SUMMARY:Refreshing Your Spiritual Life
DESCRIPTION:What do we do when our religious practices start to feel… meh? How can we keep our feet on our path for the long term\, through authentic personal practice and deepening connection with deity? \nHow do we keep our practice vital and relevant for years and decades? And how do we help those newer to Paganism do the same? We certainly aren’t going to push some “One True Faith\,” but there are some things we can each adapt\, to revitalize our unique and various spiritual paths. What are the tools we use to keep our practice fresh? And how do we get past crises of faith? \nAmber K is a third degree priestess of the Wiccan faith. She was initiated at the Temple of the Pagan Way in Chicago and served on the Council of Elders there. Her books on magick and the Craft have been widely circulated in the United States and Europe\, and for 35 years she has traveled across the U.S. teaching the Craft. She has worked with Circle and the Re-Formed Congregation of the Goddess\, and served as National First Officer of the Covenant of the Goddess for three terms. She is a founder of Our Lady of the Woods and the Ladywood Tradition of Wicca\, and currently is Executive Director of Ardantane. \nLora Jackson Legare has been a practicing Wiccan for 35 years. She is a professional archaeologist\, professor of anthropology\, artist and writer. She has led numerous public rituals in southern New Mexico and conducted workshops and classes on developing connections with Celtic Goddesses and Gods\, stone magick\, and magickal correspondences\, and led many guided meditations. \nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register  below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, July 10th.

SUMMARY:The Bardic Way Part 2: Making It Real...The Bardic Way
DESCRIPTION:Drums beating in the night\, calling and responding with exotic and intricate rhythmic phrases…a rowdy group of combat veterans at the table in the corner of the club\, drinking and laughing\, helping each other remember the worst moments of their lives…robed and hooded figures circling around the fire\, chanting and dancing\, invoking unfathomable cosmic energies…a mother softly singing to the newborn in her arms in a private language that she makes up in the moment\, but that the child has known since before the cord was cut… \nThese are some of the endlessly diverse ways in which people engage in the same single practice of telling our stories. And stories as we know are the raw materials from which we create\, or confound\, our shared reality from one brief moment to the next. \nIn the first part of this series on The Bardic Way\, we followed the cultural and historical pathways of the storytellers in many civilizations and historical periods that have shaped traditions\, held memories\, instilled beliefs\, and imagined futures for their societies. And through that common lens of storytelling we identified them all\, and by extension ourselves\, as true Bards\, together dismantling and recreating our worlds with every breath. \nIn this seminar\, we’ll look at many of the Bardic practices that we employ in our circles and rituals and magickal workings\, and we’ll examine the idea that\, by actively and consciously including these practices in our daily living and personal relationships\, we can craft a society that rises above the fractured narratives of our times and tells instead a story of simplicity\, empathy\, and diversity…of a community traveling together on the path of the Bardic Way.  \nBraeden C (he\, him) has been a practicing Wiccan for 30 years\, a Pagan in spirit for twice that\, and is a lifelong hand drummer and singer of the stories. He is an initiate in the West Coast Eclectic tradition through the Circle of the Winter Moon and has led numerous ritual circles in the Four Corners community. Braeden also served on the Ardantane board of directors in the early days\, and recalls tramping around the local deserts and mountainsides with the founders\, looking for a home for this special institution! Braeden has since taken a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution and traded the beautiful New Mexico desert for the rugged coastline and redwood forests of northern California\, where he practices family mediation in the state Superior Court for Humboldt County. \nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register  below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, July 17th.
