Beltane

This cross-quartz festival between spring equinox and summer solstice is about celebrating the rising sexual energy of the earth and of ourselves

The sexual energy of the earth is rising as spring is absolutely at its zenith - oozing exuberance in the spectacular displays we see in the natural world around us – budding and blossoming trees, spring flowers, baby animals, birdsong, the warm sun on our faces as we move towards summer.

Traditionally, this festival was celebrated with young people spending the night wandering the woodlands and returning in the morning as a couple, arms full of May flowers, to jump naked over the Beltane fire, where they would be handfasted for a year and a day.

Vestiges of these ceremonies are seen in the flower ceremonies May – where the May Pole (symbolising the masculine energy of the sun) penetrates the earth and children dance around this symbol of cosmic creativity

Pleasure Palace

This ceremony is all about PLEASURE

We will be tapping into the pleasure of our bodies, connecting with the earth, connecting with our breath, with cacao, with the potent magic of this sacred site.

The Ceremony

All elements of our ceremony are invitations – there is no obligation to share in circle or to dance or indeed anything else - we invite you to be queens and sovereigns of your own experience.

We begin with a circle and with Muma Cacao who helps us to open our hearts.

We will guide you through a short breathwork practice that will help you to connect with energetic pleasure in your body.

And of course we will be dancing this pleasure through our bodies.

These sessions can be potent and everyone experiences them in a different way – there can be rage, grief, sadness, confusion, ecstacy, celebration. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable and sometimes blissful. The more we can allow ourselves to experience the full range of what we are capable of feeling, the more we can step into the truth of who we are.

You will always be held with a commitment to safety and love, and in your sovereignty – you are free to follow our invitations to move or breathe, or to sit quietly by the fire!

As with all our ceremonies – clothing is optional and there is never any pressure to remove clothing – some women enjoy dancing naked or semi-naked, others prefer to be clothed and there is always a mix of dressed and undressed!

Boscowen-Un

If the sun god favours us, we will be dancing outside at Boscowen-Un Stone Circle in Penwith and dancing with "silent disco" style headphones. These are the best option for dancing outside so that we aren't disturbing anyone else. If the weather is poor, we will be inside in the Apple Barn at Chyan.

The beautiful sacred sites of Cornwall are potent energy portals - used by our ancestors to travel between the worlds. When we hold ceremony at these sites, we are continuing on this ancient path and even though we may not understand the technology as fully as our ancestors did, we still tap into this potent power.

Boscowen-Un is particularly special - it is located a good 10 minute walk from the road in a wild landscape - parking is very limited so please lift share if you can.

This is a public place, so it cannot  guaranteed that we will have it all to ourselves. However we often do! the silent disco headphones mean that we are able to totally immerse ourselves in the music.

You are free to go as deep or as gently as you wish given the surroundings.

As with all our ceremonies – clothing is optional and there is never any pressure to remove clothing – some women enjoy dancing naked or semi-naked, others prefer to be clothed and there is always a mix of dressed and undressed!
