Samhain Gathering & Fire Ceremony​​

​Samhain Gathering & Fire Ceremony​​

Saturday 1st November 2025 | 12pm – 8pm (arrive from 11:45am) 
Dunkeld £95 - BOOK ONLINE

Step into the ancient magic of Samhain — the Celtic festival that marks the end of harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year.

A time to honour ancestors, release what no longer serves, and plant seeds for new beginnings.

Join us for a full day of story, fire, breath, and transformation as we gather in community to celebrate this turning of the wheel — moving from reflection into renewal. Guided by storyteller Fiona Ferguson and shamanic practitioner Dr. Isla Fishburn, the day will culminate in a powerful firewalk ceremony, honouring the courage, connection, and transformation that Samhain invites.


What to Expect (order of events may change)

🔥 Opening Fire Ceremony – Together we will build and tend the fire, offering gratitude and connecting with the spirit of the land.

🔥 Sacred Teachings & Shamanic Drum Journey – Exploring the “fires” of our lives — the wounds, lessons, and gifts they hold — followed by a guided journey inward to connect with your inner flame.

💃 Intuitive Movement – Expressing, feeling, and embodying the energy of your fire through free movement.
📖 Storytelling with Fiona Ferguson – Fiona, a storyteller, doula, and energy healer, will share Samhain myths and the beloved tale of Stone Soup, reminding us of the power of generosity and community.
🌬 Gentle Breathwork Journey – A guided session to release what no longer serves and open space for clarity and vision.
🥣 Stone Soup Shared Meal – After hearing the story, we’ll share warming soup and bread together, embodying its message of connection.
🤫 Silent Conversation with Fire – Listening deeply to the messages and medicine that the fire holds for you.
🏹 Arrow Break – Speaking your deserving statements and breaking through limitation.
🔥 Firewalk with Dr. Isla Fishburn – A powerful rite of passage and courage, marking the transformation of the day as you walk the fire in ceremony.
🌀 Integration & Closing – We’ll return to the fire to reflect, ground, and embody what has been released, received, and ignited.

“It is difficult to put into words how enthralling and moving the experience was… I felt more at peace by the end of the day than I have felt in a very long time, and that feeling has stayed with me.”

Recharge - ​Sundays​​


A gentle start to your Sunday – movement, breath, and connection.

What’s Included:

  • Gentle restorative yoga or Qi Gong to release tension and invite deep rest
  • Downregulating breathwork (10–40 mins) to soothe your nervous system
  • Shared breakfast for some chat and grounding
