Workshops
Animal Guides -- with Tsesi Tsones
On
the different types of animal guides, the rite of passage of coming
into one's medicine, and finding it at the inner crossroads.
Samhain Traditions -- with Laurelei Black
Explore
a variety of ancestor-honoring practices from the Northern European
(and eclectic American) practice. We'll definitely discuss things like
masking and costuming, litanies, seances/divination, dumb suppers,
carved gourds, etc.
Psychic Drawings -- with Natalie LongBreak
out the colored pencils! It's time to have a little colorful fun with
your intuition! After learning the basic principles behind psychic
drawings, we will pair off to attempt to psychically 'send' images to
each other. Afterwars, we will learn about auras and the be paired off
again to create an 'aura portrait' of our partner. Don't worry about
art skills. Basic coloring sheets will be provided. All you need to do
is trust your intuition and see what is going on with your partner
inside.
Simultaneous Fires
Main Bonfire: Nightly fire with Drumming and Dancing.
Bardic Circle Fire: Share spooky stories and sing some songs while enjoying a complementary hot beverage.
Ancestor Grove Fire: this is a quiet fire for the remembrance of our ancestors, meditation, and healing of body and spirit.
