Perhaps the most recognizable of the traditional pagan holidays, Beltaine celebrates the mid-point between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice. It is a celebration of fertility, community, love, merriment, and ecstatic joy. We find ourselves renewed warmth and sunshine of Spring in its full glory. We invite and welcome you to participate in the Beltaine celebration at Dreamland, home of the Green Mountain Druid School, in Worcester, VT.
Directions to Dreamland (Downs Road, Worcester, VT):
Take exit 8 (Montpelier) off Interstate 89 and follow signs for Rt. 12 North. You will go left at the 4th light which is also Main St. in Montpelier. Follow Main St. until you get to the rotary. Follow signs for Rt. 12 N. Once on 12 you will travel about 8 miles. Turn left onto Downs Rd. Look for a light-yellow farmhouse on the corner with brown trim. Please drive SLOWLY by this house as a courtesy to our sensitive neighbor! Follow Downs Road for about a mile. It is dirt and turns to class 4 (unmaintained) just before you get to our driveway. Beware of large rocks in low-clearance vehicles. If you do not have good clearance you may want to park on the right side of the road before it gets rough and walk in (1/4 of a mile walk). Please do not block the turn-around. If you drive in, you will see our green metal gates and Dreamland sign on the right.
More about The Stone Circle:
For many thousands of years, humans from land-honoring spiritual traditions have aligned their sacred ceremonies with the natural seasons and cycles of the Earth, the “Wheel of the Year” according to modern Pagan traditions. In many of these traditions, sacred sites of “standing stones”, Stone Circles, such as Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, mark sacred locations and the potent Earth energies therein to hold space for sacred ceremonial work.
In this series of offerings, Eyal Amiel invites you to join in the creation and cultivation of a living human “Stone Circle”, which we will energetically and spiritually hold in our ceremonial gatherings during the important seasonal transitions of the Wheel during 2024. Inspired by the spiritual practices and teachings of the modern Druid tradition, we will come together in ceremony across the seasons, to honor and celebrate the natural rhythms of the Earth, and invite the ebbs and flows of the natural world to speak to our Spirit, and guide and hold us in our own inward growth and evolution.
