Beltane Celebration – online
Monday 28th April 2025 at 19:00
Summer is on its way! Everywhere is vibrant with colour and growth. Beltane, the beginning of summer, is a time for new growth and energy, births and abundance. Let’s meet to remember how and why our ancestors celebrated this time of the year. We will share some meditation and some divination using cards. If you wish, bring a seasonal story/ poem/ song/ tune to share.
See the facebook post or the April newsletter for full details.

Book Reviews
‘The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age’ by Abi Millar
This book is excellent. It is about the search for meaning in our rapidly changing world. It explores ayahuasca (a hallucinogen), yoga, tarot, astrology, manifestation, reiki, atheism, physical exercise, meditation, Nature spirituality, shamanism and raves.
‘Prosperity Without Growth: Foundations for the Economy of Tomorrow’ by Tim Jackson
This book challenges mainstream economic thinking that the world’s economy needs to perpetually grow for the good of everyone.
