Workshops & Rituals:
5:00 pm Site opens
5:30 pm: Opening Circle (with Stephanie)
6:00 pm: Newcomers' Orientation (with Laura)
New to Pagan events or to OLOTEAS? Come to the newcomers' discussion! We'll give you the basics of what you should know, answer any questions you have, and go over more info about what to expect from our rituals and events.
6:30 pm: Potluck -- please bring your own feast gear
We encourage you to bring your own feast gear (plate, utensils, cup) to avoid the use of disposable dinnerware.
7:45 pm: Pre-Ritual Discussion, followed by Ritual: Overcoming the Weave (with Tarrent)
We cannot always control what happens around us, or what fate weaves for us. However, we can control what we do in response, and how we support one another in community. Join together in a time of contemplation, as we manifest overcoming some of what we face.
9:00 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion Group: Conceptualizing Pagan Spiritual Community
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 Pagan spiritual community and the different ways that we can conceptualize it.
9:00 pm: Community Discussion: Mutual aid and things to do when you don't know what to do (with Jane and All)
Let's add on to our awesome discussion from September when we talked about mutual aid, what folks are doing to boost their neighborhood, community, and extended families. When things feel overwhelming, what can you do to help yourself and others? Join us to make connections, discuss resources, and take some time to process as we navigate together.
10:15 pm: Cleanup begins (with Jane)
10:30 pm: Closing Circle (with Jane)
11:00 pm: Site closes

What to Bring:
Please bring a potluck dish to share. No meat may be prepared on the kitchen surfaces (pre-cooked meat is acceptable). We encourage you to bring your own feast gear (plate, utensils, cup) -- this avoids the use of disposable dinnerware. No alcohol or other intoxicants are allowed at OLOTEAS events. Also, please note that, due to allergy and safety concerns, no pets are allowed on site (except service animals).
Registration:
Please check in when you arrive on-site. We are sustained, and do our part to sustain our community and the wider world, through a multidirectional flow of resource contributions. These contributions include but are not limited to money, skill, talent, and material goods. We ask all those who are able to make a money donation when they come to events (usually $10 for ages 13 and up, and we're not requesting donations for ages 12 and under). This is a request, no one ever has or ever will be turned away from a regular OLOTEAS event for lack of funds, but events are expensive, so we do sincerely ask you to contribute if you are able.
A Note About Children:
This site may pose potential risks for unattended children. Parents are responsible for the safety and behavior of their children at OLOTEAS events. All children under 13 must be supervised at ALL times. Most events offer a kids' class or activity for younger kids and a Young Adult & Occult discussion group (ages 15-25).
A Note About the OLOTEAS Parents, Etc. Facebook group:
For the parents in our community, if you are not already a member, you may be interested in joining the OLOTEAS Parents, Etc. group, where we will be sharing resources for education and entertainment for the kiddos who are stuck at home. This group is ONLY for family members of children in the OLOTEAS community, and is a private group. To join, please send a friend request to the OLOTEAS Pastor FB account (not the FB group), and also send a DM requesting membership. You will then receive an invitation to join the group.
