Movement and Magic(k)
Christopher Croucher, Stormdancer
Our bodies are an incredible spiritual and magic(k)al tool. Movement is one of the best ways to communicate with ourselves, exploring who we are and how we express that being. It is also one of the best ways to connect with Spirit and with the World.
In this workshop, we will discuss and practice some of the simplest ways to experience Magic, Nature, and Spirituality through movement and dance.
This is a safe space open to folks of any level of physical ability and any level of movement experience.

Introduction to Wicca and Modern Witchcraft
Laura Wildman-Hanlon
This is a presentation on the general history of modern Witchcraft, also know as Wicca, and its rise from an obscure practice in England to a modern world-wide religion. We’ll look at some of its prevalent beliefs and practices. If there is time, I’ll share how to create a sigil, a simple spell working!

She is one of the founders of New Moon, a organization dedicated to helping build Pagan community, education and connection.

Introduction to Herbalism
Tchipakkan
Relax, using herbs for healing is simple. Learn one or two, or plunge in. Stop a bee sting, soothe a cough, or settle your stomach. Come with questions or your favorite recipes if you’ve already begun to work with herbs.
Tchipakkan: I’m an artist, healer, soothsayer, historian, a pagan/heathen/rustic who has been openly pagan for over half a century. Let’s face it, I’m old. I know stuff, and I like to learn more, and share what I’ve seen. I’m particularly fond of passing on healing techniques, history (it helps put things in context), soothsaying techniques, and anything that empowers us. Ask me anything.
