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 Albertsons, 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.

Things to know about SATURDAY July 24 on site at the Longhouse:
  • Sat ESP is an outdoor ONLY event, with the exception of the pool room. Pool room outside doors will be open at all times. Pool will be open but indoor hot tub is closed. (Outdoor hot tub will be open if available, but may not be.) 
  • There is absolutely NO access to any indoor spaces, *including the pool area restroom*. The Shrine is closed this year.
  • This event is clothing-optional for the entire site, as usual for ESP (Note that, as usual, future in-person events are NOT clothing-optional, except for the pool area). The Sean Ciall FoL ritual Sat evening is mandatory skyclad (nude) with the possible exception of masks (see below).

ABOUT MASKS
  • While we meet entirely outdoors, mask wearing is optional. Staff will be masked.
  • We ask everyone who is over age two and unvaccinated to wear a face mask over your mouth and nose at all times, except while in the pool or eating and drinking.
  • If you are unvaccinated and choose not to wear a mask, please maintain 6' of social distance from others while on site.
  • When you register on site, you will choose a red or green wrist band to indicate if you are requesting people to maintain social distance of 6', or if that is not necessary for you.
  • During the Sean Ciall evening FoL ritual, only 100% cotton masks may be worn OR you must remain in the outer circle of participants as far from the fire as possible. 100% cotton masks will be provided for all participants who want them.
  • As a community, we care for each other. In considering whether to wear a mask at an outdoor event, remember that our events are inclusive of people who for many reasons cannot yet (or ever) be vaccinated against covid-19, and act accordingly.

Questions or concerns? Want to volunteer to help with the event? Please send email to oloteas@oloteas.org.
We can't wait to see you IN PERSON!

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
CAVEAT: This workshop is not a substitute for seeking advice from a licensed medical professional

Our Lady of the Earth and Sky invites all to join us for our 2021 Concentric Circles event!
Join us online for a day of regional rituals, workshops, networking, and celebration!

Date:  Saturday, February 27, 2021, 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Where:  Online Only – Zoom platform
NOTE: Due to Coronavirus, we will NOT be meeting in person. We will host Concentric Circles online-only, on the Zoom platform. 

 
Founded in 1998, Concentric Circles is an annual, all-day event where OLOTEAS invites other regional Pagan groups to present workshops and rituals. 
Groups that present at Concentric Circles generally are either open to the public or occasionally take new members and/or offer instruction. Concentric Circles is a wonderful opportunity to sample the Pagan possibilities in our broader regional community!

​
For full details and information, see the Concentric Circles 2021 pages.
