Seasonal Celebrations

Our seasonal celebrations, structured around the wheel of the year, are the foundation of everything we do at HARE, enabling us to meaningfully connect with nature through each season and create a sense of enchantment. A heartbeat holding rhythm for the other workshops that run throughout the year.

Previous Gatherings

We had a wonderful time at our Ostara Garden Party in March in May we celebrated Beltane or May Day, the midway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, a celebration of all living things on earth.

We made flower wreath crowns, herbal tea blends to take home, we made mischievous may day fairies, planted seeds and made seed bombs, tried using a pole lathe, and carving spoons. We drank Beltane lemonade and hawthorn flower essence. We wrote our thanks and hung them on our gratitude tree. there was also playdough, mud kitchen, a scavenger hunt and play for our younger guests.
