Growing Up Pagan (GUP) is a children’s class series created and taught by second-generation Pagans who grew up in the OLOTEAS community. We use a Pagan framework to teach skills and concepts that kids can use regardless of their future spiritual paths. Our goal is to help children in our community build a strong foundation to engage with spirituality of all types in a meaningful and respectful way. We want to ensure that know they have people to talk to who share and understand the experience of growing up Pagan. While programming is primarily geared towards school-aged children, we also provide activities appropriate for children under 5.

GUP takes place at the same time as the OLOTEAS workshop to allow parents to attend the workshop child-free. Parents are asked to pick up their kids promptly at the end of the workshop hour, as this is the only time during OLOTEAS that childcare is provided. Parents are also welcome to stay and attend GUP with their child(ren) if they would like. Please ask GUP program leads if you have any questions about our youth programming.

Classes take place on the fourth Saturday of each month as a part of the monthly OLOTEAS event. 

And join us for our recurring, seasonal Classes:
