All Souls Gathering

A day of creativity, nature, ritual, and reflection designed to help grief be expressed, witnessed, and transformed into beauty.

Hosted at Blanch Ranch, a private creative retreat and natural sanctuary, this immersive workshop offers a meaningful way to honor grief, navigate life transitions, and cultivate resilience through creativity, nature, and ritual. Participants will be guided through a hands-on altar-building practice using gathered natural materials, creating space for reflection, remembrance, and renewal. Rooted in Joyology and inspired by the Morning Altars methodology, the experience combines individual and communal altar creation, storytelling, prayer, and ceremony to transform emotion into something tangible, beautiful, and deeply personal.
