An audio visit to the 32nd annual Spiral Dance, “A ritual to honor our beloved dead and dance the spiral of rebirth.”  Hallowe’en has become primarily a secular holiday but its roots are in a tradition that honors the Earth, the elements, and which acknowledges death as a portal, rather than as an ending. This episode includes interviews from The Spiral Dance in San Francisco where that tradition is alive.
