Samhain with L.A. Reclaiming
November 4, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
$15
Join us in the waning days of Samhaintide, as we deepen into the Underworld side of the year together. With our community of witches, we will come together to celebrate our beloved dead and our ancestors of blood and craft, we will send our blessings into the future, and we will dance into the Witches’ New Year hand in hand. Join us when the veil is thin between the worlds of the living and the dead, and when potent magic may be worked to change all the worlds.

Your entry fee allows us to support and continue to hold events at The Green Man, a small business that has served a wide community of LA witches for many years.
Reclaiming LA is committed to economic justice, and we recognize that this fee may pose a financial hardship for some of our community members. If you plan to attend the ritual and you are unable to pay the entry fee, we welcome you to email info@reclaimingla.org, and we will add you to a list of those who will receive free entry to the ritual space. No questions will be asked, and there is no need to provide justification for your request.

ACCESSIBILITY
The ritual space is on mostly even concrete in the open-air backyard of the store. Access to the ritual space is level and wide enough for wheelchair access. Typically, accessing the ritual space requires going through the store, which does have strong scents, and accommodations can be made in advance to come in through the alleyway. The ritual space will have some light after dark, but it is minimal. Chairs are available for those needing to sit for part of or all of the ritual, and the ritual is structured to allow for participation also while seated.
Acoustics in the yard can be difficult with aircraft flying overhead; however, there are no constant loud noises, and the ritual is conducted with awareness of the ambient noise level to help with hearing. Very rarely, due to inclement weather (either heavy rain or wildfire smoke), the ritual is moved to an indoor space which is up a flight of stairs with no wheelchair access. If we need to make this change to ritual location, we will announce it on the Reclaiming LA social media pages with as much advance notice as possible.
We have written this statement so that people with accessibility concerns do not have to do the labor of asking. If we have overlooked some aspect, please email us at info@reclaimingla.org, and we will do our utmost to answer – your question will help us to improve our accessibility statements on future rituals
