Welcome and Merry Meet!

Awakening Our Dreams... What dreams have we not listened to? What dreams do we cherish, but never reach for? What dreams have we simply forgotten? And what dreams do we not even know we have? If we can find our dreams, listen, and believe, then we've taken the first step in creating something new.

Igniting Our Reality... What do we do with a dream? We work to make it happen! Carolina Spirit Quest is in the process of making one of its dreams become reality: land, a place of gathering and celebration. This April at Spring Quest 2005 we hope that we can support the CSQ land dream and help each one of us to awaken our own dreams and shape our reality. We invite you to come and share in the magic!

Returning Questers and newcomers alike will find many things to enjoy this year. Our ritual team will lead us into our dreams and help us carry them back into the real world. Very talented and dedicated presenters will offer diverse Learning Circles, including Massage, Drumming, Rattle-Making, Astrology, Dreamwork, and Trance Techniques. We are also pleased to announce a very special discussion forum just for teens. For our families, we once again have our Children's Program with both Learning Circles for the kids and play time.

Other programs will include our annual Magickal Auction, a long-time tradition at Spring Quest and a great chance to buy one-of-a kind items. The popular gaming table will be returning this year, as will the Porch Contest - make sure to bring lots of decorations!! We will also have Community Altar space, and we invite you to bring a sacred item to place on the Altar. Lastly, as always, we will have a Gift Exchange table - remember to bring a gift so you can receive a gift from someone else!

There will be drumming, singing, dancing, great food, and most importantly, community. The best thing about Spring Quest for us is the sense of togetherness: Pagans of every persuasion sharing space and working together to create a village over this one magical weekend. We hope to see you there!

Brightest Blessings ~
