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).
For this month's Young Adult & Occult: We will discuss everyday spiritual practice during Covid-19.

3:30–4:30 pm Online Activity Group: Pagan Story Time with Stitching Witches (with Jane)
As an island nation, Japan has always relied heavily on fishing, and fishing relies on the tides and the moon. It should come as no surprise then that one of the oldest recorded folktales from Japan is a story of the Moon Princess. Bring your arts and crafts project if you have one, or just come and listen to the story of that time the Emperor of Japan clashed with the Armies of the Moon.
4:45–6:15 pm Online Workshop: Pacific Northwest Woo-Woo and You: Reconnecting Body, Mind, and Spirit with Place (with Stephanie)
Most of us do not have indigenous roots, or indigenous roots in this place. Still, we feel the call of the mountains, forests, and waters, and yearn to connect. How do we honor our personal connection to this land and its unique and glorious energies, without cultural appropriation? We will begin this complex conversation, and explore some simple actions to begin or deepen the journey of connection.
6:30 pm Community Announcements followed by...
