BELTANE: THE EARTH IS HUMMING
All people born into a female body are welcome here, not only those who identify as women.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A warm, safe, intentionally held space of honesty, reflection and connection. We'll share grounding and nervous system settling, seasonal ritual, journalling, gentle meditation, deep listening and a little education on cyclical and seasonal living. We'll make a flower crown to take home, and finish with a shared meal.
DETAILS
Location is in Mile End, address shared closer to the date
Arrival from 4:00pm
Circle begins 4:30pm sharp
Circle closes around 7:30pm(ish), followed by shared dinner
Come exactly as you are.
WHAT TO BRING
🌸 Comfy clothes. Or something that makes you feel like a queen. Or the outfit you've been too nervous to wear in public. Wear it. Fuck it, let's celebrate.
đź““ Your journal, like always.
🌿 Flowers for the altar. Something from your walk or your garden. Keep it easy and intuitive. If they're there, they're there.
🍽 A plate of shared food. We're feasting.
I'll supply everything for the flower crowns. If you're allergic to anything in particular, please let me know beforehand so we can keep you safe and blooming.
We’ve walked through the Void and sat as seeds in the dark, full of infinite possibility. We stopped trying to know with our minds and started listening to our hearts.
At Imbolc, we watched possibility burst through the cold ground: blossoms on bare branches, bulbs pushing up out of winter. At the Spring Equinox, light and dark stood level and the animals got on with fertility. Lambs and chicks everywhere. Fluffy proof that life wins.
Now it’s Beltane, and it’s loud.
The earth is humming. Flowers are going off in every direction, the energy is rising, and Mother Earth is singing. This is the turn where fertility becomes human: our bodies, our desire, our creativity, our aliveness. Not the polite version. The juicy, wild, undeniable one.
Come and be in the hum with us.

HONOURING WHERE WE STAND
I live, work and play on Kaurna Yerta. I raise my children here, garden here, and move through my days in devotion on this country, while never forgetting my own ancestors belong to other soil.
I feel deeply the connection my Kaurna brothers and sisters hold with this place: this land as kin, shaped by millennia of shared feedback loops between people and Country. I honour their Elders past and present, and all First Nations people whose sovereignty is still unrecognised.
I honour, too, the roots I carry from other soils. The ancestors who walked barefoot on other lands, who lit their fires on May Eve and leapt over them for luck, and the goddesses women have called on for eons.
This Beltane we bring those old fires to this old land with respect, as visitors who are learning to listen.
FOR THE CURIOUS (optional extras)
A little Beltane history
Beltane is the old Gaelic May Day festival. It was one of four Gaelic seasonal festivals, alongside Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh. It sits roughly halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Its older name, CĂ©tshamhain, is usually read as "first of summer", and it was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures.
The fire was the loud part. Special bonfires were lit, and their flames, smoke and ashes were believed to protect people, animals and crops. People and their cattle walked around or between the fires, and sometimes leapt over the flames or embers. Household fires were put out and relit from the Beltane flame. Doors, windows and livestock were decked in yellow flowers, perhaps because they looked like fire. There were holy wells, May bushes and feasting, and the aos sĂ, the fairy folk, were thought to be especially active, so many rituals aimed to keep them sweet. The Welsh had their own version, Calan Mai, and in Germanic lands the same season carried Walpurgis Night.
It was a festival of optimism, with fertility ritual important, perhaps tied to the sun's growing power. It was the moment the whole community said yes to growth, to heat, to life moving.
European ancestors lit fires and leapt over them in the northern spring. Here in the south, Beltane lands at the end of October and the start of November. The season turns when it turns, and we get to turn with it.
What's happening on Country right now
We gather on Kaurna Yerta, where the seasons are read from the sky, the birds and the land rather than from a European calendar. Right now we are in Wirltuti. The Kaurna seasonal calendar marks it from about October to December, and the position of the Southern Cross in October signals its start. You may also see this season written as Willutti.
Kaurna knowledge is living, and accounts differ on whether the year holds four, five or six seasons. I continue sitting and listening to Kaurna Elders' knowledge as they are generously able to share it and will keep honouring the living teachings.
Some things to look for on your walk:
Look up. The Southern Cross is called Wirltu tidna because it resembles the foot of Wirltu, the wedge-tailed eagle.
Listen for new life. The birds that laid their eggs back in Kudlila are now hatching and leaving the nest for the first time. Eagle chicks are testing their wings while we celebrate our own.
Check the dunes. The coastal dunes produce edible plants from November through to February.
Notice your own body. The days are longer. Energy feels magnetic, more enduring, more positive, more outward. There's an urge to rearrange every single cupboard in the house. That's the hum, and it's coming through you.
The land is talking.
