking through this information and ritual. I have gained insight for expanding much of my own Samhain ritual traditions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and presence.

Dee’s soft and soothing voice, always just the right words, kindness that oozes out, a depth of compassion, she models what I can give myself and that is so very valuable on this path. Plus she knows what she’s talking about 😉 being Celtic-Irish! I loved exploring this universe and putting together a ritual I can come back to. Thanks Dee🙏🏼🩵

I am so grateful for this mini-course. At 20 months into Long COVID, I find myself in the midst of a major change and ending - applying for disability retirement from the public service job I loved. Your guidance, Dee, and the wisdom of Samhain will help me navigate this threshold with as much grace as I can. “This is the gift of Samhain. To honor what is past, to release with love, and to trust that new life is already stirring in the hidden soil of your being.“

I really enjoy connecting with Celtic traditions, including this one of Samhein. I enjoyed the course in one sitting, bathing in Dee’s words and music, while re-imagining my past, my ancestors, and envisioning seeds for new beginnings. Lovely and thank you! 🙏🏼
