Workshops & Rituals:
All event: Bring-Your-Own Picnic or Snacks
Please bring your own picnic snacks or lunch. 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.
12:15–12:30 pm Welcome & Social (with Jayson)
12:30–1:15 pm: Beach Walk (with Stephanie)
It won't be an extreme low tide, but there's always something interesting to see on the beach!
We'll explore the shoreline looking for critters and seaweeds while also noting shoreline ecology, nearshore plants, and anything else that happens to be where we are at the time.
Please Note: Beach access from our meeting place involves walking down (and back up) a steep paved path, crossing logs, and walking on gravel/cobble that may be wet and slippery. Please plan for appropriate footwear and walking sticks or other mobility aids as needed. Walkers or wheelchairs will not be able to access the intertidal area, but we will spend a portion of this workshop on paved surfaces observing shoreline landforms, plants, and any larger wildlife.
1:15–2:00 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion (ages ~15-25):
Sacred Space (with Shay)
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 discuss sacred space and the ways that our physical environment can impact our spiritual practice.
2:00–2:30 pm Picnic Break
2:30–3:30 pm Pre-Ritual Discussion, followed by Ritual: Happy Birthday Isis! (with Robert)
Join us for a very (very) casual celebration of the return of the star Sirius, and (not coincidentally) the birthday of the Egyptian goddess Isis!
3:45 pm Closing & Cleanup
What to Bring:
Blankets for the lawn and camping chairs if you'd like seating. Picnic dinner for yourself and snacks if you'd like to share, plenty to drink (water etc. - no alcohol allowed on site), and your own feastgear (plate, cup, utensils).
