Please join our growing community at Bridget Center in celebrating the beginning of the brighter-light of summer at the cross quarter time between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice often known as Bealtaine, or May Day, and International Worker’s Day.

This indoor and outdoor celebration offers the opportunity to learn about how ancient traditions honored this season of greening, bird song, plantings, birth and fertility, and how our old and new traditions and actions can align and contribute to the healing and abundance of the natural world. Learn from storyteller-wisdom keeper-interdenominational minister Hazel Archer Ginsberg about the Celtic tradition of Bealtaine and how other ancient cultures revered these seasonal markers in the Cycle of the Seasons.

We will offer gratitude and blessings to the land, soil, plants, and all those that care for and steward the earth and its animals by making and applying biodynamic farm preparations to enliven and restore the soil. We will learn about Bridget’s Gardens, its permaculture design plans and participate in planting perennial native wildflowers, black currants, red osierdogwoods, willows, and elderberries. Come plant with us and take some home too! Clark Stamm (Acting Director of Bridget Center, Permaculturist, and Artist), and Angela Curtes (Grounded LLC and fellow Bridget Center Mission Circle member) will facilitate these activities.

We look forward to seeing you, sharing our vision, mission and our exciting new projects underway at Bridget Center and finding ‘Common Ground to Grow On’ with our ever-growing community! An outdoor fire will be lit, please dress for the weather and activities. This event is free to the public, with the kind request you consider any level of donation for our community services. Bridget Center is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization of Wisconsin.
