Samhain Celebration at the river Park in Springdale
Join Zion Guru for a mystical evening under the stars as we celebrate Samhain with breath taking river view surrounded by the majestic cliffs of Zion National Park. There is a short hike to our gathering spot, so plan for a bit of movement.
Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Traditionally celebrated from October 31st to November 1st, it’s believed that during this time, the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest — a perfect time for reflection, honoring ancestors, and welcoming transformation.

Fun Samhain Facts:
Samhain is the origin of many modern Halloween traditions, including costumes and carved pumpkins (originally turnips!).
It was once believed that during Samhain, spirits and fairies roamed freely — offerings were left out to appease them.
The word “Samhain” means “Summer’s End” in Gaelic, symbolizing both an ending and a beginning.
Come dressed warmly and bring a blanket to sit on, an open heart, and experience the magic of this seasonal shift in community and ceremony. Whether you’re new to Samhain or honoring ancestral roots, this is a night to remember.
