Beltane is the cross-quarter festival marking the midway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Beltane signifies the height of spring and the very beginning of summer. The name Beltane means “bright fire” and references the Celtic god of fire, Belanus. A symbol of warmth, light, increasing energy, and purification, fire is the chosen symbol of Beltane to honor the growing life, light, and warmth present in the natural world. Walk with us and be inspired by the sight of the world waking up around you and coming into bloom. During our walk together, we’ll take time to notice the wonders of nature and the light around us to help us enter this season with greater attention and intention. Bring an open heart.
Advance registration is required to attend.
Our suggested ticket price is $40. However, if paying $40 would prohibit you from attending this walk, please pay what you can. We believe a connection to the land fosters the mental, physical, and spiritual wellness of individuals, communities, and the planet. We want to provide a quality experience that facilitates this connection, but we also believe all members of our community should have access to this event. If you are able to pay more than the suggested ticket price, the difference will go towards covering the cost of those in our community who can’t.
Once purchased, you will receive more information on how to prepare for the event.
No pets or children under 16 for this experience.
Everyone is welcome. Come as you are.
No experience necessary; just an open heart and willingness to connect.

Additional information:
Walks involve creative invitations in the woods that allow you to explore nature with all five of your senses. We will practice mindfulness exercises that will help you connect with nature on a new level.
Walks are slow-paced and cover less than 1 mile.
Cell phones should be off (ideally left in the car) and in a hard-to-reach pocket to minimize both physical and mental intrusions while on the walk.
Please dress for the weather, including a jacket, layers, umbrella, and proper shoes.
Walks will continue even in drizzling rain, as they can enhance our sensory experience. An alternate date will be coordinated if there is severe inclement weather (e.g., high winds, snowstorms, thunderstorms).
Please arrive 15 minutes ahead of the start of the walk. Bathrooms will not be available during the walk.
Please contact us if you have any limitations that the guide should be aware of so that the walk can be modified if necessary.
Spring is officially here and at its peak. The warmer days continue to grow longer. Plants are blooming, and optimism is everywhere we look!
