Join us for a Beltane ritual, plus fun, games, community and many other activities!
Our 2023 UUS:E Mayfair is conceived as a spiritually grounded, community-building event. The centerpiece is a Celtic-inspired, seasonal Beltane ritual in the memorial garden, organized by the UUS:E Pagans.
Scheduled Events
Vegan donuts and coffee –10:00 AM to Noon, UUS:E Program Room Purchase vegan donuts from Karin’s Donuts. UUS:E will provide the coffee.
Beltaine Ritual – 11:00 AM to Noon in the UUS:E Memorial Garden. Bring two “clooties” (prayer ribbons) to tie on the May Trees in the Memorial Garden. What are clooties? Cut two strips of cloth from a piece of old, beloved clothing (which carries your energy in it). One clootie will be used for a personal intention, the other as a prayer for peace and justice in the world.
