Rowan and Amber K

This course provides a comprehensive groundwork in the ways, whys, and wherefores of pagan ritual. We explore the many different types of ritual: solitary personal rituals, group magickal working, seasonal celebrations, and rites of passage. Specific topics include the preparation of altars and the use of symbolism, rituals for people of mixed religious orientation, the astrological timing of ritual, effective invocation of deity, how to engage the ritual participants in the process, and as well as the basics of creating sacred space and focusing energy. Participants will keep a journal throughout the weekend and design and perform their own ritual using ideas drawn from the workshop.

Mindful, Magickal Communication 
Saturday - Sunday, June 9-10, at Ardantane, $110 

Scott Lamont and Tehom

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.
