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.

Online Workshop Descriptions for Sunday
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
