3:30–4:30 pm OLOTEAS: 25 Years and Counting (with Stephanie & All)
Autumn Equinox marks the beginning of OLOTEAS's 25th Anniversary Year! We can't share cake in person right now, but we can share our stories, memories, and hopes for the future. If you've attended for years, a couple times, or this is your first, please join us to celebrate. Our community has endured (and is enduring!) many an unexpected twist -- we're still here, now and into the future. Let's get this party started!
4:45–6:15 pm Workshop: Astronomy/Wheel of the Year (with Bobby)
For many thousands of years we have watched the skies in wonder as the sun, moon, planets, and stars danced and played before us.
We made them gods, in our own image. In this workshop we will discuss the nature of the heavenly bodies, and ways to incorporate them into our spiritual practices, as our sun slips southward into autumn.
6:30 pm Community Announcements followed by...
Ritual: Thanksgiving Ritual for Mabon 2020 (with Laura)
In the midst of the challenging times we are living through, and as is our thanksgiving tradition, we will come together from our dispersed screens to honor the Earth, reconnect with a sense of gratitude, and share our words of thanks within community.
The ritual will include a moment for candle-lighting and partaking of cakes and ale, so please feel free to bring a candle, a drink, and/or a bit of food to ritual. We’ll also be looking for four volunteers to speak the elemental calls and thanks – scripts will be shared via Zoom chat day-of.
7:00–7:30 pm OLOTEAS Open Community Discussion
Join in conversation to connect and catch up.
7:30 pm Closing Circle
