In ancient times, tribes would gather at specific times of the year to celebrate various aspects of the planting year. In autumn, the harvest was gathered, and celebrated, and shared. In spring, a new planting year and the promise of new life after the perils of winter were rejoiced. Not only would all the peoples of an area or tribe gather, but different tribes and peoples would gather to share cultures, and renewed friendship for the next planting cycle.

Burning woman may be different things to each participant, but we invite you to join us as we sweep out the remains of the last year, return to our more tribal roots, and gather to celebrate the waxing new year. We will gather our chaff to construct an ancient image reminiscent of the fertility goddesses of yore, and share with you the warmth of resulting pyre.

So, join us on the Vernal Equinox, in a primitive setting, as divergent groups share their cultural, historical and spiritual diversity. Bring the fire in your heart, or your hands, to the blaze we welcome you to share.
