Sacred Cycles: Beltane Ritual · The threshold of summer

Service Description

Sacred Cycles is a series of seasonal gatherings marking the turning points of the year. Rooted in the Pagan Wheel of the Year, the phases of the moon and the rhythms of the natural world, these evenings invite you to slow down, listen and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. **Beltane · The threshold of summer** At Beltane, the hedgerows are thick with new leaves, hawthorn is coming into blossom and there’s enough light left after supper to go for a walk. I love this point in the year when it starts to feel natural to linger outside a little longer. Beltane is a celebration of fire, growth and the land coming into bloom. For me, it’s also an invitation to notice what brings me pleasure in the simplest ways. Bare feet on the grass. A song that makes me want to move. The smell of the hedgerows after rain. We’ll give ourselves a little room to follow what feels good and see what comes alive when we do. **Blind in Mystery** We rarely know what a threshold will ask of us until we arrive inside it. I shape the practices and rituals in the days before we meet, listening to what’s happening in the season and on the land, and leaving room for what we bring into the circle together. You’re welcome to come as you are and see what unfolds. **What Awaits You** → **Seasonal Rituals & Reflection** We’ll mark the threshold of summer through seasonal ritual and gather around a Beltane altar. If you’d like to add something, bring a flower from your garden, a fallen sprig of blossom, a ribbon or a small object that reminds you of something you love. Bringing an offering is entirely optional. → **Yoga, Movement & Embodiment** Yoga, breath and space to play with how your body wants to move. → **Stillness & Journalling** Time to rest, write and reflect on what you’d like to make more room for as summer approaches. → **Community in Circle** A space to be met as you are, in the company of other women. You’re welcome to share or simply listen. **Practical Details** → **When** Friday 30 April 2027, 7pm to 9pm → **Where** Jala Yoga Studio, Brancaster, North Norfolk → **Price** £25 Please bring a yoga mat and a blanket.
