Cultural Appreciation Versus Cultural Appropriation: Where and How Do We Draw the Line (PLI) - Chip Brown

As Leaders, Elders, Ministers, Priestesses, and Priests, we are educators, counselors, healers, and role models for members of our Communities, Tribes, Villages, Clans, and Families. We create and participate in ceremonies, rituals, celebrations, discussions and prayers with our fellows. We each have our own ancestors, ethnicities, religions, belief systems and cultures. We each have our own perspectives and knowledge bases. Yet, we are all Human Beings; and as Human Beings, we recognize similarities and distinctions within and between each other. Some of these similarities and distinctions, or Traits, pertain to us as individuals while others pertain at a larger level: the Community, Tribe, Village, Clan and Family. Many of these traits are emblems of our personal interests, our creative self-expression, yet others are emblems of those broader groups from which we descend and with whom we may live and worship. So, how can we understand and appreciate these traits without misunderstanding and appropriating them? Please attend this workshop/lecture for a discussion of this topic. May we all come away with a deeper appreciation of who we are and a greater understanding of who we are not.

This is a supportive, judgment-free zone. Everyone is also encouraged to drum with me by the evening fire. Be patient with yourselves, and don't be shy. We all start at the beginning, which is a great place to be! Monday: Discuss the history and culture of hand drums. Introduce technique (how to play the correct notes with the proper hand posture). How to play seated and standing (discuss differences in shoulder straps for hand drums). We are building community within drumming. We will go over rudiments and warm-ups to practice and hone the technique—introduction to Malinke drum song: Macrou, a fast-paced courtship dance. Tuesday: Discuss the roles of bass drums, bells, and rattles in ensembles and drum circles—review technique. Warm-up. Review djembe parts to Macrou and add dunun elements. Wednesday: Discuss approaches to drumming in free-form drum circles and within groups with all skill levels. Learn about the fine art of listening while not listening when drumming with a group, who to anchor on in a drum circle, and discuss ways to tune into others to find patterns that will fit within the groove—keeping it simple, what to do when the lead drummer plays a solo—review technique. Warm-up. Engage in a drum circle environment and practice what we have learned. Discuss afterward. Thursday: Discuss approaches for drumming in ritual space and ecstatic dance. How to follow the energy and facilitate movement of energy in ritual space. How to create drum music with intention.

Introduce 6/8 time signature with Landuma drum song: Tiriba, a popular music that started as a mask dance. Friday: Discuss approaches for drumming with chants. Begin by clapping the timing of the chant. Identify the accents within the rhythm of the chant and how to work with those when deciding what to play on the drum. Discuss counter rhythms and when they can work for or against a chant. Discuss keeping it simple rather than creating something too elaborate that might overpower the chant rather than enhance it. Review technique. Warm-up. If we have chanters to chant with us, we will explore drumming with them. If not, we will work on previously presented material. Saturday: Discuss creating our own drum songs with intention and incorporating drums and percussion instruments with different sounds. This can be the start of ongoing Western Pagan traditions modeled after the drumming cultures that have been using hand drums for centuries and who have graciously begun reaching out to share knowledge with us. Review technique. Warm-up. Try some creation, starting with simple patterns.

Divination and Spiritual Alchemy: Our Journey from Charioteer to Magickal Alchemist - PLI (PLI) - Rhonda Alin

Tarot is an incredibly powerful tool for self-discovery and, when pursued, can also lead us to personal metamorphosis. The journey of mining self for our gold can be arduous, and knowing where to begin can be challenging. First, we need to know where we are along the journey, and then, we need to map the course to meet our goals. In this workshop, we will look at the journey from Charioteer to Magickal Alchemist…from taking up the reins and accepting the responsibility of steering the course in our own story (The Chariot) to becoming adept at utilizing the tools available to us to take ourselves through our own metamorphosis (Temperance). Through exercises in the workshop, we will discover our own landscape (the “where are we?” question) and will map our journey (the “how do we reach our goal?” question), and will walk away with a tool that tracks our work. This tool can now be added to your “tarot tool kit” and can be used repeatedly with each new area of self-growth.

Exploring Identity Discovery, Creation and Development - PLI (PLI) - Jimmy Butterfly

Identity is the distinguishing personality or character of an individual or group. People belong to multiple groups, each with its own identity. Identity emerges through the intersection of the groups an individual is a member of (e.g., family, friends, religious community, ethnic community, etc.) and possibly that individual's genetics. Arguably the most important task of adolescence (and young adulthood) is identity development. Identity has a strong influence on mental health and self-esteem. It also provides individuals with purpose, direction, and meaning in life. We will begin by discussing identity, the benefits of having a strong identity, and how we can create one. We'll then discuss group norms and how those norms can have empowering and disempowering effects on us. With this as a foundation, we'll explore defining our identities and the ways they provide purpose, direction, and meaning. We'll conclude by considering how we can help others work with identity. Depending on the interest and time available, we'll cover topics like fitting in, coming out, social support, personality and character development, and goal creation. This workshop primarily addresses Circle Ministry Competencies 4, 6, and 10.

The First Steps in Coming to Terms with Christianity - Br. Patrick Finney

Christianity is ubiquitous in our culture. Even if one has left the Church, there is no way to totally escape it. Therefore, it can be valuable to consciously reflect on our relationship with this part of the American overculture.

Green Dragon Stage with Beltana Spellsinger - Beltana Spellsinger

Beltana Spellsinger came into awareness of her magickal ""self"" during an poignant experience at one of her first major Earth-Centered Spirituality festivals in Wisconsin, in 1996. After leaping over a bonfire and injuring her foot, she connected with a brilliant young Shaman named Skye who helped her in the healing process of body and soul. It was a journey she will never forget. Full of mystery and Otherworldly guides, who surrounded her in that place and that time to help save and re-direct her... it set her upon a new path. In that moment, she discovered that her magickal and musical name was ""Beltana,"" representing her day of birth on Beltane, the Celtic day of celebration of spring and renewal. Honoring her Scottish family heritage, she accepted the name as her own. Three years later, while recording her first musical album with a trio of bards called SONA, in Texas, her producer gifted her with her last name, ""Spellsinger."" Bel (nickname) uses this name in Her circles, when performing music, or doing Her work for the Earth. She worked with SONA for a decade, traveling all over the country sharing original songs that she had written with her talented band mates, ""Papa Joe"" and ""Little Joe"" Credit. Her next experience with music in this realm was with an all-female group called BellaWyck, sharing the stage with her sister, Kittin, and her soul-sisters Jennie Starr and Boom Boom Valhalla, who only stayed together for a short, but significant time. Spellsinger is now the sole name of her artistic persona. She still writes, and travels to this day, among the artists by whom she is ever inspired. She performs solo at times, or with a makeshift group of fellow bohemian bards, depending on time, space and circumstance, whenever possible. She feels that she is more of a singer/songwriter than a full-time musician, who has been influenced by the spirits that surround and guide her. Along with the Otherworldly creatures that interact with her, and the passions and people that she has known in her life, she creates music as she goes, and only when inspired. To her, music is a ""way of life,"" a necessity for her soul, and a gift from her muse, rather than a ""job"" or a profession. To Beltana, music is a therapeutic and much-needed balm to her spirit. Bel moved to her forever home, Wolvenwold, in the southern Missouri Ozarks in 1998. This is the sacred land that she calls her place of tranquility, where she resides with her daughter, Bela Czaba, and her sister, Kittin. She writes when the Muse speaks to her, and shares her voice when asked. She feels that her Path in life is to help others. Bel also has a podcast coming soon, focusing on sharing music, stories from her beloved musical community, and her activism and advocacy for LGBTQ, Reproductive, and Humanitarian Rights. She deems this new journey the ""Blue Spark,"" and her journey along the Dirt Road Bardic Path... is to be announced further as the project manifests via her official website throughout 2023.

Green Dragon Stage with Maevyn Stone - Maevyn Stone

Take a step out of reality and into the mystical, magickal world of Maevyn Stone: harpist, vocalist, and bardess. Maevyn weaves her ethereal melodies into a beautiful tapestry of tales of old, celebration of new, and the never-ending circle of the wheel of life. While her musical style leans toward Celtic, influences from other cultures and backgrounds creep into her melodies from time to time. Maevyn is classically trained in both harp and voice, but she uses those abilities to reach back into her roots to create beauty with deep history, heritage, and myth. https://linktr.ee/maevynstone

Believing that we are all Energy, and everything is a part of everything else, she brings this sensibility to her music and stories, sharing her perspectives and beliefs with the world. Music and dance have always been a part of Meren's life, although it is just within the last 15 years that she has really pursued music as her Lifepath.

Main Stage with Krista Green Chapman and Louis Garou - Krista Green Chapman and Louis Garou

I spend my days in the foothills of Arkansas, weaving and writing music that reflects my home, my thoughts, and my life. Surrounded by the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen, it's easy to find inspiration in all the things I see. I've spent the last 30 years shaping my path, an eclectic blend of animism, polytheism, and nature led beliefs. I believe we all have something to give the world, something to share and something to offer. I found my gift and my voice through music. I was blessed to grow up surrounded by music. My Grandfather was an amazing musician and tried very hard to pass that love on to all of us. Most everyone in my family was able to play instruments. I seemed unable to get the hang of them, and so voice was what I had left. So, I stood beside my mother’s piano and learned to express myself that way. I found out very quickly, it was the art form I most loved. I found myself there, in the words and worlds that lyrics created. I began writing little songs by the time I was 12 and it has stayed with me my entire life. The vast majority of my music is Goddess led. Reflecting the beauty and strength I see so sacred in feminine power. Stories of love ,self reliance, belief in the strength we can find both within ourselves and belief in things beyond ourselves. Belief in the dirt we can place our hands in, belief in the things we can create, belief in things both seen and unseen. The world is full of wonder, and I refuse to look at it any other way. Often times the world can be a scary place, full of doubts, hate, nonbelief and judgment. But beauty still sits there waiting to be found. Love, grace, patience, and joy are still the greatest gifts to both give away and to hold on to. Stories from a wandering heart, Krista Chapman Green Raised in the dark hollows of Appalachia and now residing in Arkansas, Louis Garou has been traveling and writing most of his adult life. His music, he calls ""Dark Americana"" is popular among members of the Pagan community. He writes about Goddesses and Demons, about Wolves, about lonely, sometimes desperate people. And others who are not quite... People. Almost whispering, he calls all his music love songs... Dark and twisted, but love songs just the same. Come and join Louis playing his old guitar, singing Heartbreak, Darkness, and the Other Side...

(Sooj to fans and friends) has a song for you. In performance with deft guitar, skillful hand drums, and versatile vocals, she runs a shape-shifter's gamut from silly to sacred and back again, embodying the truth in our songs and stories, the spirit of community and wit. These new Roaring Twenties have brought challenges to us all, but Sooj has kept the lights on and the music going thanks to her incredible, loyal fans worldwide and their willingness to attend and get the word out about her online shows. On her plate for the near future are a long-awaited follow-up to her spiritually focused Blessings album, a return to full-time touring when it is safe to do so, continued online concerts with varying themes and on-location filming, and a record of songs all inspired by the local Southern lore and folkways Sooj has encountered on her adventures closer to home.

Mental health plays an important role in all of our lives. As Pagans, we often seek deeper spiritual truths, including in regard to our mental health.

Religion as Art: Truth and Meaning in the Practice of Religion (PLI) - Br. Patrick Finney

This is reflected in the interminable debates over the existence of God, the nature of the metaphysical universe and whose religion is right and true. But there is another way, one which opens up many more options and freedom in one's religious life. This is a way that privileges meaning and practice over truth and professions of faith. About a 60-minute lecture, followed by open discussion.

Supporting Change In Ourselves and Others - PLI (PLI) - Rev. Jake

We all think we know what would be best for other people. And plenty of people have ideas about things we should change in our lives. But change for humans is often way harder than just deciding or having someone tell us something would be good for us! Change often goes in cycles, and our intrinsic motivation waxes and wanes. So how do we effectively support others to make changes they want or need in their lives, and harness motivation without engaging shame and resistance? This workshop explores the evidence-based clinical practice of Motivational Interviewing, and addresses Circle Ministry Competencies 6, 12 and 13.

Women's Ritual - Jasmine

Welcome to all women and people who identify as women and those exploring their femininity.

In this ritual, we celebrate the cycles of life and death…. the phases of maiden, mother, crone….and every nuance and expression in between, inside, and outside these roles. You walk in the company of those who have gone before, those who will come after, and those who hold space at the moment. Together we slip into darkness, to endings, and into light, to beginnings, always held in a circle of women. We let go, we hold on, we mourn, and we celebrate tonight.
