September 16th 2018

Many celebrations of Mabon include libation offerings to TREES and honouring of ‘The Green Man’.  We’ll be talking about TREES, how amazing they are, the language of trees and how each of us relate to trees.  We will also be discussing the changing seasons, how we’re preparing for winter and the rainy season and what we will be leaving on the vine and what we will be reaping for the final harvest (literally if you have a garden and metaphorically as well).  Trees make a nice canopy for the rain 🙂
