🌟 What’s Happening on the Day?
🔥 13:00–16:00 | Garden of Intentions
Drop-in | Free | All Welcome
Join us in our Garden of Intentions as we explore rituals that bring us closer as a community, and closer to (long awaited) summer.
This Beltane, as Winter lifts and Summer rises, Enlightened Connections and Salisbury Centre invite you to a soul-soothing afternoon exchange of compassion, curiosity and kindness.
We will start the celebrations around the fire at 1pm with storytelling from Icelandic lore.
Afterwards, you will get an opportunity to take a meditative stroll through the Garden of Intention, soaking in the symphony of Springtime. You will be able to tie your compliments and words of affirmation to our Kindness Tree, to exchange loving messages with secret strangers! Or you could tend to your Inner Garden with a guided journaling ritual – to gently plant seeds of hope within, or lovingly unearth the old roots you’ve outgrown. Take this opportunity to embody the season your soul is blossoming into.
There will also be a special treat for the wee ones – a treasure hunt! So do bring you children (especially the inner ones)
We will close the event where we started – around the fire, with The Circle Sound Bath. Be prepared to be bathed in kindness, hopeful intentions and soothing sounds.
We invite you to come dressed as and adorned in whatever feels like you, and be sure to bring along a notebook and pen to record your transformation. Come as you wish to be and wish for what will come to you!
