We also host Spring Mysteries Festival, a continuation of the ancient Greek rites of Eleusis from 3000 years ago. The Aquarian Tabernacle Church is world-renowned for this work and is considered the only formal religious organization to take up the work from the ancient masters.

Eleusyve Productions
Eleusyve Productions is a fringe theater group based in Seattle, Washington. Our goal at Eleusyve Productions is to present Aleister Crowley's Rites of Eleusis (a series of seven planetary ritual plays) as musical theater pieces in a manner that will render them more fully accessible to a broad audience, using music, light, dance, and drama to enhance the poetry and symmetry of the original works. We also strive to make completed productions available in as many formats and to as many markets as possible, to more widely circulate our artistic interpretations of this material. Please visit us at www.ritesofeleusis.com
Growing Up Pagan
Growing Up Pagan is a fifteen-minute class at the end of each OLOTEAS kids' class that is created and taught by a group of young adults in the community who were raised Pagan themselves.

Reform Paganism
Reform Pagans are earnest seekers on purposeful spiritual quests within the broader spiritual journey of all of humanity and we practice within our five inter-traditional areas of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. We come from a variety of spiritual traditions, but regardless of our individual specifics of belief and practice, we view humans as spiritual animals and Paganism as humanity’s once and future faith. We think that Paganism has the power to transform the world for the better, and our mission is to manifest this vision. paganrenewal.org
