The Hedge School presents
Sundays, Oct 26 | Nov 02 | Nov 09
7pm Irish | 2pm ET | 11am PT
A rite of passage awaits.
Are you ready to cross the threshold?
Winter is coming. The veils are thinning. The Crone is calling.
Samhain (Sow-in) marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. This sacred threshold invites us to honour endings and prepare for what’s to come.
Right now, we are in a collective Samhain. The old world is dying; the new one not yet born. We walk the in-between as systems collapse and ancestral wounds resurface.
Samhain is the portal of womb and tomb, where life and death, seen and unseen, meet and commune. The Crone calls us to cross into the darkness and to remember that death is the doorway to renewal.
This is your invitation to meet the darkness with courage, to remember who you are, and to rise as an ancestor-in-training.
If you feel that call stirring, this gathering is for you.
with Dragún; Medicine Woman, Ceremonialist & Grandmother trained in Irish & Native American Indigenous traditions
with Tree Carr; Dream guide, Death Doula, Mystic, Esoteric Educator, Author, Singer, Filmmaker & Musician
with Pat McCabe / Weyakpa Najin Win / Woman Stands Shining; Diné (Navajo) Mother, Activist, Artist & Ceremonial Leader
She is calling us to cross into the darkness.
We are here for the work of the soul.
To tend ancestral wounds and plant seeds for those yet to come. To nurture intergenerational healing and awaken resilience. To stand in remembrance and resistance.
This is our moment to meet the fire in our bellies and the collective fire of transformation.
It is time to rekindle our hearth and hearts.
Beyond the Veil is a trilogy of Samhain-inspired immersive gatherings guided by wise women. Together, we journey through the creative cycle of death and rebirth. This is a communal rite of passage to meet the darkness, release what no longer serves and remember what truly matters.
This experience is open to all, especially if you are among the 80 million worldwide who carry Irish roots. Whether you hold silence, exile, loss or longing in your story, this work welcomes you home.
When you step into Beyond the Veil, you enter an ancestral current that reconnects you with what is most sacred. A return to what your bones already know: your body, your belonging and your place in the great turning of the world.
This is your invitation to surrender to the wisdom of the dark, to listen for ancestral guidance and to rise in resilience.
"Nothing makes the light, the wonder, the treasure stand out so well as darkness.”
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Beyond the Veil is an immersive journey designed to guide you through the cycles of death and rebirth in yourself, your creative life force and your role as an ancestor-in-training.
Each Sunday, you will step into a carefully held container of ritual, story and embodiment, supported by artists, storytellers and visionaries as we step into the fertile darkness of the Witch’s New Year.
You’ll be guided through a process to awaken your mythic imagination and help you to alchemize the wounds and wisdom held in your lineage.
✦ 3 live immersive gatherings (recordings available)
✦ Guided storytelling, song & ritual practices
✦ Creative writing prompts to awaken your imagination
✦ Breathwork & embodiment tools to root into the season
✦ Ancestral remembrance practices & healing rituals
✦ Access to ‘ The Vault’ for Samhain inspired guided sessions
✦ Curated seasonal care packages with intel & resources
✦ A global community of kindred spirits.
Beyond the Veil is more than a course.
It’s an initation.
Our peoples have survived war, famine, exile and displacement. We carry unresolved trauma and soul wounds and we are also rooted in resilience. Our bodies are portals to ancestral burdens and blessings. We can feel it in our bellies. We can feel it in our bones. Samhain invites us to tend to our hearths, to co-sense what it means to live in right-relationship with our ancestral allies and to step into our role as a future ancestor.
Beyond the Veil is a sacred trilogy crafted with soul, ceremony and story. In a world of disconnection, this is a call to return to yourself, to your ancestors and to the Earth herself.
What is the value of honouring this sacred threshold with intention?
What is the cost of ignoring the deep need to pause, reflect, and release?
Join us and step into your role as an ancestor-in-training.
Together we’ll reconcile the past, receive the present and reimagine the future.
✦ Release what no longer serves you
✦ Receive the wisdom of the Crone / Cailleach
✦ Reconnect with your roots and ancestral inheritance
✦ Heal intergenerational wounds and claim ancestral gifts
✦ Rekindle your hearth and reimagine the future
✦ Step into the work of becoming a good ancestor
This is not about bypassing the dark. It’s about meeting it with courage, reverence and heart.
By the end of this journey, you’ll feel more grounded, connected and creatively alive.
You’ll know how to tend your inner hearth through the long winter ahead.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to reconnect with your roots, to find meaning in uncertain times, or to remember the deeper rhythm beneath the noise: this is your sign.
The invitation is open. The fire is lit.
Step beyond the veil.
“Hedge School was a hugely enjoyable experience and interesting perspective on the world around us. I found practical knowledge and insights from a such a diverse range of guides that I can bring into my everyday life and work. Looking forward to the next Hedge School already.”
Michael, Dublin, Hedge School Participant
“The Hedge School opens doors to realms for me that I did not have access to before. It gives me a deeper connection to Ireland which I am yearning for, it gives me a fresh perspective of how to create and work for change that feels fulfilling and valuable in my life.. I am learning that we all have the power to learn, heal, create, change and shape the world we live in.”
