Sometimes it's possible to get pictures, sometimes it just doesn't work out. If you have pictures of a celebration, it would be great if you sent them to me. I'd love to put more on the site.
2018 Beltane: @ Debby's house, facilitators were Marty, Sandy, Teresa & Debby.
Women entered the 'World Between the Veils", a world were spirit can roam freely. Stations focused on reviewing different aspects of our life; reflecting on the path our physical, emotional and spiritual being has taken so far in this life time. Each woman met three Goddesses in the beautiful 'Goddess Room' where questions were asked about their purpose for this lifetime. Their journey was witnessed by the Goddesses with loving acceptance, appreciation for the gifts they bring to the world, understanding and validation.
Unfortunately, the Reflection room and the Wonder Woman station didn't get photographed.

Beltane 2017: Graced with a warm spring day, we enjoyed a day of beauty, sharing and dancing in Joy's fabulous house and gardens. The day began with massage and connecting with a partner. Then we made ourselves gorgeous by adding flowers to a braided head/hat wreath. Next, sheltered under canopy and umbrellas, we were led in a visualization during which we received a gift that would help us move through any blocks we may have to loving fully. We wrote what we wanted to release on a piece of specially made tissue paper. Forming it into a cylinder, we lit it on fire and watched as it floated up into the air. Regathering into our circle, we were gifted time for deep sharing. And then , gathered around the may pole, we consummated the sacred marriage, shaft into Earth mother, and we danced and sang, weaving beautiful ribbons around the pole. Then of course, we feasted magnificently! Thank you Joy, Nan and Susie for a delightful celebration.
2016 Beltane
This beautiful ritual included creating a personal flower mandala, walking a labryinth and bringing into awareness the beauty of the journey we each walk.

Beltane 2015-out at LeeAnn's in Red Bluff: Connecting to Spirit Horse-as a guide on our journey of transition. Remembering our 13 year old beings and being given the opportunity to rewrite that experience. Weaving the words that represent that experience, then attaching the weavings to LeeAnn's beautiful horses. It was a playful day coupled with the sweetness of sharing our journey with each other. It was a day of connecting to Spirit, Mother Earth, the majesty of Horse, ourselves and each other, with love. (Hover over the picture below, then click play for the slide show to begin.)
The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love
that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong.
2008 Beltane Ritual @ Wendy's

2008 Beltane: Facilitated by Wendy, Debby and LeeAnn, we each made our own Maypoles-pretty cool how easy it was. We formed groups of 4 and changed off with who's maypole was being made. Sharing was rich as we each had our moment to be listened to and we were able to affirm what we wanted to bring into our lives. Sweet!
