Women's Circles
Our Women's Circles offer a safe space for women to come together for rest, reflection and seasonal ceremonies. We are an internationally recognized Red Tent and new members are always welcome!
Upcoming Women's Gatherings:
Beltane Women's Circle
Beltane Eve
April 30, 2024
6:30pm-9:00pm ET
Harrison Bay State Park
(Chattanooga)
When it comes to the Wheel of the Year, Beltane is a very special day. In addition to celebrating with bonfires and fire rituals, the veil is said to be thin during this time and special attention is often paid to both ancestors and the Fae. Beltane is also one of the more frolicsome cross-quarter days, inviting us to tap into our inner maiden and remember that play is sacred too. Beltane is May 1, however it is historically observed from sunset the evening before through sunset on Beltane day.
We will gather at Harrison Bay State Park in the primitive lakeside campground for a fireside feast, guided storytelling, and seasonal reflections. Our circle will end with a fire ritual as the sun sets.
