Beltane Forest Gathering in Moseley Bog: Mindfulness & A Little May Magic
Details
On May 1st, as spring reaches its fertile fullness, we will gather beneath the ancient trees of Moseley Bog to honour Beltane — an ancient turning point in the wheel of the year.
Traditionally, Beltane marks a threshold: the crossing from intention into embodiment, from seed into bloom. It is a celebration of life-force energy, creativity, courage and becoming.
In the quiet shelter of the forest at dusk, we will work gently with these themes through:
🕯 A symbolic candle ritual — each flame representing what you are ready to release, and what you are ready to ignite
🥁 Soft, grounding drumming to awaken rhythm within the body and reconnect to instinct
🌿 Nature-based mindfulness practices to anchor you into presence, sensation and awareness
🌸 A simple May ritual to honour growth, vitality and your next unfolding chapter
This is not about performance or belief. It is about experience.
Psychologically, seasonal rituals help the nervous system register change. They give shape to transition. They allow us to consciously close one chapter and step into another.
Beltane is an invitation to ask:
- What in me is ready to bloom?
- What passion have I quietened?
- Where am I being called to step forward?
Expect woodland air, birdsong softening into evening, candlelight flickering between the trees, and a sense of quiet reconnection — to nature, to others, and to the wilder, wiser part of yourself.
Spaces will be limited to keep the gathering intimate.
If you feel the pull of the forest this May Day, you are warmly invited to join us.
- Cost only £20 (payable on the day)
- We will be meeting in the Car Park on Yardley Wood Road
