About the event

~ Join us in sacred space to honour the turning of the wheel to the beginning of summer. ~

Beltane symbolizes the halfway point between the spring equinox (Ostara) and the summer solstice. Beltane means "bright fire" and marks the time when the veil is thinnest between this world and the otherworld; a time when magic is possible. 

During this gathering, we will come together as our ancestors have done for thousands of years. Our time will involve a central fire, collective altar, music/song, ritual, and discussion. We will close with warm drinks and food.

Please bring: an item for the shared altar, camp chair, blanket, drum or rattle (if you have one), portable mug, plate, cutlery, and weather-appropriate clothing as we will be gathering outside. We look forward to seeing you there!
