Pan's Picnic: The Ancestors Edition

A special non-Halloween Halloween gathering for those over the hype of cheap costumes, questionable masks, and American candy.

PANS PICNIC: Honoring the Ancestors
Community Ritual + Seasonal Potluck
Sunday, November 1st / Turia / Sunset

Following the success of Pan's Picnic with Shamagika at Esoteric Expats, we are happy to invite you to the Ceremony honoring the Ancestors of Valencia and our own personal lineage.

In cultures around the world, this is traditionally a time of year to honor the Spirits of the Dead. Magically, it is considered the ending of the annual cycle, a time to contemplate the coming winter and energetically fortify ourselves, discarding and banishing any unwanted elements as we metaphysically journey through the Underworld towards the Spring. Feel free to read more about the various festivals and traditions related to this threshold on the Esoteric Expats Substack.

LOCATION
We'll meet at 'Ruinas Romanas y Visigodas' inside the Turia park. This fascinating site is located at the level of Calle de Boix between the bridges of Trinitat and Real.

PROGRAM
- A talk on the magical significance of this season, its symbolic meaning and how to best work it towards wellness and fruition of your ideas.
- An open circle to collectively honor those that have past over, sharing in our grief and joys together, as we celebrate the lives of the Muertos.
- A beautiful Ceremony to honor the Ancestors.
- Potluck
