Wheel of The Year

Community-centered and family-friendly, these gatherings mark the turning of the Celtic calendar and invite people to come together in rhythm with the seasons.

These welcoming events offer space for nourishing connection, music, and food, creating a shared experience rooted in community.

The Wheel of the Year follows a solar calendar that reflects the changing seasons and the passage of time. It honors the natural cycles of life as seeds sprout, plants bud and bloom, fruit ripens, and everything eventually returns to the earth, continuing the endless turning of the wheel.

The Celtic calendar is centered on the cyclical shifts of the seasons. The original Celts celebrated four fire festivals, also known as cross-quarter celebrations, spaced evenly across the year to honor the sun’s movement through the seasons. These include Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasadh.

Alongside these are the solstices and equinoxes—Ostara, Litha, Mabon, and Yule—which are thought to come from non-Celtic traditions such as Germanic Paganism or Neolithic sources, bringing the full cycle to eight festivals throughout the year.

Our ancestors lived in harmony with these rhythms, marking the sun’s journey of growth and retreat to guide when to plow, sow, harvest, and rest. We look forward to more gatherings at each turn of the wheel, celebrating the seasonal shifts in weather and the natural world around us.

These moments create energetic doorways, offering a threshold into the next stage of the life journey. They ground us, even briefly, in a world that is always changing, and invite us to pause, reflect, celebrate, and give thanks.

Gatherings are offered on a sliding financial exchange to help make them as accessible as possible. Each event also includes a pot luck, with every attendee asked to bring one dish to share as the evening closes with a nourishing community meal.
