Homecoming - a space to pause, connect, reflect and grow
2026-04-25 10:00 - 13:00
Theme: Honouring Fertility, Fire and Creative Growth – An Interactive Bealtaine Gathering
Saturday 25 April 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Inspired by the Celtic Year Wheel, this is the second in our series of Homecoming workshops. As we cross the threshold into Bealtaine, we move from the quiet inward gaze of winter towards the warmth, light, and outward expansion of summer. Together, we will draw on the living Celtic wisdom tradition to restore, release what no longer serves you, and gently guide you back into relationship with yourself, your body, and the wider natural world.
This mini-retreat offers a precious time apart: a space to return to your inner calm, reconnect with the earth, and open into the creative, life-affirming energy of the upcoming summer season. Bealtaine invites us to step into possibility — to feel the stirrings of purpose, joy, and connection as the world around us comes into bloom.
Throughout our time together, we will explore ritual, guided meditation, and Anam Cara (soul friendship or deep listening), along with journaling, expressive arts, and simple movement. The focus is on honouring self-care, inviting restoration, supporting deep inner healing, and celebrating community. This is an opportunity to tend both the gentle embers within and the vibrant outward growth that Bealtaine inspires, whatever the external or internal challenges you may be living with
Cost
This event is offered without a set fee. If you feel able, we warmly welcome donations to support the facilitator and the work of Tara. Your contribution, whatever the amount, helps us continue creating spaces for healing and connection.
What you need
Bring your favourite mug/cup to share its story at tea break, and an open heart as we create space for stillness, inspiration, and community.

The final 2026 Homecoming gathering will take place on:

17th October 2026

About Bealtaine
Beltane (pronounced Bel-tayn or Be-al-tin-eh) is one of the eight festivals on the Wheel of the Year. This celebration is a May Day festival, a time of joy, sensuality and connection, moving us closer to the vitality of summer. The name Beltaine comes from Old Irish Beltene with Bel meaning “bright,” or possibly referring to the Celtic sun god Belenus, and tene meaning “fire.” Together, the name translates as “bright fire”. The arrival of Bealtaine feels like stepping into renewal. Creation is in full bloom and we can celebrate union between body and spirit, earth and sky seen and unseen. It’s a time that invites us to open, to trust in joy and to let life move through us. Beltane is a very feminine festival and a celebration of life. As the bringers of life women and mothers were particularly honoured, carve out a moment for the self-care you need. Take some time, tune in and listen. Get curious about what will nourish you and if it’s not immediately possible to do that make a plan for when you will and be sure to honour it. You are important.
