OUR TWENTY TWENTY FIVE THEME IS

Honouring our foremothers

Those who are remembered, live.

This year, we gather beneath the veil of remembrance to honour the ones who came before: the foremothers, the rebels, the wayshowers.

This is not just a theme.

It is a living altar.

Dia de los Muertos

As a Tribe of many faces, colours, and ancestries, we celebrate this richness, not as outsiders looking in, but as a collective honouring what we are PART OF directly or through shared humanity.

The timing of our event, aligning with Samhain, All Saints’ Day, and Día de los Muertos, underscores this shared heritage.

We celebrate culture as a bridge between us, not a wall. By doing so, we honour not only our bloodlines but the vast and beautiful diversity of human expression.

WHY THIS THEME?

In a world that moves fast and forgets easily,

we choose to pause.

To bring our ancestors, blood, spirit, and collective,

into the field of Sistahood Rising.

This is not just about Mexican tradition it's about global ancestral honouring, through the lens of a particular sacred practice.

Acknowledgement of Dia de los Muertos origins, with gratitude and recognition to the Latinx and Indigenous peoples of Mexico who have kept this tradition alive through colonisation and suppression.

Why this theme was chosen now, and how it speaks to grief, remembrance, and matriarchal memory in a collective healing context.

To Remember

This is not a costume. Not theatre.
Our Día de los Muertos theme is offered with deep respect — inspired by, not appropriating, this sacred Mexican tradition.

We honour the Latinx and Indigenous peoples of Mexico, whose remembrance practices have survived colonisation and erasure. In reverence, we have engaged Latinx women within our community to help guide and inform this offering.

This is not aesthetic — it is ancestral.

We believe remembrance is universal, and this theme opens a shared portal into grief, love, and legacy across all cultures. It invites us to honour the foremothers, the rebels, the ones who walked before, not through spectacle, but through sacred embodiment.

Throughout the weekend, this remembrance is not just symbolic — it is embodied through workshops that support deeper integration: journeys of ancestral healing, ritual voice, death conversations, and embodied remembrance. In sacred spaces like Ancestral Heart Songs, Awaken Your Ancestral Wisdom, and Sacred Remembrance, women are invited to reconnect with their lineage, hands, and voices — to walk with their dead and reclaim what was once severed.

This is not a performance. It is a procession of memory and reverence.
A return to what we carry in our bones.

The Feminine Archetypes We Are Weaving In

Alongside honouring La Santa Muerte, we are also weaving in threads from our own ancestral lineages,

Welsh, Cornish, and Māori, calling on the

who have walked with our people through the veil.

From Hine-nui-te-pō, Māori goddess of death and night, to Cerridwen, Welsh keeper of the cauldron of transformation, and the Cornish sea-witches and bone women, guardians of tide and threshold, each holds a sacred key.

This is not a blending into sameness, but a convergence of distinct portals — each one guiding us back to the truth that death is a return, not a disappearance.

Feminine Death Keepers

You are invited to walk with us, in reverence, in reclamation & in memory.
Whether your ancestors were silenced, celebrated, or forgotten...
This is your portal to remember.
Bring your photos. Your stories. Your whispers.
