At The Mount Without on Upper Church Lane in Bristol, Samhain Portal: Ecstatic Dance, Ancestor Ritual & Live Sound Bath brought people together for an afternoon of movement, ceremony and live music. The gathering featured an ancestor ritual, dance sets and sound healing, accompanied by flute music and singing.
Those who attended spoke warmly of the venue and the uplifting music, describing how the shared ritual left them feeling light, energised and deeply connected. For many, taking part offered a welcome lift in spirits after arriving tired. However, some felt the space became overly crowded, with too much chatter spilling onto the dancefloor. A few participants suggested keeping social areas separate from the main floor, creating clearer boundaries for the ritual, and perhaps adding more heartfelt songs to the playlist for future gatherings.
