Ffynnon Events

 Big things are happening at Ffynnon.

And we want to keep you informed about them because they’ll require some (temporary) changes to Ffynnon events.

Here’s what’s happening:  Ffynnon is working with beautiful Columbia County (where we’re located) to make Ffynnon a “private park.” This will enable us to do everything we’ve all dreamed of for Ffynnon—from expanding our offerings to improving our facilities.

What this means:  is that we must temporarily stop holding events on Ffynnon property until we establish private park status. During this process we will be holding any and all Ffynnon events elsewhere.

What to do?  Be patient. We will be making individual announcements with all the changes to upcoming events and we invite you to keep an eye on our website and social media for all the news as it develops.  Be present. Please, continue to join us for events when you can! Be engaged. You are our community  and we need your support  as we make this transition. Please work  all of your wonderful  magic for us, and consider donating towards this effort if you are able.

With gratitude for every single one of you,

The Ffynnon Board

The Wheel of the Year

The Wheel of the Year embodies the 8 spokes of the solar cycle, based on the 2 solstices, 2 equinoxes, and 4 cross-quarter holidays.

Ffynnon’s Wheel of the Year is intimately tied to the dynamics of the seasons we experience on the land. Our connection is symbolized by identifying with the life cycle of the trees of our forest and by extension to all life; for without them, we are not.

The life cycle of the trees is at the heart of Ffynnon: Seed - Sprout - Seedling - Sapling - Stripling - Mature - Fruiting - Snag

    Join us for a three day festival to awaken the energies of Spring in the Earth Goddess and in ourselves.

    Loosely based on British May Day festivals, it is a festival of flowers, bonfires, feasting, and dancing. We help awaken the energies of Spring in the Earth Goddess and in ourselves. The Main Ritual includes the procession of the ‘Obby ‘Oss who brings in fertility of every kind participants desire. The ‘Oss sometimes captures folks beneath his skirt—and they get special blessings. Accompanied by The People and music, the ‘Oss leads us to the merry May Pole to dance our winding dance.

    • Bonfires and dancing Friday and Saturday night
    • Community feast on Saturday in which we all gather together and feed each other beautiful, delightful things; bring sharable finger-type foods
    • Request all to bring flowers from which to make crowns and decorate the hoop at the top of the May Pole
    More event details coming soon!
