BELTANEStart: April 29. 2022 End: May 1, 2022 | What is Beltane?Beltane celebrates the height of spring and the coming of summer. Our Beltane festivals are often commemorated with fire circles, ribbons, flowers, maypoles, dancing and rituals spread out over 3-day weekend closest to May 1st each year. In 2019 we gathered at Stone Song Center and raised 2 maypoles and 1 seed stone! Our 2020 Beltane was our first all-virtual event due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and many adaptations were made to gather together in virtual space. In 2021 we were back on-line raising stones and maypoles together though apart!! Join us in 2022 as we once again gather in person at Stone Song Center to raise maypoles and stones and rejoice in the coming of Spring! Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 1st at Stone Song Center. For more information and to register, click here! About the Venue: Stone Song Center is a welcoming space nestled in the Allegany Mountains of Western Maryland. It includes a beautiful farmhouse overlooking 23 acres of luscious land, a renovated barn that serves as a retreat center including an indoor meeting space, kitchen and bunk beds. The land includes a small pond, and creek, a fire circle, nature trails, an apiary and an organic vegetable garden and orchard. Most of our attendees will camp and that cost will be included in the cost of registration. Non-campers can upgrade to bunkhouse accommodations. Stone Song Center does not allow personal campfires. So be mindful of that when planning meals. We will also offer a limited number of meal-plans for those attendees who prefer not to cook for themselves. Pricing and details are still in the works but stay tuned. Stone Song Center does not have trash-service so please plan to pack-out anything you pack-in. *Stone Song Center requires all persons on-site over the age of 5 years to be fully vaccinated as per the CDC definition. The CDC states that "a person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination." |
