Circle Notes:
Dinner is potluck. We encourage you to bring your own non-disposable plate, cup, and utensils for the potluck to decrease environmental waste.
Becoming’s monthly Circle of Connection is our core tradition. It is here that we come together to build and strengthen our connections with the world around us, each other, and the Divine. The road to membership in Becoming begins and ends with the monthly Circle of Connection.
The circle provides a safe space to temporarily step outside of the hectic pace of our daily lives to re-affirm our relationships with the divine that infuses everything that is. It is a time of thanksgiving and healing with caring and fun people.
After dinner, we will have a Seekers Class on the topic of Divine/Divinity/Deities.

At Beltane, we look to the summer season of activity and the fire of creation. As co-creators with the Divine, we pull together the energies of the past and weave them into a new tapesty — our vision of the future.
What do you want to create in your life this year? What creative energies flow through you? What new projects and new ideas do you want to pursue? In this ritual we will to stoke the fires of fertility — of the body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit. We will release our creative energy into the world.
The new moon begins its waxing phase on Sunday April 26th, so contemplate and craft your intent using the increasing energy of the waxing moon prior to the ritual, and create a symbol or sigil to represent your intent. At the ritual, we will be charging these symbols and releasing their energy through the fire of creation.
Becoming Friends and Members and their families are welcome.
