It’s like build-a-bear
Everyone follows their own path. You might choose to follow an established tradition, or you might choose to create something that is uniquely yours.
We are all beginners, and we know it’s not easy to just stroll in. Don’t worry - we are a remarkably welcoming group. Come say hi!
Fall of 2021
Welcome to the fall semester of 2021. We started the semester strong, we have a ton of new members, and we’re gonna keep that energy going! We have two types of meetings:
Meetings are at 2PM on Sundays. There will be a topic and/or activity. The first meeting of each month is in-person, all others are virtual.
Rituals are held according to the wheel of the year, and also some full (or new!) moons.
