Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

Blót to Thor
This is an alcohol free ritual.

If this is your first pagan festival or Free Spirit, or if life is challenging right now (because of course it is…), this class is a must. Whether you are feeling disconnected, overwhelmed and fearful in life, or just energetically sideways from a ritual at FSG, Grounding is necessary for balance and health.  In Magickal work, and in your mundane life, we all need connection and quiet – stay in the moment, turn down the volume and just BE.  This has never been more urgent than in 2026…. If you are new to Free Spirit or Pagan work, Grounding will help you get the most out of your experience.  Both practical and Magickal, there is something here for everyone.  Open to all levels of experience. Bring a comfy chair, your notebook and an open spirit.

Ancient Egyptian myth tells us that the world is shaped by a living tension between opposing forces — order and upheaval, harmony and disruption, endings and beginnings. Through the stories of Ma’at and Isfet, we are invited to explore how balance is not static, but something continually restored through conscious action.


In this interactive workshop, we’ll look at how these timeless myths speak to the challenges of our current moment. Together we’ll explore how cycles of breakdown and renewal shape both our inner lives and the wider world, and how we can learn to stand at the crossroads without being torn apart by extremes.


As the energies of a new Age rise, this workshop offers tools for recognizing your place in the ongoing work of restoration, justice, and transformation. Step into the mythic current, and discover how holding tension with awareness can become an act of power, devotion, and change.

Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a life transition, a dream, or a former version of yourself, this workshop offers a safe and nurturing space to reconnect with your inner wisdom while finding comfort in the enduring rhythms of the Earth.


Participants will leave with practical Earth-based practices they can return to whenever grief arises, along with a renewed sense of belonging, hope, and trust that healing unfolds in its own sacred time.
