🌸 Mad Hatter Beltane Tea Party in the Woods
An Enchanted Evening & Firelit Celebration
Saturday, May 2nd | Whispers of Nature Sacred Grove | Nebo, NC
Time: 5:00-9:30
Cost: $30.00
All the best people are bonkers… do join me for tea.
Once a year, when spring is in full bloom and the veil between the wild and the ordinary grows thin, we gather in the woods for something a little magical… and a little bit mad.
You are invited to step into an enchanted forest tea party inspired by the whimsical spirit of the Mad Hatter and the ancient celebration of Beltane — a time of fire, fertility, joy, and wild aliveness.
This is not your ordinary tea party.
This is a celebration of spring in all her playful, blooming glory.
☕ The Mad Hatter Beltane Tea Party in the Woods
Beneath the trees of Whispers of Nature Sacred Grove, long tables will appear as if by magic — adorned with teacups, flowers, lanterns, moss, and curious woodland treasures.
Guests are encouraged to arrive in their most whimsical, woodland, or Mad Hatter inspired attire.
Think:
🎩 Beautiful hats
🌸 Flower crowns
🫖 Tea party elegance
🍄 Woodland magic
🌿 Playful madness
We will gather for a delightful and slightly mischievous Beltane Tea Party where laughter, storytelling, and connection are part of the ceremony.
Expect:
• Herbal teas and woodland treats
• Playful surprises and curious moments
• Lighthearted games and laughter
• A celebration of creativity, beauty, and joy
• Time to wander the forest paths and connect with new friends
This part of the gathering is meant to awaken the childlike wonder that Beltane invites.
🔥 As Evening Falls…
As the sun lowers behind the trees, the celebration shifts.
Lanterns glow.
The fire is lit.
The energy deepens into the ancient rhythm of Beltane — a time of life force, creativity, passion, and renewal.
We will gather around the fire for a Beltane celebration beneath the stars, honoring the turning of the wheel and the vibrant energy of the season.
The evening may include:
🔥 A ceremonial fire
🌿 Seasonal reflection and intention
💃 Music, movement, and celebration

Beltane reminds us that life is meant to be lived fully, wildly, and joyfully.
