FRIDAY
(Fri, 11:30 am) Romancing the Body - by Misty Dawn
Romancing the body is a series of movement, dance, intent, listening, breath, and
connecting to the body energetically as well as physically. In conjunction with slow smooth palm
strokes of touch and movement, the body engages itself in a dance of release that treats it as a
whole, and provides optimal functioning for the internal healing process to occur. Learn how to
listen to the body by applying the correct intent, and feel the rhythm of breath, increase your
intuitive awareness, as you connect to the body on an energetic level, feeling the flow and the
motion guiding you, in this gentle release. Whether it is on yourself or another individual, these
techniques can be applied in your every day life, and provide a better awareness of ones' body
that can prevent disease and illness. Misty Dawn is an experienced L.M.T of 10 years, certified
Neouromuscular Therapist, Reiki Master and Intuitive Reader. . Please bring a blanket or pillow
to sit on! Limited to 30 participants. 1 hour, in the Great Hall.

(Fri, 2:00 pm) Trance Oracles - by Ishara
Seeking advice or messages from the Divine through the trance oracle is one of the mystical
traditions that has survived through the ages. Though not often encountered in modern times,
there are still several spiritual traditions that utilize trance oracles in some form to commune with
Deity. Trance oracle work is often referred to as 'channeling,' which has been implemented to
receive communication from many types of 'Otherworldly Beings' depending upon the culture
and/or spiritual tradition. This workshop focuses upon connection with Pagan Deities. Oracles
can be invoked for individual experience or for group ritual. Trance oracle work enhances other
forms of divination as well, and lends inspiration toward creative pursuits such as art, music,
poetry or other forms of writing, and magick/ritual. 1 hour, at the Stage.

(Sun, 2:00 pm) Pagan Clergy or Chaplains for Hospitals, Prisons, FEMA, etc. - by Rev. Lord
Arteo MacAikenSneath
Pagans of all sorts are generally disregarding as clergy, though very often they resort to
ordination through ULC or other internet/long-distance entities for some legitimization. Not all
states recognize these non-seminary ordinations or any sort of clerical initiation outside of
Abrahamic religions for legal matters. However, you can still serve your wider community as
spiritual leader! This class will be a discussion on establishing chaplain recognition at various
institutions like hospitals and prisons, with law enforcement agencies and FEMA. Handouts with
relevant information will be offered. Contributions from attendees regarding their successful
accomplishments in this area are greatly encouraged. Rev. Lord Arteo has been providing
volunteer pagan chaplain services for St Mary's Hospitals, UT-Knoxville Hospital, various VA
Medical Centers, and law enforcement, for 12 years and has been a paid chaplain with Homeland
Security for 4 years. Celtic Circle Church of UK and US is his recognized fellowship. (bring your
folding chairs for comfort). 1 hour, at the Pavilion.

tasting and several for trading if you wish to do so. If you have recipes that you would like to
share, bringing them on cards would be nice. Please note that those who are interested in brewing
but have not yet begun to do so, or who do not currently have anything bottled up are welcome -
however, for tasting purposes, those who bring things to share will be given first priority. There
will likely be enough for everyone, regardless of contribution, to taste but I cannot guarantee this.
NOTE: Participants must be at least 21 years of age. 1 hour, in the Great Hall.
