Obon Festival of Souls
August 14 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT

Many Intuitive Readers plus 15 Lectures
A traditional Japanese festival honoring the spirits of one’s ancestors, also known as the festival of the dead or the festival of souls. Based on a legend about a Buddhist monk who could see into the afterlife, and saved his deceased mother from going to hell by giving offerings. Having gained redemption for his mother, he danced in celebration, joined by others in a large circle (the Bon Odori dance).
Here, spirits aren’t to be frightened away. The custom is that the spirits of ancestors come out on Obon to visit their families, and are welcomed with the Bon Odori dance and traditional “meals” prepared for the spirits. The spirits are then guided home, sometimes with paper lanterns to light their way.
