Spring Equinox – Ostara Celebration
Meadowsweet Seed Group
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Park Frankendael
1097 BS Amsterdam
19:00 – 20:30
Gather together to peacefully celebrate the second of three spring festivals – Spring Equinox / Ostara. In Amsterdam this is the time when many birds are nesting, leaves are sprouting, and yellow flowers are all around town. Wild Garlic should also be abundant, so do bring a paper bag if you would like to take a few home.
Feel free to wear your ceremonial cloak and spring crown if you like. Please try to bring your own candle / lantern, warm drink, and snack (for gezelligheid but also for grounding after the ceremony).
There will be a simple Druid ritual during the gathering, to celebrate nature at the Spring Equinox and to promote peace and safety throughout the world. We will also reflect on how the tree meditation and seed planting for peace and protection work developed, for those who attended the Imbolc gathering.
NB: This is an outdoor gathering – open to members of OBOD and friends – the adjacent restaurant will not be open when we gather, so the closest toilet facilities are about 5 minutes walk away, on the Middenweg, at a local bar.
Hope to see you there!
Please contact Lynn Shore with any questions.
