About the Event
Fertile Ground Gathering is an annual Beltane festival celebrating since 2008, and takes place at one of the historic cabin campgrounds at Prince William Forest Park, in Triangle, VA.
Our volunteer team puts together a rich, powerful, rejuvenating celebration that has become a much anticipated annual retreat for many in the region and beyond.
Each year we create an integral experience around a central theme, and all our workshops, rituals, activities, and even performances are designed to come together for an unforgettable journey.

This year's theme is Dragonfire
In myth and story, the dragon has long embodied strength and power. Likewise the image of fire evokes passion, transformation, creativity, and change. This year, at Fertile Ground Gathering, we will be reaching deep within ourselves, to find and awaken our own strength and power, our own inner dragon, and embracing the transformation that each of us needs. We will shed the parts of ourselves that we have been clinging to because the world has told us that we should. In their place, we will kindle within us the things we know we must, so that we can fully embrace the reality of who we choose to be. Come join us for an immersive and intense four-day experience of learning and community, music and ritual, where you will meet the side of yourself, full of potential and power and passion, which has always been there...revealed in Dragonfire.
We are excited to do it again every year, and we always look forward to seeing new and familiar faces at Beltane!
