Attendance is not mandatory, but you will learn many helpful tips. Take a moment to look over the "What To Bring" list. If you think you will be lost without a certain item for the weekend, go ahead and pack it. Make sure you bring lots of ritual items, like clothing, staffs, jewelry, etc. During the Opening, Main and Closing Rituals, it is common to see participants dressed in their finest ritual garb. Robes, dresses, tunics, gowns, cloaks and capes decorated with symbols meaningful to the participants' traditions or body painting in colorful designs are worn by many. Plus, there is always lots of glitter!

Remember, you are here to have fun. If you have questions at any time throughout the weekend, please feel free to ask a Staff or Board member. We are here to help you have an enjoyable weekend. Be ready to meet many different people from many different paths. Bring an open mind and heart, and be ready to learn, teach, share, listen and make new friends.

Children's Learning Circle (LC):- Creating Our Space

Facilitator: Tim and Sherri Woody
Time slot: Friday Afternoon 2:00-4:00

Bring children to the their workshop area 5 minutes before LC's and pick them up immediately after LC's.

We will take this time to explore and familiarize ourselves with the camp and to decorate the children's area.

The Fool's Journey: Exploring the Major Arcana of the Tarot

Facilitator: Lance Brown
Time slot: Friday Afternoon 2:00-4:00

The Fool's Journey is a metaphor for our journey through life. Each card of the Major Arcana represents experiences in that journey we must incorporate into our lives to fully realize ourselves. We will walk with the Fool as he steps off the cliff at the beginning of his quest and ultimately attains mastery of himself and the Universe before returning to the cliff and stepping off to begin the cycle again. If you have a deck (or several!) please bring them with you. We will be sharing from a wide variety of decks, and the more the merrier.

Magickal Makings of Broom Ways

Facilitator: Amanda Marcias
Time slot: Friday Afternoon 2:00-4:00

- CANCELLED

Reiki: Healing Body, Mind and Spirit

Facilitator: Vickie Penninger

In this Learning Circle, I will explain the origins of Reiki, what it is, how it works to promote healing at every level, and how anyone can learn Reiki to use on self, others, plants and animals. I will demonstrate the hand positions on self and others. I will offer Reiki to volunteers from the audience so that attendees can feel the subtle, yet powerful, energy.

Priest/Priestess Training

Facilitator: Cherie Lassiter
Time slot: Friday Afternoon 2:00-4:00

What is a Priest or Priestess? She/He is a vessel for the Spirit, a living chalice for the light and power of the God/Goddess. In ancient times there were mystery schools to find and develop these gifts and powers. Those who chose or were chosen to be an instrument of healing, divination and the magical arts devoted years and lifetimes to become a voice or instrument of the Divine. This workshop offers a sacred space and time to assist one in accessing and remembering your God/Goddess self. We will explore Wicca, divination, ritual work and Elemental Magick. We will work to clarify and heal current issues and conflicts within your life in order to manifest your goals, dreams and desires of the heart. This workshop is open to all, beginning or advanced. We all have something to offer, learn and share. Come with an open heart and mind.

Body Art for Ritual

Facilitator: Tamia Buckingham
Time slot: Friday Afternoon 2:00-4:00

Since earliest times, world cultures have used the skin as a canvass for ritualistic art. Permanent body art - such as ritual scarification, piercing, and tattoo - often marked a rite of initiation or similar passage. Temporary body art, including henna (North African and Middle Eastern cultures) and woad (Celtic cultures), played a similar role.

Come explore temporary body art and unleash the images in your heart and mind on your own canvass of skin. Materials for henna, water-color markers, temporary tattoo inks, and rub-on tattoos will be available for adorning your body for the weekend. As well, examples of ritual body art from around the world will be available for inspiration.

There will be a $5 fee for this LC for materials.

Note! - For those participants that need to remain discreet in their mundane lives, please note: henna-work can remain on the skin for several weeks, whereas other forms will last just a few days.

Astrology: Weaving the Power of Planetary Cycles into our Personal Lives

In this workshop we will explore how the changing movement of the planets through the zodiac influences both our personal and collective experiences. Astrology helps us understand and bring significance to the circumstances we create. Studying these astrological cycles over time can help us see our patterns. It can help us reinterpret and heal the meaning of events in our past in a more empowering way that supports our intentions for the future. Astrological symbolism offers us lessons and choices to use the power of the present to create our reality. Lunar, Solar, and larger planetary cycles will be discussed in this workshop and people of all levels of understanding in astrology are welcome from beginner to advanced. There is no cost or materials needed for this workshop - just an open mind and a sense of awe and magic when gazing at the sky!

Got Rocks?

Rocks, rocks, and more rocks? Do you feel drawn to pick up rocks wherever you go? Bring your "pet" rocks to the Learning Circle and we will experiment with "The Laying on of Rocks."

A Basic introduction to Numerology

Through the study of numbers and their meanings we can gain an insight to our natural abilities, the purpose for our life, as well as affirm who we are and provide a guide to the best times to make adjustments based on the information we learn. In this workshop we will construct a Numerology Chart and be given information to help us analyze our charts.
