8:30pm EST

Psychotherapy and the Gods

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

How do the gods, ancestors, and other-than-human guides show up in the psychotherapy process? How can I bring my gods and guides into my own personal psychotherapy process (even if my therapist is not pagan)? This workshop will address these questions, and more, at the crossroads where archetypal psychology, animism, and paganism meet, in a place where deep soul-revelation, soul-healing, and soul-magic occurs. Though there will be a particular emphasis on the Trickster (in all forms), Psyche, Hecate, Odin, and the Fates, you are encouraged to bring your own Beloved(s) into our contemplation and discussion.

The Not So Great Work

Thursday February 20, 2025 10:30pm - Friday February 21, 2025 12:00am EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

Although most of us would would love to participate in the grand inner Alchemy that is transforming the lead of our lesser selves into the gold of our highest self, many of us do not have the time or spoons to enact complex rituals along a rigid schedule. Whether you experience cognitive differences or simply the multifaceted demands of a busy modern life, you might find your personal process The Not So Great Work. Not to worry, nature makes beauty in all colors, shapes and sizes. We will discuss ways to make your craft meet you where you are and support your ever unfolding process of growth, without the demands of Greatness. We will simplify the art of creating effective rituals you'll actually perform, not just pin for later.

Pagan Community, Pagan Culture

Friday February 21, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EST

In this workshop we’ll explore what culture and community really are, what Pagan culture and Pagan community look like, and ways we might change both culture and community to be better for us all.

Psychological Magic: Psychotherapy as Healing-Magic

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

Elizabeth Ann 2

In this talk we will explore the practice and process of psychotherapy—or perhaps more aptly named, psychetherapy (i.e., soul-therapy)—through an historical, magical, archetypal, and mystical lens. What are the elements of psychetherapy that make it such a powerful type of healing-magic and soul-magic--for the client? How can psychetherapy be engaged in ways that bring holistic healing to all domains? Does your therapist need to be a Pagan or Heathen for therapy to be magic? Join me—a licensed psychetherapist and Pagan—to explore these questions, and more.

Calling in Archetypes: Manifestation with Tarot

Friday February 21, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST

The 78 faces of the pictorial Tarot can be used for far more than divining answers to questions of past, present, and future.

We will cover themes often employed in spellwork and which cards might make for good friends to call upon for anything you intend to manifest into your physical reality. Whether you are creating more confidence, love, joy, or attempting to remove financial blocks, discover how you can call upon Tarot as a powerful energy to support your practice.

What the Smudge

Saturday February 22, 2025 9:30am - 11:00am EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

“Smudge” in modern terms is often used to refer to the use of herbs (most often white sage) to cleanse an area or an object of negative energies and/or entities. There’s some issues though - questions of endangered plants, cultural appropriation, and questions of efficacy. In this workshop we’ll spend a short big of time touching on cultural appropriation and endangered plants, and spend most of the time talking about what other herbs you might use for various situations, where to find them, and why it’s not a one-size-fits-all sort of process.

The Well, the Tree, and the Three

Saturday February 22, 2025 11:30am - 1:00pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

At the heart of Germanic/Norse/Anglo-Saxon cosmology exists a sacred tableau comprised of the Well of Wyrd, Yggdrasil, and the Nornir. Simultaneously near as near can be and far as far can be, each facet of this sacred trinity contains its own deep mysteries, wild medicine and guidance. In this contemplative, collaborative, and experiential workshop, we will explore the mystery teachings and healing-magic contained within the Well, the Tree, and the Three. What can we learn from them? What can we learn from their relationship to each other? And what practical guidance do they have to offer us about how to live our lives?

Cemetery Witchcraft

Saturday February 22, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

the Cemetary is a place between the worlds. This is a place where the dead roam and the energies are powerful. The spirits of the dead can help us with powerful magick, but sometimes the dead can be tricky. The spirits can confuse us and even drain us of our life force. Learn how to navigate the cemetery in order to connect with the dead in a way that is both powerful and healing for both us and the spirits. Cemetery witchcraft takes us to a mysterious realm so that we may make allies with the dead for magick, healing, and transformation.

Finding Your Magical Personality: for Younger People

Saturday February 22, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

So many people live in this big lava rock, covered in water and green. And every one of them has the power of choice in how they react and interact with the world, mundane and magical. But each of us has leanings toward things we like more than others. Maybe you vibe with fire. You may love water and air. It really depends on your own spirit and the traditions you embrace. Let's cover some simple things you can observe in yourself to help you find where you may choose to develop your skills.

The contagious magic of self love and daily affirmation

Sunday February 23, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

If you are anything like me, you entered this path carrying guilt, shame and trauma from your past. This workshop will explore how we overcome our past trauma and move forward as magical beings. Our heart chakra can become blocked by feelings of unworthiness and self deprecation, but in this class we will raise the energy needed to open our heart to self love. Then we will learn how to pass it on so others can choose self love as well. In the words of the priestess Ru Paul, if you can't love yourself how in the hell are you going to love somebody else.

The Vital Role of Tricksters in Cosmic Evolution

Sunday February 23, 2025 1:00pm - 2:30pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 2

Trickster deities are often misunderstood and maligned in Western culture. The title we have given them, "trickster," implies deceit and untrustworthiness. But in the scholarly study of mythology, tricksters often use deception and cunning to support the weak in their battles against the strong. Tricksters also use these methods to teach lessons that we would not learn except through personal experience, and to hold space to consider the profane sacred. Come and discuss your personal experiences with tricksters, and learn more about why they are essential to cosmic and cultural evolution and justice.
