Honoring Your Ancestors

Oct 28, 2025

Samhain, Altars, and the Ancestral Portal

As we move into the darker half of the year, the energy of Samhain (pronounced “SOW-in”) invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the ones who came before us.

Samhain is an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter — a time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Across cultures, this sacred season has always been a portal for ancestor connection, release, and renewal.

The Ancestor Portal Workshop is a guided experience to help you:

  • Learn the spiritual history and meaning of Samhain
  • Build your own ancestral altar at home
  • Perform a releasing ritual to clear old patterns
  • Reconnect with your lineage — both known and unseen

 

This isn’t about religion or tradition — it’s about remembrance.
It’s about honoring where you come from, healing what you’ve inherited, and creating a bridge between your past and your future.

Whether you know your ancestral story or not, this workshop will help you open to their wisdom, love, and protection in a grounded, gentle way.

Workshop Details:

Date: Today, October 28th, 7 pm EST
Location: Virtual in the LiveYinsa Collective
Exchange: Pay what you want, (minimum $1)

 Join the the Ancestral Portal

The veil is thin, but love is stronger than time.

Let’s step through the ancestor portal together and remember who we truly are.

With love,

Daniele

They thought I was wasting food.
Hello Beautiful Souls, This summer I brought a box of pasta into the orphanage in La Romana. We painted it and glued it onto clay and foam to make little oceans. The littles loved it. The older kids were horrified. "This is food. You're wasting food." They weren't wrong. At FONICRIS, every meal is rice, beans, and chicken or pork, mostly whatever Goya drops off. Every single day. When food is t...
All Inclusive vs. Villa: What I Learned at Moon Palace Punta Cana
I just got back from a Fora fam trip at Moon Palace Punta Cana, and I have a lot of feelings. Let me start with what this resort does well, because it does a lot well. Kids stay free. That alone changes the math for families. It's the biggest resort in Punta Cana, and on price it comes in much better than the Hyatt Ziva. There's a toddler water park and a big kid water park. The kids camp is tw...
The Challenge I Have Been Working On For YEARS.
Hello Beautiful Souls, At the beginning of this summer, I had a conversation with a woman in the collective that took me out. She was articulate, deeply self-aware, and had clearly done years of inner work. She could name every pattern, trace every wound back to its origin, and describe with surgical precision the exact moment her boundaries collapsed in any given situation.  Then, she said wha...
