We each have different spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and we come together to intentionally create a welcoming and inclusive environment in which personal responsibility is encouraged, and bodily autonomy is respected. We ask everyone to participate in our welcoming culture as you interact with others here.
  • Please wear a mask if you are more comfortable doing so. 
  • We ask that you wash your hands frequently, especially if sharing snacks with others.
  • Please do not attend if you are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness.
  • No alcohol or non-prescribed drugs are allowed.
  • ​Predatory behavior is not tolerated.

Workshops & Rituals:

All event: Bring-Your-Own Picnic
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 Tarrent)

12:30–1:15 pm: Growing Up Pagan: Kids' Activity: Beach walk and sensing the energies of natural objects (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 go on a beach walk and practice sensing the different energies of natural objects.

12:30–1:15 pm: Plant Walk: Plants are People Too (with Stephanie)
Join Stephanie for a ramble to meet the permanent residents of Lincoln Park and learn about their ecology and ethnobiology.

1:15–2:00 pm: Young Adult & Occult Discussion (ages ~15-25):
​Sacred space and how our physical environment impacts spiritual practice

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 how 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: Flux and Anchor (with Robert)
“We are all on an ocean steering a course through life; sailing a dark vessel, lost in the grip of the sea...”
Join us this Saturday for a ritual exploration and meditation, of our personal balance of flux and anchor.

3:45 pm 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).
