Join us for a heartfelt workshop celebrating Beltane, the ancient Celtic festival of fire, fertility, and community—marking the arrival of summer and the peak of spring’s abundance.  This session is dedicated to honoring the spirit of growth, renewal, and connection through creative crafts and meaningful rituals.

Together, we’ll craft traditional Kraft paper cones, decorated with ribbons and filled with wildflowers to symbolize abundance and blooming life. Participants will also have the opportunity to paint or collage their cones with spring-themed designs, celebrating the season’s vibrant energy. Additionally, you will create a beautiful Beltane flower crown or "crown of love," using seasonal blooms like daisies, hawthorn, lilacs, and roses—symbols of fertility and new growth. These crowns are traditional headpieces worn to celebrate the peak of spring and the arrival of summer, embodying renewal and love.

These symbolic creations invite positivity, fertility, and protection into your space, helping you connect deeply with Beltane’s powerful seasonal spirit.
