Honouring the first harvest

As Lughnasadh marks the beginning of the harvest season, we gather to acknowledge what has come to fruition and what is ready to be gathered.

Traditionally observed in early August, Lughnasadh is a time to honour labour, ripening, and the quiet satisfaction of work brought to completion. It invites reflection on what has grown through the summer and what we are preparing to carry forward.

This community dinner offers a relaxed evening to share food and conversation with others walking the path of end-of-life care and community work.

The gathering creates space to:

• Reflect on what has matured in our work and lives

• Share lessons from the season of growth

• Strengthen relationships across the ABE community

• Mark the seasonal turning together

There is no formal agenda. The evening is warm, grounded, and relational. Conversation unfolds naturally over a shared meal.

Space is intentionally limited to preserve intimacy.
