There will be rituals, workshops, drumming, dancing and great vegetarian food. Womyn of all ages and all backgrounds are welcome.Samhain (pronounced sah-wen) is the time after harvest when things have died or are in a deep trance state, the time to remember ancestors and elders who have passed on.  Each year wonderful activities are planned for girls aged 4 and older.  Teenagers may choose to participate in or help with the children’s programming, or join the adult activities.  The WomynSpirit Festival is a women-only, alcohol, chemical and fragrance-free event, organized and run by a non-profit collective of volunteers.  Information and registration forms: (416-481-7634 or 416-516-8280; or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Time to get messy! This is a time for kids, families and the young at heart to gather together for snacks, stories, play, and ritual celebrating the great story of life on earth. We might remember we are stardust or swim in the river of life.
