Yeah, well, what do they know. In honor of our Celtic brethren from aeons past and in the spirit of fertility and all that is erotically sacred to the coming of age of the new year, Our Haven Sanctuary presents a Beltaine festival like none the Kentuckiana region has seen.

5 days of fun, frolic, festivities, fraternity, and maybe a little education. It's all right here!

Say you want to frolic in the woods? How about 175 acres to play in? We have enough to room to satisfy the city dweller looking for a place to stretch out and the hard-core naturist alike.

What does Beltaine at Our Haven offer for festivities you ask? Why then, you've not been to one of our nightly drumming circles. We'll have some of the finest drummers in the area so bring your drum or your dancing ... feet, shoes, whatever ... and join right in. You've not seen the firespinners? Oh, then you must come! We'll also have some of the brightest new names in musical talent as well as those we've all come to know and love on sight.

It is well known in the area that you won't stay a stranger long at Our Haven. It's usually hard to pick out the first timers because they're welcomed so quickly into the fold that after just a few hours here, you'll wonder how your family grew so big overnight!

Alright, so maybe you'd like to learn a few things while you're here. Hey, you gotta do something during the daylight hours besides chase kids and butterflies. We have a jambed packed schedule of educational opportunities and workshops to keep your brain active while you're here, too. Whether you're looking for spirited theological discussions, craft workshops, or just open discussion groups, it's all right here.

Children 13-17 are HALF the adult rate and as always children 12 and under are free with their parent or legal guardian. (Due to the increase in maitenace costs this has changed effective the 2009 season.) All Our Haven sponsered events are clothing optional after 10pm unless otherwise posted. Read on for details and registration information.
