Seasonal Community Celebrations
For followers of nature-based spiritual paths the dynamics of the changing seasons and the interplay between darkness and light, and the natural world are fundamental. This cycle is an expression of deeper truths, and by making a conscious choice to be active participants in the natural ebb and flow of the year, pagans can find harmony with things on all levels: natural, personal, and the divine.
Community rituals are open to the whole pagan and pagan friendly community to celebrate the seasons.
RSVP's are necessary to make sure that the leaders of the rituals have enough supplies to go around. If you do not RSVP, we always plan for a few extra but in case we run out be sure to RSVP no later than 24 hours prior to the Community Ritual date.
After the Ritual Celebration we feast!!!
Please bring food, snacks, and/or drinks to share (potluck style). There will be water, plates, cups, and plastic-ware already on site.

Our community rituals are brought to you by the community!!! Thank you all for your generous donations at our celebrations!!! Our community group is able to continue through donations. Donations make it possible to have a safe place for celebrating and making memorable experiences.
We generally ask for a five dollar donation, but every big and little bit helps. There are also other ways of helping the group out so please see the "helping Out" tab of this website.

2019 Community Celebrations
Beltane
When: Friday, May 3
Leading:
Seraphina & Goody; Reclaiming, Fae, and Eclectic
Notes: As we turn the wheel toward the season of Beltane we ask Water to Bless the seeds we have planted and we bless the waters of the world to ensure the fertility of the planet. Attendees are asked to bring water to the ritual that has meaning for them. For example: A small container of water from The Comal River and for the participant to know a bit about the source of the water. Attendees may bring tap water as long as they know where it has come from Ex: The Edwards Aquifer. Attendees are encouraged to share a few words about their water as they pour it into the cauldron during ritual.
