Fundraising 
Got  an idea for a fundraising event, such as a garage sale, car cleaning, 
bake  sale?  Contact _publicity at ardantane.org_ (mailto:publicity at ardantane.org) 
,  and we'll advertise it here. (see above for an example) 
Right now the bank owns most of Ardantane's land: 25 acres  in the gorgeous 
Red Rocks area of northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains, with  National Forest 
on two sides. 
By raising $120,000 we can pay off the bank mortgage and  save about $60,000 
in interest over the next few years.   Once we buy out the remaining staff 
shares (interest-free!), then the whole  thing will belong to Ardantane, Inc. – 
and to all of us in the Pagan  community, and to our children, and our  
descendants.

What:  Mindful,  Magickal Communication 
 
Sponsor:  School of Pagan  leadership 
When:  Sat-Sun  Jun 9-10 
Where:  Ardantane 
Instructors:  Scott Lamont  
 
Conflict is a natural part of  all relationships, even among individuals and 
groups with very congruent goals  and values. This practical workshop will 
build upon basic principles of  communication, attentiveness, and attunement to 
provide information on how  create and maintain sacred space for effective, 
mindful communication within a  framework of Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. The 
focus will be on conflict  resolution, the clergy role, and applying pagan 
principles and cosmology to the  intricate art of hearing and being heard. 
Concepts relevant to mediation and  consensus decision making will be introduced. 
Sharing of personal experiences  and insights is encouraged, and participants 
will have hands on time to work  with the tools and techniques discussed through 
role play and exercises. Prior  completion of the "Basics of Communication" 
course or its equivalent is  recommended. 
Scott Chisholm Lamont has been  a lifelong pagan. First called by the Goddess 
in the foothills of the Canadian  Rockies as a young teen, he has been 
exploring and expanding his magickal skills  in healing, environmental and political 
activism, and community building ever  since. A Wiccan Priest in the West 
Coast Eclectic Tradition, he has taught at  the coven and community level, as 
well as for Ardantane. He is the High Priest  of the Circle of the Winter Moon, 
and a nursing educator at UNM Hospitals. A  certified mediator and trained 
consensus facilitator, he is currently working on  a teaching resource for the use 
of consensus by formal organizations. He can be  reached at 
fireheart at thuntek.net.
