Greek Catharsis in Magic

Presented by Christine Wilson.

Theatre has long been associated with pagan religious festivals.

Focusing on the Theatre Dionysia Festival and its purpose in Greek society and religious practice, we will actively explore the ancient Greek practice of magical ritual theatre, and briefly discuss its connection and relevance to modern pagan practices and rituals.

The bulk of this workshop will be "hands on." Using modern (and ancient) acting methods, you will learn and practice a banishing / releasing technique that will bring new power and focus to your releasing rituals and spells. Learn how to pinpoint and focus your intentions by marrying the most powerful words (verbs) with sustainable physical actions. Learn how to channel your deepest emotions and intentions into those actions, creating a more powerful and cathartic release.
