OLOTEAS is designed to be a safe space for everyone.

We ask everyone to participate in our welcoming culture as you interact with others here.

Workshops & Rituals:
All event: Bring-Your-Own Picnic
Please bring your own picnic snacks or lunch. There will be some individually wrapped snacks to share. Note that there are no food storage or preparation facilities at the park, so you will need to bring coolers, feast gear, and whatever else is needed to store and eat your food.
12:15–1:15 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion Group: Interacting with Deities
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 will have a group discussion about the different ways that we can interact with deities.
1:15–2:00 pm Workshop: Animism and Sense of Place in a Challenging World (with Stephanie)
You aren't alone. Ever. Really. Is that comforting, or terrifying? Let's talk about it. This workshop examines our relationships with Place, with other-than-humans, with ourselves, and with each other. In just one hour! But hopefully also for many years to come.
1:15–2:00 pm Growing Up Pagan: Kids' Activity: Sound Magic (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 will learn about the different ways we can use sound when doing magic.
2:00–2:30 pm Picnic Break
2:30–3:30 pm Pre-Ritual Discussion, followed by Ritual: Children of Diaspora (with Robert)
We are the children of many diaspora. How do we connect to the energies of our ancestors and our homes? Can nomads ever be fully connected to a "sacred space"? Join us Saturday for a ritual exploration, of human connection with the earth through generations of migration.
What to Bring:
Blankets for the lawn and camping chairs if you'd like seating. Picnic dinner for yourself, plenty to drink (water etc. - no alcohol allowed on site), and your own feastgear (plate, cup, utensils). Dress for the weather with extra layers and/or sunscreen as necessary. Feel free to bring and play your drums or other acoustic instruments. Pets must be leashed and kept away from food.
A Note About Parking and Carpooling:
There is limited parking at this site – please carpool if at all possible. Parking in the lots is recommended – cars parked illegally in the surrounding neighborhood may be towed.
The park is served by the Metro Transit C Line from downtown Seattle, which runs frequently.
