Join us for a Griha Pravesh Puja (Prayer) and Ancestor Altar Co-Creation at The Witch’s Cottage on March 21st, 12:00pm-1:30pm
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, prayer, and practice that many people today encounter through the language of “Hinduism.” 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 the cottage 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 ancestor altar within the 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.
