This year’s Beltane was themed around the culture and traditions of the Romani (Gypsy) people. In addition to the ceremony we also had workshops taking place throughout the weekend including a morning yoga workout, tarot workshop, shamanic journeywork, a discussion of curses, hexes and how to remove them, and an introduction to Romani culture and lore.
Beltane and Lammas are usually outdoor ceremonies done over a weekend including camping, workshops and a full ritual. They are typically open events to the public with prior registration. If you’re interested in attending our public events in the future take a look at our upcoming events to see what’s in store.
