Organizational Dynamics

Why Pagan Organizations Fail - this workshop discusses why many groups fail, how to see the signs of impending failure, and how to structure groups to avoid common pitfalls. The failures discussed are based on personal experience with groups that have come apart at the seams.

Secular Pagan Organizations - The benefits of Pagan groups that aren’t focused on religion. Includes discussion on charity work, why inter-faith groups fail where a strictly secular group may succeed, and more.

Modern American Polytheism

Modern American Polytheism - a basic introduction to the concept of Modern American Polytheism and how it differs from other Paths. Topics include a discussion on source materials, ethics, magick, and the Gods.

Dianic Philosophy

Womens’ Circles - working from my experience as a Dianic priestess, we discusses why women need women-only groups, and what Dianic practice and philosophy bring to modern life.

Infertility/Adoption

Among the Fertility Cults - An open sharing on infertility and miscarriage among Pagans. Infertility affects one in six couples in the US. Infertility and miscarriage are tough experiences for anyone, but for Pagans, whose religious outlook often includes a focus on natural cycles and Goddess as Mother, the experiences take on a new meaning, often at odds with our spiritual direction. Using a talking circle format, participants are welcome to share their experiences in a sacred space, as a way to promote healing and to remember that we are not alone.

Runes

Custom Runes - as an accomplished runestone maker, I will bring dozens of types of tumbled stones and other materials. Participants can select their own stones, which I will then take back to my studio and make into a set of runes to be shipped back to the customer, or customers can select from the already-complete sets I bring with me.

Arts and Crafts

Dream Catchers - Make your own dreamcatcher. I will provide a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional materials, along with plenty of individual instruction. A small materials fee will apply.

Pentacle Earrings - Long before I was Pagan, when I was about 12, my mother brought me a photograph of “star” earrings from a newspaper; a shop was looking for people to make them. While I didn’t know how to make them, between my beadwork experience and my mathematical skills, I worked out a way to make them myself. You too can learn to make these cute 1″ pentacles from seed beads. Small materials fee applies.

Instant Spell Paper - who needs parchment for spells? Learn to make your own paper for spells, one ritual at a time, using colors, herbs, and oils specifically for the ritual you’re doing. No special equipment needed; weave your spell work right into the paper it’s written on! A small materials fee will apply, and you’re welcome to bring your own materials too.

Ritual

Computer Gods Ritual - an offeratory ritual to the Gods of computers, largely based on my own UPG. Personal experience suggests that this ritual improves reliability of computers, printers, and networks for the participants.

Miscellaneous

Manifesting Prosperity - Insights on the meaning of prosperity, and magickal and mundane things you can do to bring prosperity into your life.
