Embracing the Moon: A Pathway to the Divine

Thursday February 20, 2025 8:30pm - 10:00pm EST

As the Moon traverses the starry skies, she travels through her phases and frequencies, mirroring the ever-changing rhythms of our world. When we attune our consciousness to these cosmic energies, we gracefully deepen our connection to All That is Holy, aligning ourselves with the Divine, both within and without. In a sacred ceremony facilitated by Lunar High Priestess Lady Jesamyn and Cista Mystica Priestesses, we shall honor the Moon Mother in Her guise as the Goddess Selene. Reflecting upon our own inner Truth, we will connect with Her sacred waters and pour out libations in Her name. Under Her loving gaze and with focused Vision, we will energize our goals and our intentions for growth. With thankfulness, we will express our gratitude for the Moon’s never-ending witness of our lives.

Runes have a long history in Nordic culture, becoming more popular with recent popular tv shows and festivals. In the folktales of Norway, the huldre dance the Runes. The dance of the Runes can embody the message or relationship you have with the Rune. In this workshop, we will take 3 Runes and discover a way to incorporate them into a runic dance.

This workshop will use belly dance concepts from various styles to shape the Runes with your body. I will share my interpretation of each Rune presented based on study and practice. I will also show how to use these dance concepts in a solo and group improv performance.

Runes presented will be: Fehu, Algiz, and Othel.

What happens when Kate Mura of GroupTarot gives a Tarot reading to an entire audience? Find out!

Last year overlaying Yesod with the group reading was so potent, I want to offer it again this year! Every experience is different, as every Tarot reading and individual is different. And yet! Common themes, and a shared path unite us. Stories, anecdotes, conversation, philosophy, questions, history and herstory come out specifically for your audience, your day, your season. You are involved. By picking cards, conversing, asking questions, and actively, compassionately listening. I am so excited for this year's Tarot Show overlay with Malkuth, as one of tarot's superpowers is showing us our next tangible steps, which we'll find together.

Using 4 Realms of Magick

Friday February 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST

Dragon Tradition differentiates 4 realms of magick. Natural Magick: Using the magick in the world around us. Psychic Magick: Using magick related to consciousness and astral dynamics. Spirit Magick: Working with the other side. Authority Magick: Directly Influencing Reality. Intentionally practicing each can bring greater power, understanding and purpose. During this workshop we will perform multiple different spells to explore these realms while presenting highlights and goalposts to take meaningful steps in our personal Magickal practices.

Kabbalat Shabbat - Welcoming the Shekhina

Friday February 21, 2025 5:45pm - 8:30pm EST

Shabbat (sabbath) is the Jewish celebration of Rest. When Friday’s sun sets, we enter into the day of Shabbatai (ie, Saturn’s day), and celebrate that we are not slaves, but free people. No master, no boss, no mundane compulsion can make us work today. “The Sabbaths are our great cathedrals; and our Holy of Holies is a shrine that neither the Romans nor the Germans were able to burn.. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation, from the world of creation to the creation of the world.” I will explain & translate the ritual; then anyone who wants to participate can.

Womb Shamanism: An Inward Path to the Divine

Friday February 21, 2025 9:00pm - 10:30pm EST

Womb Shamanism in the Rose Lineage tradition is a deeply feminine, deeply embodied path to the Divine. All are invited to explore the power and potency within their own sacred wombs in this experiential playshop. (You are truly welcome here - beings of all genders have an energetic womb space.) We’ll chat about the sacred, sordid history (and disparagement) of womb work, play with some practices to enhance our personal power and connection to the divine, and explore what womb sovereignty looks like in the modern age. Mature audience only, as topics may include sacred union, sacred sexuality, and the sacred whore.
