1 – 4 May 2026

at Osho Leela,
Gillingham, Dorset, SP8 4RE

4 days of dawn to dusk chanting, dancing, prayer, connection and chai! As blossoms return and the earth breathes new life, this year’s Beltane Bhakti Gathering begins on Beltane itself, a traditional celebration of spring, renewal, and fertility, an auspicious moment to open our hearts to the great mystery of life. Our theme this year is The Divine Mystery. Life is never fully graspable, there is always something greater moving through us, holding us, and guiding us. When we learn to rest in this mystery, we open to a deeper sense of trust, presence, and connection. In bowing to its vastness and allowing it to guide us in ways we cannot always understand, we can become comfortable with the unknown. At the Beltane Bhakti Gathering, you are invited to step into this mystery for yourself.
