We’re in the final stretch and gearing up to open the gates on Samhain. Registration is built and will go live at launch. Between now and then, we’re polishing the experience for a smooth first week and a warm welcome.
Soft Launch — Samhain (October 31, 2025)
Registration opens and the experience goes live in early access. Expect rapid updates, fresh content, and community events as we refine with your feedback.
Full Launch — Imbolc (February 1, 2026)
A fully refined release shaped by soft-launch feedback. (Could be sooner if everything lands ahead of schedule.)
As we approach launch, we’ll publish a clear guide to features, community etiquette, and volunteer teams—including how to apply after soft launch—so the Sanctuary feels like home.
