Dušičky, the Czech All Saints’ Day, literally means “little souls”. People here once filled their lamps with butter that night, so souls on a night’s leave from purgatory could soothe their burns. Today we light a candle and don’t mention death for another year.

Dřevjeno’s last community gathering of 2026 mentions it. Fire and food in the garden from 5PM, then two talks in Pluto: one on cemeteries and architecture by Tobiáš Hrabec, followed by living with ones mortality and the rituals around it by Gabriela Doubek.

The music runs from hypnotic, deep techno in the dark of Ankali through more upbeat grooves in Planeta Za to the dreamy, contemplative worlds of ambient in Pluto. The night closes our first Edenist cycle; then we hibernate. Back in spring. It’s worked for bears so far.

Food, drinks, warmth and talks. Dancing till the morning. Lights and atmo. Our own Dřevjeno Pack of Alchemists and you, our community.
