- **Event Description**: Beltain 2026-  A Druid Retreat  in the Shropshire Hills

Initiation of the Sacred Animal

As the Wheel of the Year turns and Beltain rises, we gather at the threshold of fire — where life surges, desire awakens, and the land comes fully alive.

This is a time of rising. Of embodiment. Of becoming.

Over five days and five nights, we step out of the ordinary and into sacred space, held in community and guided by the living energy of the season. Together, we will explore the wild current of Beltain through ritual, movement, fire, and shared experience.

At the heart of this retreat lies a journey into Initiation of the Sacred Animal — a deep remembering of instinct, body, and the untamed self. Rooted in the traditions of Beltain and the weaving of the Maypole, this work invites you to step beyond the thinking mind and into lived, physical expression.

Through ceremony, fire, and embodied practice, we awaken the senses and reconnect with the rhythms of land, self, and community.

As day turns to night, we gather around the flames for our Beltain Fires, and step into celebration with our Masked Animal Ball — an invitation to embody, express, and honour the many faces of the wild within.

This is not just a retreat — it is an ignition.

A time to awaken what has been sleeping.
A time to celebrate what is alive.
A time to step fully into the bright half of the year.

Whether you come to reconnect, to celebrate, or to embrace your own wild nature, you will be held in a space that is both grounded and alive with possibility.
