THE PORTAL
Beltane marks the passage from orientation to expression.
What has been envisioned and clarified now seeks contact, movement, and relationship. Energy no longer remains balanced and contained, it wants to circulate.
This is the portal where inner fire steps fully into life, and where presence is tested through connection, intensity, and truth.

THEME
Beltane carries the force of embodied expression and conscious union. It is the time when life energy moves outward, seeking contact, creativity, and relationship.
This portal invites men to inhabit their vitality fully, including sexual energy, not as impulse or performance, but as a grounded, relational force. Expression becomes honest. Pleasure becomes presence. Brotherhood offers containment and reflection, allowing intensity to circulate without dispersion.
Beltane teaches how masculine and feminine principles meet within experience: initiative and receptivity, fire and flow.
From this union, creativity gains direction, and desire becomes a power capable of shaping life with integrity and joy.

THE ENERGY
The energy of Beltane is expansive, warm, and connective.
It moves through the body, awakens sensation, and invites energy to circulate between self and other.
This is living fire: playful, fertile, and intense, yet requiring presence to remain coherent. Without awareness it disperses; with grounding it becomes creative power. This energy sharpens sensitivity to rhythm, timing, and contact, teaching how to stay centered while opening.
Beltane trains the capacity to hold intensity with clarity, to allow desire without losing direction, and to let vitality flow in relationship. Here energy becomes relational intelligence,
capable of nourishing creativity, connection, and shared reality
with respect, discernment, and embodied joy.

ENTERING THE PORTAL
Preparation for Beltane supports grounded vitality and embodied presence.
In the 10 days leading up to the gathering, participants follow an Oshawa nr.7 diet, a simple whole-grain (rice, buckwheat) regimen traditionally used to increase YANG energy.

This dietary simplicity strengthens center and structure, creating a stable base from which creative and sexual energy can rise without dispersion.
Movement, breath, and moments of silence accompany this preparation, loosening the body while maintaining inner axis.
You arrive ready to open, express, and connect with clarity, strength, and integrity.
