Beltane - Celtic Summer (Returning to the Light)
April 24th • Noon – 9 PM

Lughnasadh (Lugh’s Feast)
July 31st Noon – 9 PM
Shamanic Death Ritual: “Today is a great day to die.” When we release fears of our death we embrace our life. You will experience how to live on purpose in the present moment. By exploring the Celtic myths of the Mabinogian we will journey to explore the meaning of life, death, and rebirth.


Samhain Celebration (The Celtic New Year)
Oct 30st Noon – 9 PM
The Wild Hunt is a form of ritual battle against the coming forces of death and destruction. Here at the gateway of Samhain, we work with the Bone Mother to help the souls of the dead cross over, as we gently sing them home. The Fomorian gods of chaos are kept at bay as we dance the hunt in a collective shamanic experience.


This experience includes, a Celtic Fire Ceremony with the Ancient Wicker Man, Wild Hunt a Collective Shamanic Experience, Ceremonial work with the Bone Mother, Sacred Oak Knowledge Offerings, and Dedication to the Land and the First People

Full Moon Ceremonies - with Eagle Skyfire

Walking Winds is hosting Eagle Skyfire and her Full Moon Ceremonies.

In the spirit of Love, Honor, & Respect, these sacred ceremonies of the Taino people are open to all who wish to share fellowship, and prayer. These rituals are conducted in the tradition of the Caney, the Native peoples of the Caribbean. The Red Road of all Native Americans throughout the Americas are honored.

For all Full Moon gatherings you may want to bring something to sit upon. Rattle, and drums are always welcomed. A wonderful way to celebrate community is to bring a finger food or non-alcoholic drink to share after Circle. During Thanksgiving and New Fire ceremonies a covered dish rather than finger food is requested.

A gift for the celebrant (Eagle Skyfire) is customary. She is in need of traditional gifts of cedar, sage, natural tobacco, sweet grass, & all cotton cloth (broad is good) to make prayer robes. One yard of one color is a fine gift that would be much appreciated. The *solid* colors that she uses are red, yellow, black, white, light green, dark green, or blue.

Please contact Eagle Skyfire at

Hatha Yoga/Power Yoga/Pilates

Indira Gandhi once said, "You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose." This is what yoga offers to students.


Yoga is an excellent form of moving mediation the strengthens the body, mind and spirit. As you stretch through a wide range of motion and weight-shifting, you are continually balancing, and with repetition will enjoy greater flexibility, build deep core stamina and long, toned muscles. Yoga helps to align the spine and whole skeletal structure, creates firmer neck muscles, improves and corrects posture.


Deep breathing techniques expand lung capacity, can lower blood pressure and will stimulate the circulation.... all this goodness begins with your breath.
