We will start there ceremony together online with an opening ceremony at 9a PT / 10a MT.
Thereafter the groups will split to do their own things!
At Erosia we will prepare for the upcoming Beltane by taking a site tour, which might include the finding of a personal wand. We will then work on preparing the site until noon, when we come back together on Zoom to center back together around the pole carving/wand making.
Midday is time for sharing Teachings about poles and wands while we carve the Maypole and others work on their personal wand creation. We will also have an open, come and eat as you will/need potluck buffet set out. We will have a fire and it will be outside with some coverings to keep us dry.
Once we move into midafternoon we will pivot for our "Mad March Hare Tea Party", which is a time for sharing tea and potluck sweets/tea-time-foods and to dress in whatever costume you get together. We will have a bin of fun scarves and such so that all may play dress up!
(Also, tea doesn't need to be the only thing drunk at this "Mad Hare" party! We will have "over 21 options" available to give your tea a kick if you so choose.)
Then let the fun and games commence!
We will then hang out sharing stories and tales of spring and "good things to come" until we decide we've had enough! :)
Sound like your "cup of tea"?
