Throughout history and in all civilizations, there are rituals reflecting nature’s rhythms, important transitions, and significant moments in the cycle of the year. Nowadays, festivals offer a beautiful way of living into the cycle of the year; we can feel enlivened and strengthened by participating in seasonal rituals. When we reverently enter into active participation with the cycle of the year, we can feel nourished through a deepened community bond, as well.
The May Faire is a festive event honoring the change of the seasons from darkness to light. Some say it began as a pagan tradition, while others say it includes the celebration of the advent of Spring. At Highland Hall, we have embraced moving beyond a strictly Eurocentric approach and now sometimes offer other cultural dances, too.
