Ash, Birch, and Willow

with Special Guests
Raven Grimassi and Stephanie Taylor
Authors Raven Grimassi and Stephanie Taylor

*7pm $20


Interested in learning about a complete Tradition
or in becoming a member of one?

Join award winning author Raven Grimassi and author Stephanie Taylor for a four part series in the Ash, Birch& Willow tradition. In addition to this valuable information these classes will also make it possible for you to prepare for initiation into this tradition if desired.

The Ash, Birch & Willow tradition is based upon the ancient beliefs and practices of our ancestors, and is adapted to the needs of a modern generation. Therefore the tradition is ever ancient and ever new.

The format of this tradition is representative of the European paganism of ancient lands. Therefore it is not restricted to any specific cultural tradition such as Celtic, Germanic, French, Italian, or Greek. Instead the tradition reflects the core commonality of beliefs and practices reflected in all European pagan cultures.

Class IV- The Seasons – Wheel of the Year
  • Whole (Goddess) and Part (God)
  • Solstice & Equinox
  • Crossquarters

Everthing is an Orace: Divination with Everyday Objects with Bill Jarosin- 7pm $15


Many people believe that divination, prognostication, fortune telling, or consulting the oracle is somehow mysterious and arcane, limited to a few psychic souls who have the power of foresight. Not so. Everyone has an intuitive ability, but some have developed it more strongly. It is the ability to be free with one’s imagination (to take the fanciful seriously) that is the secret to “reading the leaves.” But any object can be the “leaves.” Tarot cards, runes, the pendulum, and other objects are only meant to help focus attention in order to sharpen your intuition. And intuition is directed imagination, where a on the wall, dust on the floor, and the pattern of sunlight moving through branches on a tree all “speak from beyond.” Spirit uses these ordinarily overlooked commonalities to construct a meaning from your “sixth sense” that rings true to the circumstances that concern you.

In this class we will practice some imaginative exercises to help free us from expectations of what everyday objects are “supposed” to mean. We will open to that creative energy (artists call it the muse) which leads us to make patterns in what we usually assume to have none. (The mind naturally does this; what is not so often acknowledged is that the mind does this with purpose and according to our inner needs and circumstances.)

You are invited to bring in a favorite object or two—or nothing at all. We will practice with these things, or by using what is immediately around us in the classroom. Anything—yes, anything and everything—can speak.

Meet Your Star Being with Author and Shamanic Practitioner Katie Weatherup and Special Guest Mara Clear Spring- 7pm $20


Our human family is attracting the attention and guidance from beings that are committed to assisting Earth’s Children as we transition to higher frequencies of spirituality.

Imagine an “energy angel” that protects you, empowers your abilities to shield yourself from unwanted influences and helps you amplify your own psychic and other abilities. Your Star Being assists you in understanding and working with your own energy and energetic connections, enhancing your sense of your human self as a very important individual aspect of your entire soul, always connected to the Whole, yet precious as an incarnation here on Earth.

  • Feel more centered and grounded
  • Enhance psychic abilities
  • Improve overall energetic health
  • Discover inner strengths and resources
  • Connect with your higher potential

Star Beings exist on energetic levels and can interact with people who give them permission. You may have already spontaneously become aware of a Star Being or Beings in your life. This channeling and guided Shamanic Journey will introduce you to the purpose of Star Beings. You will meet your Star Being and establish an energetic doorway within you that allows you to communicate with your Star Being more readily.

Bring a journal for recording your experience. We also recommend bringing a grounding snack such as chocolate for the end of class.

Presents

Intuiting Your Birth Chart:

An Introductory Astrology Workshop Series

7pm $15**


Newcomers to astrology often learn its fundamentals in a mathematical "this equals this" sequence starting with signs, then moving on to planets, aspects, houses and the myriad other things that can too easily convince the student that reading one's own natal horoscope (birth chart) is about as easy as tying one's shoes while bungee jumping.

In this workshop, we instead activate our own intuition to read the stories of the stars as they're elicited from the unique patterns of the natal chart. Like snowflakes, no two charts are alike, and with this foundation--and as it relates directly to your own life--we will learn the elements of astrology.

Class I - Mandala

The first step of our journey will be a "dance around the mandala," the sacred circle that represents the cosmos-your cosmos, and is the first thing any observer notices when presented with a horoscope, the round chart that speaks volumes even before examining the individual squiggles and blips that are the signs, planets, and houses.

Once we understand that the horoscope is a "great circle of soul", we can, as a temporary aid to understanding, divide the pie. We begin with the meaning of hemispheres and quadrants, then the fundamental significance of elements (earth, air, fire, water) and modalities (cardinal, fixed, and mutable).

**Prepay for the entire 3 part series for only $40!

Drums and or Rattles welcome

** Each class builds generally upon the previous one, but all can be attended separately.

Charts are provided free if the student provides birth information
--date, place, and time--before attendance.

Class II: Signs & Planets

Next we introduce ourselves to the signs as if they were creatures come alive. There's a myth behind each of the twelve signs, and myth means story, which means drama, which means, on the deep-dish apple pie level, soul work, your work, these creatures are you. So expect storytime--where you are the teller. We will employ active imagination--a "meaningful pretending" that introduces you to the idea that astrological information is guide, not judge. To the extent you can "talk to your animals," you will take control of a destiny that depends on you to invent.

The planets are funnels for the archetypal energies of the signs. We start with the most important first: our inner dynamic duo, the sun and moon. These are the central "lights" of our lives, and as you can verify for yourself, easily picked out of a background of planets that we might not know from stars or spilled salt. Then it's on to the other eight planets, introduced as they are placed in your own unique configurations; active imagination again joins us on this exploratory journey.

Class III: Aspects & Houses

Do your brothers and sisters (the planets) get along? Do they constantly trip each other up, or do they fit hand and glove into shared thoughts and activities? The difference between these moods is the aspects, which means the angle of degree around our circle. [Think of it this way: if you stand next to a friend at our mandalar campfire, you would talk to each other in such a way that even a whisper is heard. But if that friend stands across the circle, you may have to shout. These are the aspects: relationships by proximity.

At last we descend to the "hear-and-now": the houses, which represent the stages our archetypal energies are focused upon: self and others, work and play, money and health and "where in the world are my slippers?" These "stages" can also be thought of as rooms in our mandalar house, where each room is devoted to a different activity. [You probably wouldn't cook food in the bedroom (though you're strange Uncle Alex might do it, with that beloved portable grill of his). Likewise, one planetary energy would likely be preoccupied with one activity in one part of the chart but with another activity in another part.
