✦

Come join us at this powerful threshold between winter and summer as we gather to celebrate Beltane, the fire festival of activation, purification and life force.

Through dance, movement, creativity and community we gather to awaken, remember and reclaim who we truly are and what we came here to do, welcoming ourselves and each other as we blossom.

A prayer in motion for vitality, courage, connection and the power of being fully human during these times of great change for humanity.

✦

Through music, movement, ritual and song we reconnect with the energy within us and connect with the power that lives in our heart, body, mind and soul. This is a space to explore what wants to bloom through your path, your relationships, your practice and your expression at this time of great change for humanity.

As the days grow longer and nature is in full bloom, we welcome all parts of ourselves into the dance. With the elements of fire, air, earth and water, we co-create a collective prayer for ourselves, each other and the wider community. A prayer for courage, aliveness, beauty and togetherness as we keep showing up in these times of transformation.
