why now?

The Wheel of the Year is not just a calendar—it’s a cosmology. An ancient spiral of time that honors both light and dark, death and rebirth, inner and outer realms. The Irish imagination is rooted in a mythic consciousness where both heartbreak and enchantment co-exist, where contradiction is not a problem, but a portal.

Bealtaine marks the midpoint of the Celtic Wheel of the Year and lies directly opposite Samhain on the Wheel. This is a liminal time when the veil between worlds is thin. At Bealtaine we mark the transition from winter to summer, and step over the shimmering threshold from the dark to the bright half of the year. ​Beal-taine translates as bright fire or mouth of fire as Gaeilge. This is a fire festival of fertility and wildness that celebrates the rekindling of the sun’s strength. It is a potent time to inhabit seasonal sensuousness and sovereignty.

Aligning with the gifts of these pivot points of the Wheel of the Year supports us to reconnect and repair our relationship with the human and more-than-human world. This is an invitation to return to your senses and rekindle a connection to your untamed nature. If you are longing for belonging and feel ready to reclaim your wild soul then this is for you.
