This is the third of a quarterly series where we will work with the Medicine Wheel, or Celtic Calendar, to understand behaviors in ourselves and others we encounter. We explore patterns in our lives and others' using these ancient festivals and the knowledge they contain. Typically, we will start with a talk and then explore this more in a Shamanic Drum Journey and share our experiences afterwards.
Lughnasadh is the Celtic Festival celebrated at the cross-quarter day between the Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. It is the liminal time between Summer and Fall where we recognize the energies of both starting to leave one behind and step into the next. It is a time of celebration, honoring the harvest and bounty of nature, of ourselves and those around us. It is traditionally an energetic feast, the culmination of the being of summer. It is a time for gratitude and joy.
Join us in ceremony as we celebrate and give gratitude together. We will use the drum to guide our celebration and embrace the energy of this bountiful time.
You don’t need to have attended the previous Medicine Wheel events or have any experience in this work to attend.

About Stephen Pitcher:
Stephen has recently moved from Ireland where he studied Shamanic and Druidic practices with teachers from Mexico, Ireland, and the U.K. The Shamanic path is a nature-based Indigenous wisdom helping us to understand ourselves and rooted in compassion, simplicity, appreciation, and balance. Stephen works with individual clients and groups in healing sessions and also uses these teachings in corporate practices and coaching. He firmly believes all this work is meaningless unless it helps us as we pay the gas bill, earn a living, and nurture our relationships.
