ROCKPORT — For Rebeccah Pearson of Rockport’s Apothecary Suil Crow, Oct. 30 is all about reaching out.
Pearson, who runs the town’s metaphysical emporium, said a planned gathering will bring “mystery, connection and divination in a ritual séance that has been performed by practitioners (for) hundreds of years.”
Pearson will be hosting a “Silent Supper” in Rockport on Oct. 30 — with the goal of connecting with those who have passed. The gathering, to be held at Emerson By The Sea, will begin at 6 p.m. and include “a journey into the realms of the dead and (dining) with the living and departed.”
The Silent Supper is a dinner held to honor and commune with those who have died and it is usually held on the eve or on the day of Halloween. Talking during the meal will be prohibited.
Pearson encourages those interested in attending to book their seats in advance.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to invite the public to a ritual performed by many individuals through many religions,” she said. “We welcome guests at the end to stay and talk with others about what they experienced during the dinner. We look forward to opening the veil with the public once again and connecting with loved ones during this special time.”
Pearson said people may book seats to the gathering on the Apothecary Suil Crow Facebook events page.
Apothecary Suil Crow is located at 9 Whistlestop Mall in Rockport and Emerson By The Sea is located at 1 Cathedral Ave., also in Rockport.
