In addition to the online workshop and ritual this month, we are also meeting at the Meridian Playground park in Seattle for an in-person ritual. 
Where: Online on Zoom. In-person at Meridian Playground park (see below for in-park location)

​
The mixed online and in-person timing is designed for online workshop and then a choice between online or in-person ritual -- rituals will not be the same but share the theme of observing Samhain. 

As is our tradition, during our Samhain services we read the names of those who have passed in the previous year whose memory we wish to honor.

• If you wish to submit names to be read, please add them to this Google doc by  5:00 PM, FRIDAY OCTOBER 22 
• PLEASE include pronunciation information if it is not obvious

• 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.

1:45 The Wheel of the Year (with the Magickal Miscreants)
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

This is not required to attend the workshop, and is purely optional for the exercise at the end.
