Notes About Returning to In-Person Events at the Longhouse: 
We’ve missed seeing you! We are very excited that, in addition to evening online ritual, we have returned to in-person events at the Longhouse!

As a community, we care for each other, and there are people in our community and among the Longhouse residents who have risk factors for complications from covid infection or who are still not eligible for vaccines.
Therefore:

• We continue to ask that anyone over age 5 who attends OLOTEAS events in person be vaccinated against covid. If you choose not to have a covid vaccine, we ask you to participate online.
• While on the Longhouse grounds, we ask that you remain masked in all indoor spaces except the pool room and Shrine. Masking outdoors is optional EXCEPT in ritual if participants will be close to each other.
• There will be no potluck meals at our April—June events, and we ask that no one eat indoors at these events. We’ll have a covered coffee bar set up outdoors, and you are welcome to bring your own food to eat outdoors or in your vehicle.
• Our schedule will be different than it was before. Site opens at noon and closes at 6pm; see event listings each month for the full schedule. Online Zoom services begin at 7:45pm and close at 9:15pm.
• The pool will be open, and most of the pool room doors will be kept open at all times for circulation, regardless of outdoor temperature or weather.
• The Pan/Aphrodite Shrine, when open, will be available for one party at a time only. If the door is closed, assume the space is in use. When leaving the Shrine, please leave the door open for air circulation. [The Shrine is not open in May.]
• Stewardship events will not occur prior to our events on event days, but Longhouse Stewardship events are happening on Sunday! Participants who are over age 18 and able to do so are encouraged to join in site stewardship activities to help maintain the site for everyone. 
  The Longhouse Stewardship event schedule for the next two months is:
  Sunday, May 22nd - 11-4pm
  Sunday, June 26th - 11-4pm
  More information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/oloteas/posts/10161811821863082/  

Saturday May 28 Evening Online Events: 
OLOTEAS Services will also continue online, 7:45pm – 9:15pm PST, with an online ritual and facilitated Coffee Klatch discussion on Pagan topics. 

Questions or concerns? Please send email to oloteas@oloteas.org.

May 28 Daytime In-Person Events and Ritual at the Longhouse:

12:30 Opening Circle (with Laura)

1:00 Newcomers' Orientation (with Laura)
New to Pagan events or to OLOTEAS? Come to the newcomers' discussion! We'll give you the basics of what you should know, answer any questions you have, and go over more info about what to expect from our rituals and events.

1:15–2:15 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion Group: Working with Ancestors in Day-to-Day Practice
Young Adult & Occult is a space for Pagans in their late teens and early twenties (roughly 15-25) to build community and learn together that is held monthly at OLOTEAS events (and sometimes offsite). At this month's Young Adult & Occult: We will have a group discussion about the ways we work with our ancestors in our day-to-day practice.

2:30–3:30 pm: Growing Up Pagan Kids' Class/Activity: Hands-on Investigation of Plants and Their Energies (with the Magickal Miscreants)
At this month's Growing Up Pagan, we will go to the community garden for a hands-on investigation of plants and their energies.

2:30–3:30 pm: Workshop: Sky Scrying and Weather Witchery (with Robert)
Predicting weather by the clouds. Introduction to cloud identification and mid-latitude weather prediction.

3:45 pm: Pre-Ritual Discussion, followed by Ritual: Liminal in Light and Shadow (with Jane)
When we think of liminal time or liminal place, we often think of some shadowy, timey-wimey, in-between scary space. But it can also be a time of joyful anticipation. The time between when a plant sprouts and a fruit forms; the time between picking a fruit and being able to eat a pie.

5:30 Closing Circle (with Stephanie)

(with Kimberly)
We will raise energy together towards the wishes you have for the world, the community, and yourselves at this time. All energy raised will be for the good of all and harming none. If you have a request for the ritual, you can submit it on this public Google doc (instructions in document), or we will also go around for additions during the ritual. 
For those who would like to, please have:
- A small vessel of water.

- An oil, perfume, spice, or object with a pleasant scent that you associate with focus or Will to help support our wishes.

After Ritual: Coffee Klatch facilitated conversation: Topic: The Importance of Names (with Kimberly)

A Note About the OLOTEAS Parents, Etc. Facebook group: 
For the parents in our community, if you are not already a member, you may be interested in joining the OLOTEAS Parents, Etc. group, where we will be sharing resources for education and entertainment for the kiddos who are stuck at home. This group is ONLY for family members of children in the OLOTEAS community, and is a private group. To join, please send a friend request to the OLOTEAS Pastor FB account (not the FB group), and also send a DM requesting membership. You will then receive an invitation to join the group.
Also see the GROWING UP PAGAN lesson plans and activity outlines available on our website now.

Healing Temple
Our virtual Healing Temple webpage is always open with resources for self-care and finding support. 

What to Bring to the Longhouse:
You may want to bring snacks for yourself to eat outside or in your vehicle. There will be no potluck and no indoor eating. No alcohol or other intoxicants are allowed at OLOTEAS events. You might want to bring a towel for pool/hot tub use (note: the pool area is clothing-optional). Shoes cannot be worn inside, so please wear a pair that can be slipped easily on and off. We strive to do the main ritual outside, regardless of weather, so please bring layered clothing for colder/wetter weather if desired. Feel free to bring and play your drums or other instruments. Also, please note that, due to allergy and wildlife concerns, no pets are allowed on site (except service animals).

Registration:
Please check in at the front door when you arrive on-site. We are sustained, and do our part to sustain our community and the wider world, through a multidirectional flow of resource contributions. These contributions include but are not limited to money, skill, talent, and material goods. We ask all those who are able to make a money donation when they come to events (usually $10 for ages 13 and up, and we're not requesting donations for ages 12 and under). This is a request, no one ever has or ever will be turned away from a regular OLOTEAS event for lack of funds, but we do sincerely ask for it if you are able.  

A Note About Children:
This site features a swimming pool, hot tub, and many natural outside features that pose potential risks for unattended children; therefore, children younger than the age of 13 MUST be under adult supervision at ALL times during this event. With respect to the pool, an individual adult may be responsible FOR NO MORE THAN 3 CHILDREN (those under 13). Most events offer a kids' class or activity for younger kids and a Young Adult & Occult discussion group (ages 15-25). There are also some games and craft supplies available.

A Note About Parking and Carpooling:
Parking availability at the Longhouse is limited – please carpool if at all possible. Park near the outdoor "Registration" booth or along the stretch of the driveway near the outdoor kitchen and stage areas. Please park close to the adjacent vehicle, but be considerate of vehicles displaying disability license plates or signs. Once at the site, due to limited space, we advise that folks leave most personal belongings in their vehicles. There is no public transit option for the Longhouse, so if you are able to offer a ride or are looking for one, please feel free to post ride availability or requests to the OLOTEAS community email list or our Facebook group page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/oloteas/).


Directions to the Longhouse:
Take 520 eastbound to the Redmond Way/Fall City (WA 202) Exit. Turn right at the light at the end of the off ramp. Go approximately 5 miles on Redmond-Fall City Road. Driveway is on the right, 23301 (directly across from SmartStop Self Storage). If you pass Albertson's, you have gone about 100 yards too far. When you first pull into the drive you should immediately see a large wooden sign that says The Longhouse; if you don’t you are in the neighbors’ drive.
NOTE for your drive home:
The westbound onramp to SR 520 from 202/Redmond Way will be closed and detoured for light rail construction April–August.

Zoom Ritual: Fetching Back the Light (online with Stephanie)
The Solstice has passed and the days are getting longer, but are we feeling more light in our lives yet? In this meditative ritual we will make an active effort to deliberately bring light back into the world, for ourselves and for the good of all.

6:30 pm Zoom meeting closes



Descriptions of In-Person Events:

6:45 pm Gather in person at Meridian Playground park

7:00 pm In-Person Ritual: Waning Wolf Moon Ritual (with Jane)
The light of the year returns, the full moon flares, but then dims and the world seems to dip into darkness again. The post-holiday lull, the return to school rush, the new year's resolutions, the pile up of work, and current events... sometimes it feels like it's all too much. In this self-care ritual, we will look for something that we can set aside for a time—not banish or get rid of, but something we can come back to—like the moon fading, resting, then growing back to fullness.

Where to meet in Meridian Playground park:
In addition to our virtual programming this month, we are meeting at Meridian Playground park in Seattle for an in-person ritual. 
Meridian Playground - Parks | seattle.gov
4649 Sunnyside Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98103

• If you are unvaccinated and choose not to wear a mask, please maintain 6' of social distance from others while on site.

12:30 Pagan Quaker Meeting for Worship (with Laura)
A long-standing ESP tradition, virtual for the second year! Join us for a Sunday meditative workshop to reflect on the weekend. This workshop will combine Quaker and Pagan methods of worship into one. Quakers worship by gathering in silence and inviting the Divine to speak through them. We will begin with a brief orientation for people who have never attended Quaker Meeting for Worship. A circle will be cast in Pagan style, and then we will gather in silence. Participants will be invited to contemplate on the festival of Lughnasadh and share any Divine messages with the assembled.

In recognition of the summer holiday, the OLOTEAS youth leadership will be running a beginner to intermediate level workshop on the Wheel of the Year and temporal cycles.

3:00 Astral Projection as a Tool for Self-Healing (with Rich Benack)
This workshop will look at how Astral Projection (AP), trance work, and biofeedback can be used as a tool for helping to keep yourself healthy. Our focus will be on how AP can help you stay physically, mentally, and psychically healthy during these difficult times.
We will look at:
-- What is Astral Projection & trancework and how does it work?
-- Learning about the role your subconscious plays in keeping you healthy
-- Introduction to biofeedback and managing your own body
-- How AP can help others with their own healings
-- A guided visualization to explore biofeedback and examine your own health

You are welcome to listen or to sing along (but muted because Zoom). Lyrics will be shared during ritual, but you can learn several of the songs from this Spotify playlist beforehand if you’d like: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0LlcSF0Pzth4SrelFhYF8i
If you are able, please bring to ritual: 
1) a candle with lighting implement and
2) some food you can eat that is ripe and in season now.

3:45 pm Zoom Meeting Begins  [See Next Event page for link] 

4:00 pm Opening Circle (with Bobby)

4:45–6:15 pm Workshop: Pagan Accessories and Magickal Jewelry (with Tarrent) 
For this workshop we will go over Magickal and Spiritual Accessories and what that means in Pagan spaces. We will discuss the various applications of jewelry or accessories including Amulets, Talismans, Prayer Beads, Veiling, and more! If times allows, we will do a brief example of setting intention into an accessory or item, and charging both initially and with continued use.
Anyone who wishes to participate in the exercise should prepare an item such as stones or beads, an already finished piece of jewelry, or even just an accessory they wish to set intentions into, as well as anything they want to aid in their process (candles/incense/etc.). This is not required to attend the workshop, and is purely optional for the exercise at the end.

6:30 pm Community Announcements followed by...
Ritual: Small Steps, Big Hearts, and Flowers! (with Stephanie)
A SECOND virtual Beltaine? Are you kidding? But with the longer days we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Join us for a ritual to explore where we've been and where we're going, with gratitude, hope, and virtual May Baskets for all.
​For this ritual, if you are able to, please have a candle, a small vessel of water, and a flower of any sort (can be real, paper, silk, etc.) to help you participate.
