Spring 2006Awakening Our Dreams — Igniting Our RealityEach Spring for the last ten years a group of Pagans in the Carolinas and Virginia have held a festival called Carolina Spirit Quest. This year's Quest, CSQ 2006, is scheduled for April 21-23, 2006 at William B. Umstead State Park, Raleigh, NC. For more information and pictures of Camp Lapihio at Umstead State Park, follow the link on the left. Carolina Spirit Quest is an Earth Centered Spirituality weekend festival. There will be workshops, rituals, sales booths, meals together and community building activities. They are all designed to get us better acquainted and promote networking within the diverse community of Earth Centered and Pagan folks that inhabit this area. The 2006 theme is "Awakening Our Dreams — Igniting Our Reality" At Spring Quest 2005, the Quest Board celebrated Quest's 10th anniversary by beautifully articulating a dream to someday grow CSQ into a sustainable, landed community with buildings and facilities, children's camps and weekend retreats, gardens and altars. (See: http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/summer_2005.pdf - pg. 2). In talking about their dreams for Quest Spring 2006, the event co-directors, Lance & Cynthia, developed the theme "Awakening Our Dreams, Igniting Our Reality", as they returned again and again to the dreams so powerfully expressed by the Board. "We all have dreams for ourselves, our families, our covens and groups, and our communities. Our life's work is in awakening ourselves to those dreams and bringing them forth. The tiniest spark of an idea can ignite someone's imagination and a decade later we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Carolina Spirit Quest." - Lance Create your dream.
