Another turn around the Maypole

Our dates for 2009 have been announced! They are April 29-May 3 with a possible extension to April 28. Mark your calendars!

2008 sees us adding Wednesday to our event. It will be a pre-conference day which will be used for intensive work with some of your favorite presenters. More information will be available as we get further into the planning process. Look for pre-registration to open this fall.

A little information about our event:

Each year pagans, polyamorists, swingers, tantra practitioners, members of the leather community and other people with a passionate attitude towards life gathered together in Northern Maryland to celebrate Beltane with a variety of rituals, workshops and experiences. We embraced life and each other in an open environment full of excitement and joy. We invite you to become part of that community.

Here, you will find a supportive environment for exploring the sexually sacred and celebrating the ecstatic. You will find others of a like mind with whom to experience different ways of loving, different roads to achieving bliss. You'll be able to join an intentional community exploring the many facets of love and sex and the many ways they can be sacred.

In 2008, we'll have nationally and regionally known presenters offering workshops, lectures and hands-on demonstrations covering topics such as Tantra, Polyamory, personal intimacy, sexual orientation & gender issues, the changing definition of the family and communication skills. And of course, we will have workshops where the focus will be fun. We’ll also have drumming and dancing around the bonfire each night, a meet and greet dance on Thursday and play parties each night.

Our pansexual, clothing optional retreat attracts adults 18 & over from all backgrounds, orientations and walks of life. The only thing we ask is that you have an open mind and be nonjudgmental.

Beltane is held on a private 200-acre campground on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Northern Maryland. Only minutes from I-95, it is about 90 minutes from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from Baltimore.
