Ostara (or Eostre or Eostara, a word now commemorated in the word Easter) marks the vernal equinox, the beginning of spring. Finally, after a long winter, day and night balance out, with the Sun finally taking the lead over the Darkness. This is a time of celebration—the Goddess stirs in the earth, and we await her wakefulness and return of life to the earth at Beltane.

You are welcome to come to our celebration! If you have been to Grove before, you are welcome to bring a friend. Please bring:

• a potluck dish to share (with labeled ingredients, please);
• a food-bank item;
• a towel (if you’d like to hot-tub afterwards); and
• a proper state of mind to enter the Circle.
