Beltane Bhakti Gathering 2026 (Friday Day Ticket)

**As blossoms return and the earth breathes new life, this year’s Beltane Bhakti Gathering begins on Beltane itself—a celebration of spring, renewal, and fertility. An auspicious time 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 and guiding us. When we rest in this mystery, we open to deeper trust, presence, and connection. In Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva embodies transformation—both creation and dissolution—while Shakti represents the living energy of existence. Together, they remind us that life is both stillness and movement. At the gathering, we honour this union through sacred rituals such as Lingam puja, where we offer to the infinite beyond form. Through chanting, ceremony, meditation, yoga, nourishing food, and chai, we come together in celebration—grounded and cosmic, practical and infinite. **Whether Bhakti is new to you or already close to your heart, you are warmly invited. Come as you are. And if you can’t join the full festival but still wish to experience a taste of this beautiful gathering, you are very welcome to join us for the day.** _ **Please note: Camping is not included with multi-day tickets. If you need special arrangements, feel free to get in touch—we’ll do our best to support you. There’s a dedicated kids’ area with arts and crafts available throughout the day. A special kids’ lunch and dinner menu will also be offered, served during the regular lunch hours.** _
