Reaching community, how to reach your community at large while staying true to yourself.
Wednesday August 5, 2026 15:00 - 16:30 EDT
Canteen
It depends on which thing I am speaking about. I will stay with questioners as long as I can meaning if we have to go to another public area such as picnic tables etc... To help all who want knowledge then I am willing and will spend all day getting them information that is local to their home states etc... I am there to enjoy the community, but part of that means helping the community grow. If we get so far into the weeds, or they decide to run for office or adopt a child, and need more guidance I will pass on my phone number and continue helping.

Pagan Wildcrafting
Saturday August 8, 2026 09:30 - 11:00 EDT
Canteen
Wildcrafting is the harvesting of wild things--plants, mushrooms, stones, animal parts, etc.--for human uses. These materials have both practical benefits (as food, medicine, and more) and many applications in folk magic and Pagan practices. But, as ecologically and spiritually aware practitioners, we can't just walk into the woods and grab stuff; we need to conduct our harvest with respect, intention, and care for the natural world, as well as our own safety. Come learn the basics of ethical wildcrafting and how to use wild materials; share your own wildcrafting experiences; and leave inspired to create with the bounty of nature.
