Beltane at Berry
November 4, 2006
The Wheel turns and brings us to the warm and merry time of Beltane. Life and Light are strong at this time of year. Let us partake of both while we may. Come and join us to celebrate the Sabbat with mirth and reverence. Be a part of our family as we come together to play, to talk, to laugh, to dance, to worship, and simply to be who we are: the children of the God & the Goddess.
Admission is by donation and please bring a plate of food and drink for supper. Please note that this is a non-alcoholic event but you are welcome to join us at Berry Hotel for a few drinks after the event.
