Dear Friends,

Beltane is the great bon-fire ritual-fest -  the last of the Spring awakening festivals - marking the half-way point between the Equinox and Summer Solstice some 6 weeks away from today. We had a beautiful gathering on the top of Corral Canyon culminating the men and women's gathering with our May Pole made from the land - the Yucca stalk and wild spring flowers (decorated with Genius by Lauren Hanna and Carole Westerman). The Maypole upon the earth is the Lingam-Yoni union of the masculine and feminine.

To celebrate this integration, we will be in an all-day immersion this coming Full-moon at Yoga Tree joined by Hamsa Lila members Vir McCoy and Evan Fraser. We will be offering this Tandava-Lasya as part of Shakti Fest in a few weeks - the great Bhakti festival in the desert.

Whereever you are, light a Beltane fire today or with this weekend's full moon, honor the shivalinga that you can see rising everywhere including in our own bodies, spine and heart.

Blessings in all directions,
Love

Shiva
