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.

Potluck dinner to follow.

The November Friends and Member’s event “Spiritual Crafts for the Holidays” will be held at 5 PM in a private residence in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Address will be given to those who RSPV to cindy@becomingdc.org.

With all the hustle and bustle from Samhain to Yule, Becoming Friends & Members take a couple of hours to create an item that speaks to our spirit. Using natural materials either gathered (twigs, stones, bark) or created (natural cloths, fibers) from Gaia herself, you will go home with only one tangible object but tons of ideas to continue in the creative spirit throughout the Holy-days. Enough basic materials will be provided for each attendee to create one item, but feel free to bring your own to personalize. If there is enough interest, I will meet at 4 PM for a foraging expedition prior to the event. Light refreshments will be served.
