Join us for a weekend of mystery, devotion, and community – 4 days of dawn to dusk chanting, dancing, prayer and connection.

As blossoms return and the earth breathes new life, this year’s Beltane Bhakti Gathering begins on Beltane itself, a traditional celebration of spring, renewal, and fertility, an auspicious moment to open our hearts to the great mystery of life.

Our theme this year is The Divine Mystery.

Life is never fully graspable, there is always something greater moving through us, holding us, and guiding us.

When we learn to rest in this mystery, we open to a deeper sense of trust, presence, and connection. In bowing to its vastness and allowing it to guide us in ways we cannot always understand, we can become comfortable with the unknown.

At the Beltane Bhakti Gathering, you are invited to step into this mystery for yourself. Through devotional chanting, sacred ceremony, meditation, yoga, delicious food, and chai, we come together in a joyful celebration of the larger perspective: that life is both practical and infinite, grounded and cosmic.

Whether Bhakti is new to you or already close to your heart, you are warmly invited. Come as you are. Come to learn, to celebrate, and to experience the mystery of life in the company of a loving community.

Lord Shiva

In Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva is known as the great god of transformation, embodying both creation and dissolution. He reflects the mystery itself, the presence behind everything. Together with Shakti, the feminine power of life, he shows us that existence is both stillness and energy. At the gathering we will honour this union in a Lingam puja, offering to the stone that symbolises the infinite beyond form.

In the pujas we wash, offer perfume, feed, and honour the sacred. These are the same things we do in daily life: washing, caring, feeding, breathing, moving. These rituals remind us that nothing is separate, every act can be sacred.
