May day is Beltane, a moment of energy in the year. We extinguish old flames and light more anew; we run great distances and jump over bonfires. We decorate ourselves, our homes, and our water sources with the brightest yellow flowers. This time is a celebration of youth, of workers, of galvanizing strength.
This is the fifth event in a series from The Gather In Collective, an exciting collaboration of three women storytellers – Maria Gillen from Ireland, Shona Cowie from Scotland, and Kama Roberts from Wales. Joined by special guest, Daniel Alison.
With thanks to James Jones-Morris for the artwork.
