Program Description

Event Details

Everyone always says Happy Halloween, but nobody says "Why Halloween." Come hear about the origins of the holiday, a pagan celebration known as Samhain. Hear more about this from members of the Oak Spirit Sanctuary in Missouri.

Oak Spirit Sanctuary is a pagan church and sacred land preserve which provides opportunity for spiritual practice, fellowship, and communion with nature for people with diverse beliefs and a safe environment welcoming to all who would walk in peace.
