Blessings of Beltane
May 16– May 18 2008
Ozark Avalon Church of Nature
Boonville, MO
Meals except for Sensual Feast Included
Grand Ritual
Election of the Queen and Games for the Championship
Parties and Frolic
Auction for the Land Fund
Join the women and men of Ozark Avalon for this traditional adult
gathering to celebrate the fertility of springtime. Play with your loved
one in the meadows and woods and make new friends in our large flowering
community on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri river.
Singles and groups, straight, bi, gay or celibate: this is the season of
frolic and of fertility worship. This weekend is in honor of ourselves
and our bond to the land. Women under 35, regardless of childbearing
status may compete to be our May Queen. Wear your finery and all
contestants and their chosen ones will be in the Queens court. Enjoy the
Queen's Brunch and vote for our new Queen. This is one occasion where
the crystal dishes come out and elegance rules. The new Queen will be
elected from young women under the age of 35 and crowned in a ritual
that is our own Ozark Avalon tradition.
The Lord of the Games (played by Sage) will conduct the games where
handsome men and a few brave women compete for the title of champion.
Our May Queen will acknowledge the Champion with ribbons and kisses, but
of course the May King is her choice as always.
Also, don't forget the Sensual Feast Potluck on Saturday evening!!! We
feed each other finger foods in an outdoor setting vaguely reminiscent
of old Rome. Bring fruits, tidbits of cheese or meat, whipped cream or
cheese whiz or other things as your imagination serves you. The night
will see the grand fertility ritual where the land is blessed and we
shall be in the woods all night welcoming summer in.
The retreat begins Friday, May 16. Registration and kitchen open at
noon. Opening circle is at 8 p.m. After welcoming ritual, an alternative
lifestyle workshop and party will be happen at the barn, as well as a
tamer bonfire party. However, you are welcome to camp free Thursday
night and enjoy the beauty of the land.
Ample camping will be available with loud and quiet areas, close to
water and hot showers. Clothing optional. Alcohol is permitted but
please no illegal substances or firearms allowed. You will be asked to
sign a waiver on arrival. There will be a locked gate at this event so
that we may all be safe. If you arrive after gate hours you will have to
