The Season’s Invitation
Something Is Coming. Prepare the Fire.
Look at what is moving toward us.
The Earth herself is turning. All through spring, the viriditas — the greening force of the Living Spirit — has been driving the growth, pushing seeds through soil, building momentum, moving you toward what you said yes to in winter's dark. That rising force is completing its work now. And in its place, something warmer is beginning to stir.
The Heart is waking up.
At Beltane, the Earth's energy shifts — from the Living Spirit's upward drive to the Heart's outward radiance. From striving into belonging. From direction into warmth. This is not a small change.
It is the turn of the whole season, written into the body of the land and into yours.
And the sky is moving with it. In the weeks ahead, the Aries New Moon will crack open the threshold — that first spark, the impulse before the plan. And then, on Beltane itself, a Scorpio Full Moon rises on May Day. Fire above. Depth below.
The bonfire and the underworld on the same night.
This gathering is a remembering of how to meet that threshold consciously — to tend the conditions that let the Heart's fire burn true rather than burn through.
Your ancestors built their Beltane fires under exactly this sky — and they knew what they were doing. The belonging they celebrated was fierce and full, wide enough to hold every part of you. The brightness and the shadow. The longing you've carried quietly and the joy that has been waiting for permission.
All of it welcome. All of it belonging to the fire.
We gather on April 24th — one week before Beltane — precisely because what is coming deserves preparation.
When you cross the Beltane threshold into May Day, you will be ready. Rooted in your body, awake in your Heart, tended and prepared to let the fire of this season do what it came here to do.
What We Will Explore Together
In This Free 60-Minute Gathering
We will step across the Beltane threshold together — through the teachings of the fire, through your body, and into the felt sense of what it means to belong.
The sky and the season — what's actually happening
The Aries New Moon. The Scorpio Full Moon on Beltane. What the sky is doing and why it matters — not as abstraction, but as felt reality in your body and your life right now.
The fire festival your ancestors knew
What Beltane meant to the people of old Europe — and why its medicine is not nostalgia, but a direct transmission for this exact moment in history. Fire as belonging. Community as sacred technology. Joy as a practice, not a mood.
The Heart's wisdom — and what this season is asking of you
The Earth's energy is shifting from the Living Spirit's upward drive to the Heart's outward radiance. We will meet what it means to let the Heart lead, why so many of us arrive at this threshold exhausted rather than radiant, and what Scorpio's depth reveals about what has been dimming the fire. The underworld and the bonfire in conversation.
A somatic practice for tending the Sacred Spark
Your joy is a signal. It tells you where you are in right relationship with your own life. We will learn to feel for it — in the body, beneath the exhaustion, past the performing — and begin to tend it like the sacred fire it is.
A Beltane ritual to carry the fire home
Practice and guidance for crossing the threshold of May Day with intention — how to prepare your body and your space for the fire season ahead.
The Wound the Season Is Calling
Here is what I see, again and again, in the people called to this work:
The Living Spirit has been working overtime. All spring — all year, perhaps for years — you have been pushing, planning, striving, holding it all together. The upward drive that serves growth has become the only gear you know. And now the season is asking for something entirely different: to stop rising and start radiating. To stop proving and start belonging.
But a Heart that has been asked to keep striving cannot radiate. A fire that burns without tending, without ground beneath it, without belonging around it — eventually burns inward rather than outward. It consumes rather than warms.
The spark is there. It never left. But somewhere along the way, you learned that your brightness was too much — or not enough. That joy needed to be earned. That belonging was something to prove your way into rather than something woven into the very fabric of your existence.
And so the Heart's fire banked down. Not because it died, but because it never received the conditions it needed to open.
The Scorpio Full Moon rising on Beltane knows this place. It illuminates exactly what has been kept in shadow — the longing you've stopped letting yourself feel, the warmth in your chest that has nowhere to go, the belonging your Heart has been quietly aching for.
Beltane does not ask you to perform joy.
It asks you to tend it.
This is the difference that changes everything.

Igniting the Fire of Belonging is a free live offering and prelude to:
Rewild Yourself
Reclaim Your Energy, Healing & Destiny
Fire needs ground to burn well. Without roots, it consumes. Without belonging, it isolates.
Without a regulated nervous system beneath the radiance,
even the most genuine Heart light burns through you rather than warming you from within.
This is what Rewild Yourself builds. Not the fire — you already have that. The ground that lets you hold it.
Rewild Yourself is a 12-week self-paced sacred container for spiritually sensitive people — to rewild your nervous system, root into seasonal wisdom, and build the embodied capacity to heal, create, and belong.
It is where you lay the foundation for everything the fire season is asking of you.
The Beltane intake is open. This is where the path begins.
Your Guide
I'm Ro Marlen — threshold walker, wisdom teacher, keeper of the European Wise Woman tradition.
Since 1997, I have been guiding sensitive, spiritually attuned people back into the rhythms of body, land, and ancestors — drawing on decades of direct conversation with the living world — the spirits of place, the ancestors, and the sacred beings of land that still exist and still need our tending.
I know what it is to carry fire that has nowhere to go. To be called to a life of heart and purpose while running on empty. To feel the warmth in your chest and have no idea how to bring it safely into the world.
Beltane has been one of my great teachers. Come, let it be yours.
I am here for those who feel too much, who live at the edge, and who are ready to stop apologizing for the fire in them.
