About This Adventure

Join author Roxie Zwicker for a magical evening celebrating Samhain, where you'll explore mysteries and traditions in a serene Labyrinth room. Create a spirit altar, craft an ancestral spirit bottle, and enjoy a guided meditation. Experience personal card readings and deepen your connection with the season of transformation and remembrance.

Join author and Mystery Maven Roxie Zwicker for an enchanted evening exploring the mysteries, traditions and magic of the Samhain. Gather in circle with us in our Labyrinth room as the ghostly veil to the other world is at its thinnest at this time. The fields are bare, the leaves have fallen from the trees, as the skies are going gray and a special energy moves through the air!

We will set up our spirit altar for you to bring something to place on it in memory of a beloved spirit. Enjoy a guided meditation to refresh and renew your spirit. We will craft an ancestral spirit bottle for your sacred space, all supplies will be included in the workshop price. Each guest will also have a card pulled for them and read by Roxie from a seasonal deck.

Make your season of transformation and ancestors more meaningful, during this spirited session.
