As a community we care for each other:
OLOTEAS is designed to be a safe space for everyone. We each have different spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and we come together to intentionally create a welcoming and inclusive environment in which personal responsibility is encouraged, and bodily autonomy is respected. We ask everyone to participate in our welcoming culture as you interact with others here.
  • Please shower before entering the pool and hot tub.​
  • Please wear a mask if you are more comfortable doing so. 
  • We ask that you wash your hands frequently, especially before and after Potluck and before having treats from the coffee bar. 
  • Please do not attend if you are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness.
  • No alcohol or non-prescribed drugs are allowed on site.
  • ​Predatory behavior is not tolerated. 

​Our Lady of the Earth and Sky is an inclusive, welcoming, family-friendly, queer-and-trans-friendly, and anti-racist space.

Workshops & Rituals:

2:00 pm: Longhouse site opens

2:30 pm: Opening Circle (with Robert)

3:00 pm: All-Ages Activity: StitchNWitch (with Tarrent)
StitchNWitch is a social gathering where the community can come together with their favorite crafts (it doesn't have to be stitching!) and join one another in a shared love of crafting and open round-table-style conversation about various topics and interests.

3:00 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion Group: Spiritual Homes and Spiritual Housekeeping (with Sebastien)
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. At this month's Young Adult & Occult: We will discuss what it means to build and maintain a spiritual home.

4:00 pm: Growing Up Pagan: Annual Kids' Egg Hunt! (with the Magickal Miscreants)
This is a series of classes about what it means to grow up Pagan – taught by Pagan kids, for Pagan kids. We are all young adults who grew up in Pagan families, and these classes draw on our personal experiences of what we wish we had known growing up and the kids’ own questions about what it means to be Pagan. At this month's Growing Up Pagan: We'll have our annual kids' egg hunt! Bags will be provided for kids to collect eggs, but families are welcome to bring their own baskets. Eggs with non-candy fillings will be available for children with dietary restrictions.

4:00 pm: Discussion: OLOTEAS Spring Communi-tea Meeting (with Jane & All) 
Community Meeting: Join us for our Spring Communi-tea Meeting (tea and light snacks provided, or bring your favorite to share)! We'll be touching on such topics as the Aphrodite/Pan Shrine and a fun session of sharing where we are now and where we want to be in the future!

5:30 pm: Potluck & Pick of the Potluck -- please bring your own feast gear
We encourage you to bring your own feast gear (plate, utensils, cup) to avoid the use of disposable dinnerware.
Bring your favorite homemade dish if you'd like to participate in the Pick of the Potluck competition! :)

6:30 pm: 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.

7:00 pm: Pre-Ritual Discussion, followed by Ritual: A Ritual for the Community, to Work Energy Toward Our Will (with Stephanie) 
Use Your Imagination! What kind of world do you want to live in? Bring your inspired ideas to share in our circle of community, where we will raise energy together towards manifesting our shared visions of the world we wish to live in, collectively and individually. Drums are welcome to accompany the chants.

After Ritual: Singing Circle (with Abhainn)
Join us after ritual for community singing! We will sing a selection of Pagan chants and songs. All levels of experience are welcome.

9:00 pm: Cleanup begins (with Jane)

9:30 pm: Closing Circle and site closes (with Jane)

What to Bring to the Longhouse:
Please bring a potluck dish to share. No meat may be prepared on the kitchen surfaces (pre-cooked meat is acceptable). We encourage you to bring your own feast gear (plate, utensils, cup) -- this avoids the use of disposable dinnerware. No alcohol or other intoxicants are allowed at OLOTEAS events. Bring a towel for pool/hot tub use. The Longhouse no longer loans out towels -- please bring your own. (Note: the pool area is clothing-optional.) Shoes cannot be worn indoors, 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. Parents are responsible for the safety and behavior of their children at OLOTEAS events. All children under 13 must be supervised at ALL times. If outdoors, or in the pool area, children must be within line-of-site of their parent or caregiver. In the pool area, 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/).

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.
