We’re having 2 events on May 4th in celebration of Beltane and you can RSVP for one, the other, or both!

Elemental Snuggle & Fire Puja

Beltane is a celebration of life in Pagan traditions. It is associated with dancing the May pole, wearing a crown of flowers, and feasting around a fire. It is also a time of honoring the earth and seasonal cycles of nature, as well as community and shared interconnection. Come be together and celebrate the beginning of summer!

Event times, descriptions, and (a lot) more information is below.

Elemental Snuggle

Doors Open at 11:00am 

Doors Close at 11:30am

Event Ends at 2:00pm


We will start the event off with an opening circle and connection exercises. Then there will be “open” / unfacilitated snuggle time. And finally we’ll end with a closing circle.

During our snuggle time, anyone who wants to is invited to read a children’s story (or similarly short selection) aloud to the other participants. Stories about nature, spring, the elements, etc are encouraged, but not required.


As we build a community together, you are always at choice. However, in order to hold a container for each event, it is important to have people present. Therefore, you are welcome to leave at any time, but if you leave you will not be able to return to the event.

Fire Puja

Doors Open at 3:00pm 

Doors Close at 3:30pm

Event Ends at 5:30pm


We will start the event off with an opening circle, and connection exercises. Then our facilitator will lead us through rounds of deeper connection exercises ranging from sweet to sensual. And finally we’ll end with a closing circle.

After the official event, anyone may stay for some “unstructured” and casual time to gather around the fire, eat, sing, and enjoy snuggly or sensual connection until 7:30pm.
