Join us for a Griha Pravesh Puja (Prayer) for Protection & Prosperity and Our Ancestor Altar Co-Creation!

Led by Santyna of The Witch’s Therapist, this gathering is rooted in her ancestral relationship with Sanātana Dharma - a pre-colonial sacred way of life originating in the Indian subcontinent, emphasizing timeless spiritual principles. This gathering is an intentional blessing of the space.

Together, we will gather in puja and meditation, calling on Ganesha to remove obstacles and welcome in a new beginning, Lakshmi to bless our community and space with abundance and beauty, and Kali Ma for fierce protection, justice, discernment, and cutting through illusion.

This gathering will also mark the beginning of an Ancestoral Altar within The Witch’s Cottage: a space for devotion, remembrance, lineage, and the presence of those who protect and walk with us. 

Santyna will provide all ritual items, including rose water, rice, milk, sugar, salt, fruit, and chuni/head coverings.

Guests are invited to bring an ancestral object, symbol, or offering to place on the altar in honour of their lineage, healed ancestors, or sacred traditions as well as any object they wish to leave on the ancestor altar. Those that remain will be tended to at The Witch’s Cottage regularly by the team and community members as desired and can be removed at any time.
