Beltane is a celebration of fertility, community, love, merriment, and ecstatic joy. We find ourselves renewed warmth and sunshine of Spring in its full glory, and the wildness within is ready to play!

Perhaps the most recognizable of the traditional pagan holidays, Beltaine celebrates the mid-point between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice.  In this ceremony we will celebrate the joy and exuberance of the season with ecstatic dance. Participants are invited to bring a drum or rattle to add to the beat as they are called. This is an opportunity to lay aside any hangups you may have around being a “dancer” and give yourself an opportunity to express yourself authentically and safely through movement.

This celebration coincides with our monthly Kin Circle and we’re looking forward to a joyous day together celebrating life!

Encouraged to arrive by 12:30pm to have time to park and land before the ceremony begins.

• Lughnasadh is the traditional “first harvest” festival, celebrating the early bounty of our gardens, and the land, and the abundance of the growing season. We honor the Earth for her many gifts and offer deep gratitude for the richness of our lives and our relationship with the land. In this ceremony, the theme of gratitude will be central, through song, prayer, and celebration. We invite you to bring a small offering from your garden (or local land) to offer back to the Earth in gratitude, and a potluck dish, featuring home or locally  grown produce to share in community after the ceremony. For those who are inspired bring (or write) a short poem that may be read, honoring the gifts of the earth.
