A celebration of Bealtaine – Marking the beginning of Summer

Hail bounteous May that dost inspire
Mirth and youth, and warm desire,
Woods and Groves, are of thy dressing,
Hill and Dale, doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early Song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

Song on May Morning by John Milton

In ancient Celtic tradition Bealtaine was a festival celebrating the beginning of summer. It was the time of year when the animals were driven out to the summer pastures. In the Christian tradition the month of May is known as the month of Mary.  There are many traditions associated with May Day – the decoration of the May Bush, making garlands of flowers and honouring of Mary as Queen of the May.

Celebrate Earth Day – Our Power, our Planet

“We need to strengthen the conviction that we are one single human family. We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.”

Laudato Si.

The purpose of Earth Day, celebrated each year on April 22nd, is to raise awareness and encourage communities and nations around the world to take action on critically important environmental issues. The theme for Earth Day 2025 is “Our Power, Our Planet.” It is a call to unite behind renewable energy.

On the evening, there will be a short presentation on Solas Bhride as an ecological building, and the plans to install solar panels followed by a contemplative walk in the environs of the Centre.

“The divine and the human meet in the slightest detail in the seamless garment of God’s creation, in the last speck of dust of our planet.”

(Laudato Si’, 9).

“What is Sacred Dance”
Sacred Dance, also known as circle dance, is a blend of traditional and choreographed dances which bring communities and people together.
The dances can be holistic and mediative in nature. They also create a fun loving environment for people to experience their own energy and physical movements. Small movements which we take are sometimes an example of life and let us question how we can go deeply into bringing awareness to our inner and outer being. Brant Bambery  Dance teacher in the Findhorn Spiritual and Eco Village Community, Scotland.

Spring Equinox
We invite you to join with us as we mark the Spring Equinox, a point of balance in the year’s cycle. We celebrate the aliveness and vitality that comes with spring.
“The beautiful spring came; and when nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. ”

Harriet Ann Jacobs
Equinoxes are the only two times yearly that the Sun rises due east and sets due west for all of us on Earth!

It is a time of balance. It is almost like the pendulum of the seasons rests for a brief moment of harmony.  How often have we heard the expression “I need to do a spring clean.”  The implication is that life has become cluttered and there is a need to bring it back into balance.   This is a time to reflect if there is balance in my life between activity and rest, work and play, busyness and relationships, joy and sorrow.
This is also the time of year when the Christian community celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation – when the angel Gabriel extends the invitation to Mary to be the mother of Jesus. What is the invitation being extended to each of us at this moment in our lives?
