Come celebrate Lunar Beltane and CJ’s well-welcomed return to mix making!
In this dance wave we’ll explore the spirit of Beltane.
We dance to spark the ember of our own metaphorical ‘need-fire’ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-fire ) to light the fires of our community as the summer season begins.
We will dance and light our collective fires to and open a portal to commune with the ancient ‘aos si’ ( the fae! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aos_s%C3%AD ) as the veil thins!

There is plenty of parking behind the house and perpendicular parking on the left and right sides of the driveway, Please pull all the way into lot to maximize parking availability. Overflow parking on the lawns at the commons is only available if the lawns are completely dry. The only parking on the road is available in front of 31 Bethesda Rd. you may parallel park here. The neighbors have been very supportive of our event, and we in turn support the neighbors by parking in the designated areas and not hanging out by the cars. We welcome you to park in our designated parking areas as we can easily accommodate all cars there.
