A  note on last minute registrations: 
If  you plan to take a class, register at least a month ahead if at all  
possible.  Otherwise, you run the risk that the class you are interested in  won't 
be held, because the teachers don't know about your interest until it is  too 
late. 
We just had two classes that were  below minimum registrations within two 
weeks of the class date.  In  one case, the teachers decided to cross their 
fingers and wait, in another, the  teachers canceled the class, as they have every 
right to do.  In both  cases, the classes did have enough last minute 
registrations to go  forward.   
What's my point?  Plan  ahead.  It helps everybody.

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:  Ethics  for Pagan Leaders: The Good, the Bad, and the Muggley  
 
Sponsor:  School of Pagan  leadership 
When:  Sat-Sun  Jul 21-22  
Where:  Ardantane 
Instructors:  Amber K and Scott Lamont 
 
How do we know when we are  leading or participating with honesty, integrity, 
and honor? What guidelines can  light our way through the murky landscape of 
Pagan relationships  and politics? How do Pagan standards of ethical behavior 
differ from those  in the muggle world that surrounds us, and how are they the 
same? Join is for a  weekend of lively discussion, scenarios familiar and 
unfamiliar, exercises and  resources. Discuss both ethical theory and the 
application  of theory to  situational ethics. Emerge with your path more clearly 
marked, by your own hand  and heart. Along the way: gorgeous scenery, tasty 
snacks and beverages, fun  companions on the journey of discovery.
Amber K is the author of  Covencraft, True Magick, and other books on magick 
and Paganism; she has been a  Wiccan priestess for 25 years, was First 
National Officer of Covenant of the  Goddess for three terms, and is nationally known 
as a Craft teacher. 
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
