Seasonal Celebrations
We honour the natural cycles in Nature by celebrating the eight seasonal festivals on the pagan Wheel of the Year. In doing so we are able to align ourselves to the natural rhythm which helps to structure our lives and work in the current solar cycle and over the years. It also provides a sense of community with all living beings.
Below are data of seasonal celebrations that are held at the Seed of Life stone circle at Treviscoe's private land on Trencrom hill near Hayle, Cornwall. Some of the ceremonies will be performed by us or by likeminded people. The celebrations are held outside in nature on a field with an 'engraved' Seed of Life pattern surrounded by a stone cirle that was erected by late Hamish Miller and his wife Ba. Seasonal celebrations have been held here for more than 20 years and the place is steeped in magic, love and light. The duration of the ceremony itself is approx 2 hours. Afterwards there ususally is a shared pot-luck fingerfood buffet and sitting around the fire. Open heart contributions like poems, songs, music and storytelling are most welcome. The celebrations are suitable for children. Please mind the uneven ground (creative rabbits at work).
ALL WELCOME.
