Celtic Spirituality is the indigenous spirituality of Ireland. It is a gentle, nature based way of being that invites us to live from our heart.

The Fire Festival of Bealtaine signals early summer in the Celtic Calendar and is a time of fertility, vitality, abundance and renewal of outward activity. Step with us into the earthy mysticism of the Celtic Wisdom Tradition as we welcome the sun into our lives at this vital threshold, through honoring and connecting to the Celtic Spirit. This is shared through Celtic Ritual, Chants, Song, Story, Poetry, Blessings, and a Celtic Talk about what this time of year in the Celtic Calendar symbolises and how we may bring it into our homes and our lives.

Whether you are someone who knows very little and is curious about how the living spiritual tradition of Celtic Spirituality can nourish our lives; someone who has always been inspired by the Celtic world; or someone who has ancestry from the Celtic world who wishes to deepen your connection to those roots-- all are welcome.
