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 are hosting a discussion group about Pagan spiritual community, and different ways that we can conceptualize it.
2:00–3:30 pm: Workshop: Nazi or Nerd? Identifying Symbols of White Supremacism in Modern Neopaganism (with Bobby & Jane)
Saturday class is in-person without audiovisuals, Sunday is an online redux with better graphics.

At this month's Growing Up Pagan we are making fairy houses!

ABOUT MASKS AND VACCINE STATUS ON SATURDAY
Washington State is at an all-time high for Covid-19 hospitalizations. Infection can be spread by vaccinated people and by people who are infected but have no symptoms.
- The Longhouse residents would like all eligible people who come on site to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
- We ask all attendees over the age of 5 to wear a face mask over their mouth and nose at all times, except while in the pool or eating and drinking. If you do not have your own, masks are provided onsite.
- During the Picnic Dinner time, households should remain socially distant from other households while eating with their masks off. Please bring your own dinner, coolers, etc. or Albertsons and Subway are up the driveway and across the street.
- As a community, we care for each other. Our events are inclusive of children who are too young to be vaccinated against Covid-19. If you are eligible to be vaccinated but have chosen not to be, for the safety of yourself and others, please attend our online services on Sunday instead of attending the in-person event.
- OLOTEAS staff are all fully vaccinated and are wearing masks.

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