This event is open to anyone and will take place in the Sanctuary (hopefully) which is the outdoor space at River Hall. If the weather is unfriendly for humans we will still meet in the hall with candles and such but we will not be able to burn things
Jean will be holding space for folks to discuss life and faith, to work on rituals or to be supported in releasing things/people/behaviors that no longer serve you.
Fireside is a mostly casual gathering in the Sanctuary where we hold space for each other, enjoy respite around the sacred fire and reconnect with other Pagans and Pagan-friendly folx.
If you choose to burn something in the fire make sure it fits in a standard backyard fire pit, and is legal, safe, yours to burn.
This a great no pressure gathering for new folx. Come as you are, when you are able and leave when you need to.
Please park on Swallow and follow the sidewalk around to the far side of the garage. We might be in the Hall, beyond the yellow door but most likely we will be in the Sanctuary. Enter through the gate then follow the dirt and mulch path around the house and through the archway entry of the Sanctuary.
For Mother’s Day, let’s honor Mother Earth with some sculptures like ancient people. The evening begins at 5:30 with our usual potluck. Please bring something to share if you are able and plan to eat with us even if you can’t bring something. Around 6:00 the evening will begin with Announcements, Yahoos and Prayer Requests before we begin crafting. Zoom will NOT be available this evening. This event is open to all and takes place at River Hall 901 E Swallow. Please park on Swallow and follow the sidewalk around to the far side of the garage
Come play with clay and make yourself a new spiritual tool or image. Supplies provided, but people are welcome to bring their own trinkets they wish to incorporate.
The Dark Moon group is cancelled for May.
I apologize an look forward to seeing you all again in June.

It’s Cinco de Mayo! Come and learn about the influence of the Mexican people on the State of Colorado from Jordan.
The study of Paganism is not just the study of Religion, but also of history and cultures. Cultures are the context that religions exist within, and so are essential to the understanding of various faiths. There is also a movement in Neo-Paganism to look locally to the spirits and Gods of the places in which we live, instead of looking to our blood ancestors in Europe and their Gods.
This week we are using Cinco de Mayo as a reason to look at one of the often overlooked cultures that contributed to making Colorado what it is today, and molding the energy in the land beneath us.
From 7pm to 9pm Council will be in the Hall, hanging out, waiting to see whoever stops by. Have some questions? Need some face time? Never been here and you want to check out the space on an informal, less busy night? Open Hours is the place to be. Council wanted to find a time where we could be available for this casual time with whoever needs it so usually, on the first Friday of the month, the three of us are in the Hall waiting for YOU to stop by. There is nothing planned, no program or speaker, no ritual. You can stay for five minutes or stay the full two hours, whatever you need.
Please park on Swallow at 901 E Swallow and make your way around to the far side of the garage. Enter through the yellow door. We look forward to seeing you and to meeting new people!
Please plan to arrive at the Hall/Sanctuary around NOON 12:00pm. The Beltane Ritual will begin around 12:30pm on Sunday April 28th. We are starting early because a traditional Covenant of the River Beltane Ritual includes many things, including breaks between the sections and including the “will we ever get the ring on the pole” time! Plan to walk through the Bel Fires with the community and to Bless the Plow with blessings upon the land and for the beings of the land including the Fae! The pole will be erected, the ring eventually set up on the top after much fun tossing it and the OVER UNDER winding of the ribbons will make us all smile and laugh and remember how great it is to celebrate spring with so many like minded people.
A potluck is planned for around 4:00 put the timing of Beltane is always Fae Standard Time, so we get there when we do. Please bring something to share if you can but still, plan to eat even if you can’t bring something.
This event is open to all ages and to the general public. If you are curious about Covenant of the River or what a Maypole is like we welcome you to celebrate with us.
Ritual garb encouraged but not required, just something that makes the time seem more sacred to YOU! Clothing, cloak, jewelry, staff, athame, head wreath, bells, face paint, etc.
Also known as the “Ruminant Beltane” this celebration will involve a more contemplative and quiet reflection on the the Sabbat. But Beltane energy mixed with the energy of a Full Moon maybe bring ideas we haven’t thought of yet. This event is open to anyone and we don’t limit by age. If you or your younger person can focus and respect the quiet nature of the evening, they are welcome to attend. Join Jean at 7:00 for gathering time and activities will begin around 7:30. Come to the Hall at 901 E Swallow. Park on Swallow and head around to the far side of the garage. We may be outside in the Sanctuary depending on the weather.
Before the potluck and craft at the Hall, we will be meeting at Landings Park on Boardwalk near Harmony. This has been our adopted park for well over a decade and there is a sign there to prove it! We pick up trash there once a month and enjoy the walking and the talking while we do it. Meet at the shelter house at 3:30. (This will be our last “winter” Park Cleanup before we start spending the entire gathering time there) It takes less than an hour and there is a break in between the picking up and going to the Hall so you can go back to get the food, if you want to bring any,
After the cleanup, we will have a potluck dinner at 5:30 as usual. Please bring something to share – or not! But either way, plan to eat with us, there’s plenty. After the announcements and the yahoos and prayer requests, Chel will be leading a craft in making head garlands. If you’ve known Chel for very long you can tell with there’s a ritual coming because she always has a head wreath to wear. Beltane is coming and it’s a great time to wear flowers and call the fae and generally be festive. So come tonight and make one for yourself or your friend or your child or your mother for Mother’s Day or Scandinavian Midsummer!
ALL supplies will be provided at no cost to you. If you have something special you want to add into your wreath you are welcome to bring it. These are “long lasting” wreaths made from artificial flowers and plants meant to last for more than one ritual

Enter through the gate then follow the dirt and mulch path around the house and through the archway entry of the Sanctuary.
The fae are calling! It’s time to get the sanctuary cleaned up before Beltane!
Arrive at 2:00 to help with all kinds of projects. Inside the hall and all kinds of things in the sanctuary. Stay as long as you can, come late if you need to. We will stop working around 5:30 and have our usual potluck. Please bring cold dishes that we can keep in the Hall for hours. Council will provide All Beef Hotdogs and a veggie meat alternative.
Unlike usual Sundays, when the potluck is ended, the evening is ended.
