What a beautiful Spring Equinox gathering yesterday! Thank you to the 24 people who came to the woods to celebrate in community! We remembered to take pictures only at the very end, but look at some of the wonderful people who joined us!

Our next gathering is for Beltane on Sunday, April 26th at 4 pm. ** We will be meeting at a new place ** Fishburn Park in Roanoke City. This site is more accessible than the beautiful Happy Hollow - both physically easier to move about in, and it can be reached via public transportation. Our hope is to meet twice a year in places like this so that the wider community can enjoy connecting with the Wheel of the Year. If you know anyone who has hesitated to join us because of physical limitations - or because we are usually at a remote park in the woods😄- please let them know about our next gathering. It will be a wonderful time to celebrate together and create connection and community!

Thank you to everyone who came out on a brisk fall day for Samhain! It felt nourishing to be in community together, and wonderful to take time for our ancestors and our Beloved Dead. Looking forward to seeing you at our Winter Solstice gathering on December 14th at 2 pm.

A beautiful Lúnasa to you all! Thank you to everyone who came out this past Sunday to celebrate First Harvest! It was a fabulous time of silent wander and fellowship, with an excellent variety of fresh food afterwards! Again, no group pictures (any picture takers out there?), but enjoy this lovely yellow garden spider eating a june bug! Join us for our Fall Equinox gathering on Sunday, September 21st at 4 pm at Happy Hollow Gardens Park! Note earlier start time, as the days continue to shorten.

Another great Summer Solstice gathering! Thanks to the 12 people who braved the rain and chance of thunderstorms! The musical sounds of the nearby stream added delight to our solo wanders and our song and dance in the pavilion. No pictures again - whoops. Perhaps you would like to take pictures next time? Hope to see everyone at our next gathering on July 27th at 6 pm for Lúnasa: First Harvest at Happy Hollow Gardens!
