SUMMER SOLSTICE NECTAR POWER SPELL : Angela Mary Magick

Fire up your HOT WITCH SUMMER! Join Angela Mary Magick in this deliciously fast paced ritual workshop to quicken your Magick by blessing the nectars of your body. Bring a natural vessel of local honey (or a plant based nectar like agave nectar or monk fruit syrup) sunflower petals, a wooden spoon,  Book of Shadows and/or Sex Magick Journal. Our Coven will create our individual Spell intentions and share with each other at the end of the workshop. The moon is in Scorpio setting the stage for a divinely sensuous ritual.

QUEER MAGICAL EROTICISM : Ylva Mara Radziszewski

Magic is inherently sensual. The power of the Witch is sourced from the undulation of the elements, pulsing through our lives. Harnessing this energy is a foundational technique, useful in fueling and empowering any ritual and spell… particularly those centering healing, manifestation, growth, protection, boundaries, and empowerment. Accessing the pulse of the elements within the body allows the Witch to draw and focus Universal energy into their altars with more potency. Join us for a non-sexual, non-play centered exploration of foundational principles of Queer Eroticism as a conduit for raising, focusing, and casting magical energy.

THE ESSENTIAL HEALING OF SOFTNESS + REST : Ericka Gail

Living in an individualistic, capitalist, colonized culture means many of us are often always on the "go," whether in our work, communities, or our personal lives. We're asked to participate in "grind culture," bodies are likened to machines, hobbies are turned into hustles, and rest is seen as 'laziness.' What if I told you rest is not laziness, but sacred? That rest has to be made a priority, done intentionally, and that to get there means showing ourselves more grace, compassion, and softness to ourselves and each other? In this workshop, learn tips on how to make more space for rest, how to practice it with intentionality and as an internal decolonization process.

THE ART OF LENORMAND + CRAFTING A DECK FOR PLEASURE : Sara M Lyons

Explore the easy, intuitive art of Lenormand, and fold it into your creative practice by learning how to craft your own 36-card deck! Artist and illustrator Sara M. Lyons, the creator of Cute Little Lenormand, will walk you through the basics of this charmingly simple but surprisingly potent form of cartomancy that dates back to the 18th century. In this talk, you'll learn to interpret Lenormand's classic archetypes in three-card vignettes - then you'll discover how to create your own personal, unique Lenormand deck. If you have a Lenormand deck already, you'll want to have it handy - but if you don't, no need to worry! With any deck of traditional playing cards and your own special artistic magic, by the end of this short workshop, you'll have all the tools you need to both craft and work with a deck that truly resonates for you.

THE HEALING POWER OF PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS : Fruiting Bodies

This talk is an introduction to the therapeutic use of psilocybin mushrooms and Oregon's newly approved legal framework. We will cover: How psychedelic mushrooms work in the brain, research on the therapeutic potential for a broad range of mental health conditions, how Oregon is leading the way with its hybrid therapeutic model, and equity and access concerns we seek to address.
