Workshops:
The Magic of the Fire Circle
Ancient mysteries and modern magic blend together to create the community
fire circle; which is, for us, the elixir of life. Throughout time people
have gathered in circles of drum & dance around the sacred fire to
commune with spirit & nature, to heal body & soul, gather knowledge,
and restore harmony between the worlds. In this workshop, Spinner and
Magnus will teach the techniques that go into creating a vessel in which
you can transform your personal lead into gold. The workshop will focus
on practical tools for transformation, and will provide an outline for
the magic that will happen in our community. Together, we will journey
into the mysteries of drumming, dancing, and singing, as we create safe,
sacred space to become our highest visions. Please bring drums, small
percussion instruments, clothes you can move in, and a willing spirit.
Please note that this workshop is open to all, regardless of level of
experience. Drink deeply of these sacred secrets and prepare to be trance-formed.

Kirk
McLaren's foundation in the study in the mysteries began with Qabalahist
and Jazz musician Dr. Fred Katz of Southern California in 1979. He began
teaching Tarot in Spokane, Washington at Yhantra Book store in 1980 and
has been teaching seminars for Circles, Gatherings and Conventions from
Southern California to New York ever since. He completed his course work
in Visual Arts through the "McLaren Studio Academy". Kirk has
combined jewelry design and the study of the Tarot to produce a Three
Dimensional Tarot System, the only oracle of its kind. This approach is
based on the images of the Major Arcana in small sculpture that may be
tossed like small stones, then read as they fall.
Workshops:
Making Magical Amulets
An Amulet is a piece of jewelry that holds a special meaning to the
one who wears it. Here is a chance to create an amulet with your intent
into every element. This workshop provides all that is needed to produce
a carving for a lost wax casting: wax tools, a small alcohol lamp and
carving wax. If you don't have an idea as to what to make, Kirk will be
happy to offer suggestions and assistance in creating your piece. Within
six to eight weeks of the workshop the participant will receive a piece
of jewelry that they made themselves.
The fee to have the amulet cast and mailed to the student is $35 for
silver and $25 for bronze. If the student wishes to make several castings
of a piece (e.g. for a coven or group), the price would depend on the
weight of the piece. A master mold of your piece can be made for an additional
$25 charge.
The Tarot: an Intensive Seminar
This is a two part workshop that is a little over two hours for each
part. The workshop includes hand out notes for each participant to keep
at the end of the class.
Part One covers the Minor Arcana and how it is based on the Qubalistic
"Tree of Life". Each card is discussed to help understand the
foundation on which the Major Arcana is built.
Part Two covers the Major Arcana: the basic concepts, interpretations
for reading, and how they relate to the development of a Magical way of
Life. Time permitting, an introduction to the Tarot Casters will be provided.
Introduction to the Tarot Casters
This is an introduction to the Tarot Casters; a system biased on the
images of the Major Arcana in small sculpture that may be tossed like
small stones, then read as they fall. This new approach to the Tarot frees
the reader from the old layouts and enables the intuitive muscles to work
in new ways. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, you
may find this a great Joy.

include a brain bending discussion of the intersection of contemporary
philosophy and magic(k)al traditions - where do they converge / diverge.

Running with the Moon - Part I: The Shamanic Werewolf
Have you ever longed to reclaim your lost wildness and run free under
the light of the moon? For centuries the legend of the "lycanthrope"
(wolf-man) has been relegated to myths of hairy monsters roaming the forests
or low-budget horror films. The truth behind the werewolf myth runs much
deeper, however. Like his cousin the legendary witch, the werewolf or
"shape-shifter" has its roots in the sacred mystical practices
of our earliest ancestors. Join folklorist, storyteller and spiritual
shape-shifter Christopher Rondina for an exploration of the role of mystical
animal-warriors in Pagan history.
Running with the Moon - Part II: The Art of Spiritual Lycanthropy
Come howl with us! Cast aside your fears of wildness & travel
into the deep primeval landscape of your own consciousness to encounter
the beast within! In this session we will challenge modern views of feral
or animalistic behavior, explore methods of practical shape-shifting and
examine traditional shifting catalysts including moonlight, trances, ointments
and talismans. Spiritual Lycanthropy invites us to reclaim our sacred
connection to the earth by stepping out of our human skins and embracing
the wild within! Attendance at Running with the Moon Part I suggested

well of power we can tap into, and always we are a valuable part of the
sacred web. Touch your power and feel your interconnectedness with the

Building School, specializing in cordwood masonry instruction since
1980. He is the author of ten books, including Complete Book of Cordwood
Masonry Housebuilding: The Earthwood Method and Stone Circles: A Modern
Builder s Guide to the Megalithic Revival. Rob and his wife Jaki have
built four innovative cordwood homes since 1975, including Earthwood:
a 2400 SF two-story round load-bearing cordwood home, earth-sheltered
and earth-roofed, where they have lived for 20 years. They first visited
Stonehenge in the 60s, built their first circle in 1977, and completed
a major stone circle at Earthwood in 1987. The couple helped build the
Stone Mountain Circle at the Center for Symbolic Studies near New Paltz
in 1997, and raised two large stones at the 18-acre Columcille Megalithic
Park near Bangor, PA; the first of the large megaliths at that site to
be raised by hand. The Roys conducted a 4-day megalithic workshop in August
of 2000, and another 5-day event at Earthwood in July of 2002, during
which the major scheduled project was the erection of a 20-ton stone by
hand, and Rob helped install the first two stones at the Dragonstones
Circle in Surrey, U.K. They have taught cordwood masonry across North
America, Chile, and New Zealand, and have helped dozens of owner-builders
with their cordwood projects, including homes, saunas and outbuildings.
Workshops:
Cordwood Masonry Workshop
Cordwood Masonry is an easy, esthetic, low-cost, energy-efficient,
and environmentally sound method of building walls for homes, saunas,
or other buildings. During this workshop, students will learn basic cordwood
theory, including estimating materials, what kinds of wood are best, and
how long to dry them. Rob and Jaki will demonstrate the wall-building
technique by laying up a dozen or so log-ends in a sample panel. Students
will learn how to lay up the wood, insulate the walls, and point the mortar
surface for strength and beauty.
Stone Circles: A Megalithic Workshop
The building of stone circles has been enjoying a revival during the past
20 years. More and more people are creating stone circles as meeting places
and for ceremony, particularly in connection with earth-based spiritual
tradition. In an illustrated lecture, instructor Rob Roy will discuss
both ancient and modern circles, including siting, measure, geometry,
astronomical alignments, and Earth energies. Slides, a short video, and
models help illustrate this workshop, which focuses on how to raise large
stones using only equipment which would have been available to the great
stone circle builders five thousand years ago.
