 We will be celebrating Midsummer on Saturday evening June 22nd this year. Again, the ritual will be largely virtual, and I will post the Zoom link a few days before. Gather at 7pm MDT, ritual 7:30 or thereabouts. 

Apologies for no notice for Beltane - I was ill, and due to our video tech being unavailable, in the event the ritual was canceled.

And planning ahead - our October Rocky Mountain Retreat will be the weekend of October 18-20th this year, and the theme will be "Sacred Darkness" - so mark your calendars now!
