In this experiential workshop, we will develop our community priestessing skills.

This course will include:

* Creating empowering participatory rituals.

* Using consensus process to build energy and create inclusive rituals for community members.

This workshop will explore advanced community ritual work, in that:

* Consensus is empowering and inclusive
* Priestessing is sensitive and consensus based, collaborative
* People in the community are getting rich experiences through trance

This workshop will be participatory and experiential. We will be opening to magic and transformation.

We will collectively explore:
* Building a safe magical container
* Creating consensus in community rituals
* Using and moving energy in responsible, safe ways
* Tending and leading
* Collaborating and co-creating ritual intent, meditations, trances and chants.

Participants should come prepared to explore and experiment. The facilitators believe that each of us is her own spiritual authority. No activity at this workshop is mandatory. We request participants to commit to attending the whole workshop.

This experiential workshop is co-facilitated by Brook Schoenfield, a Priestess in the Reclaiming and Feri Traditions of Witchcraft. Brook's material springs from his wonder at the beauty and sacredness of life, from our need for connection with each other and with spirit, and from
the challenges of trying to live a life based in vulnerability and emotional honesty. His material ranges from sweet to ironic, from the poetic to strong calls to action. Brook has worked with many groups internationally as a facilitator and consensus trainer.

We welcome all genders, all races, all ages and sexual orientations
and all those differences of life situation, background, and ability
that increase our diversity.
Reclaiming is a community of individuals working to unify spirit and
politics. Our vision is rooted in the religion and magic of the
Goddess, the Immanent Life Force. We see our work as teaching and
making magic; the art of empowering ourselves and each other.
