Yule Winter Solstice Ceremony +Feast

🌑 Winter Solstice Feast & Sacred Fire Ceremony 🌕


On this longest night, when the veil between worlds thins and time itself seems to pause,
we gather to honor the turning of the Wheel… the rebirth of the Sun.
The dark has reached its peak, and from this stillness, the light begins its slow return.


Yule invites us to journey inward,
to listen for the quiet whispers of spirit,
to dream the visions that wish to be born,
to plant luminous seeds for the year to come.


As our ancestors did, we come together to share warmth, nourishment, and magic.
By the light of flame and candle, we feast not only with our bodies but with our souls,
celebrating the sacred balance of shadow and illumination.

BELTANE ceremony + feast
May 1st, 2025
​6-10ish pm


This isn’t a night of steely, rational restraint.
It’s a time to feel, deeply and with every cell of your body.
.
It’s a time to remember what it feels like to be utterly free within oneself, to come into the fullness of your being, not whittling it down to a societally acceptable sliver.

On this special evening we will celebrate the wheel of the year and the fire festival of Beltane through ceremony, ritual, feasting, and special performances that will delight your senses.

Traditionally the Pagan Irish observed the First of May as the first day of Summer. Today, those who observe the Wheel of the Year celebrate Beltane as the height of Spring! We give thanks for the fertility of our planet and the ability of the Earth to renew herself. We revel in the new growth and general fecundity of the season. As co-creators with the Universe, we witches also like to tap into the energy of Spring to help us bring new life into our own endeavors.

Classically, Beltane is observed on May 1st with a maypole and a bonfire. In the Wiccan tradition, we celebrate the sexual union of the Goddess and the God, an allegory of the Mother Earth impregnated by the seed of the Green Man. Beltane celebrations are often infused with a boisterous and bawdy energy that reflects the fertile energy of the season. The maypole is a phallic symbol of the masculine energy which is then joyfully embraced by colorful ribbons, symbolic of the beautiful abundance and diversity of our living world.

For this event we will be honoring Beltane (all sexes welcome!) with a mocktail hour where we will make the traditional flower crowns and mingle as the sun sets, then move into ceremony circle + ritual, meditation and shamanic journey, a show during sit down dinner with fire dancers, a 5 course vegetarian feast with wine service, sound bath, fire ritual and more!
