Ostara Tea Party
Come and enjoy a tea party with ritual and ceremony that brings another turn of the wheel to our year.
Celebrating Ostara:

- Tarot Cards
- Pendulums
- Scrying tools
Activities
The Tea Party:
We will be, of course, hosting a tea party that includes hot tea and snacks. If you have dietary restrictions or allergens, please email or call us ahead of time, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. You are welcome to bring snacks and your own tea if you’d like. Extra electric tea kettles are also requested.
Ceremony and Ritual:
The whole tea party is the ceremony. It does include a ritual of welcoming Spring on this equinox, which is the major reason for our gathering. Expect about 2-3 hours for the ceremony.
What is Ostara?
Ostara is a time of beginnings. Consistent themes include renewal, balance, and fertility.
