New Moon in the Valley invites you to join us for a family-friendly Lughnasadh ritual!
This is the first of 3 harvest festivals observed by many eurocentric traditions, often observed with Bardic competitions and feats of strength. As such, we will be enjoying some outdoor games together (corn hole, horseshoes) after a harvest-themed ritual. We invite all attendees to bring seasonally appropriate items for our altar and any drums if they would like to provide some percussion for the games.
Post-ritual we will also enjoy a modest community potluck, please bring food to share (label all ingredients).
This event is free to the public. Cash donations to offset expenses and the cost of future events are welcome but not mandatory. Our events are rain or shine, dress for the weather! The UMass Sunwheel can be hard to search on a map, here's some guidance in locating us:

In the spirit of supporting the larger community we will be collecting non-perishable food items for donation to the Amherst Survival Center.

We are a Pagan networking group in Western Massachusetts who seek to build community through public Pagan/Earth Centered holiday celebrations and providing opportunities for workshops to foster personal growth and learning about Pagan traditions.
Our goal is to bring accessible rituals to the general public. If you want to get involved in future events please follow our facebook page, reach out to a host, or ask us at the ritual!
