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.

Ostara is a celebration of the Vernal Equinox, marking the literal and symbolic transition into the Season of Light. Associated with the planting of seeds and welcoming a period of growth, warmth, renewal, and expansion, it marks the beginning of the Sun’s waxing ascent to the Summer Solstice. In this ceremony we recognize and offer gratitude to the lessons of Winter’s darkness just passed, plant the seeds of our intentions into fertile soil, and formally step into the light ahead. Participants are invited to bring a drum, rattle, or other hand-held instrument (we will have plenty extra to share) to help usher in the warmth of Spring.

• 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.

At the Fall Equinox, we feel palpably the return of the Great Cycle, as we transition from the “light” to “dark” season. At the juncture of this great transition, is a significant energetic portal, one in which we honor the path behind, and make important choices for the direction ahead. In this ceremony we will honor the energy of conscious transition and stepping through the “portal of authenticity”. Participants are invited to bring in their hearts something in their life that requires a significant choice or transition, which we will energetically work with during the ceremony.
