Ailsa Keppie • November 13, 2021

The festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) or Halloween falls on October 31st and marked the beginning of the yearly cycle for Celtic peoples.This was a time of death and the promise of re-birth, a time for stillness and reflection. It was understood that in the dark silence comes whisperings of new beginnings, the stirring of the seed beneath the ground.

We have successfully got occupancy for the basement level of the barn!! We are beyond excited to begin seeing clients in our dedicated treatment space. We look forward to welcoming you to our space. Ailsa will be expanding her offerings to include hot stone massage, fascial facial treatments, hot wax hand treatments (great for arthritis), couples massage, and combined sound/ relaxation massage as well as her Somatic Coaching options. Declan is offering Chi Nei Tsang (a Daoist abdominal massage),and Lomi lomi massage. Please ask if you have a request, we are happy to customize your treatment.


Turning Inward - Tuesday Evenings

As we approach the winter solstice we are called to turn inward and reflect on our connection to spirit. These drop in weekly sessions are open to anyone wanting to join us. Each week there will be a topic and some activities to do solo and together, with sharing in the circle as we share our wisdom with each other. Ailsa will be facilitating and there is a suggested donation of $20 per week. We will finish on December 21st with a celebration. RSVP to ourceltichearth@gmail.com so we can plan numbers (max 8-10 people) 7-9pm Tuesday evenings at Our Celtic Hearth. please plan to arrive on time
