January 13-15, 2012
Presented by Carolina Spirit Quest
Fairy Stone State Park, Stuart, VA
Join Carolina Spirit Quest at the fifth annual - Winter Quest! So many of us have jobs that
don't allow us to listen to the cycles of the natural world, particularly in the winter when Nature's
message is one of rest and renewal. The purpose of Winter Quest is to listen to the rhythms of
Nature and to do quiet reflective and nurturing rituals and activities. This weekend event, like
last year's, will follow a pattern similar to that of a Spring Quest - but on a more leisurely pace
and scaled back participation. Registration is limited to 32 participants. When the wheel turns to
the chilled short days of winter, it is time for introspection once again. This January, we will be
continuing our process of looking inwards in the wintertime. The theme for the Winter Quest
event is "Our Sacred Community."

A central Florida Pagan gathering, the friendliest Pagan gathering in Florida! Absolutely
under New Management!!!!!! That's right. With the retirement of Wade & Dianne, the
community of Pagans that so loved Phoenix Festivals formed a team and bought the festival
themselves. This is the New Phoenix!!! This gathering is going to one for the history books. The
beginning of a new era. The Rise of the new Phoenix!! Phoenix Phyre is located on a working
ranch in Lakeland, FL, midway between Orlando and Tampa. The gathering is in open pasture
land that is covered by centuries old live oaks that are full of life energy and give the land a
euphoric feeling of happiness. We are very close to shopping, restaurants, and lodging, if you
prefer not to camp. Please see our website for directions and a map. The main purpose of
Phoenix Festivals is to build community. We try to get to know everyone that attends and make
them feel that they are a part of our Phamily. We do this through community rituals, community
meals, nightly drumming and dancing around the ritual fire, and other shenanigans promoting a
feeling of closeness, unity, and just plain fun away from the . As with other festivals, there will
be workshops, games, rituals, and drumming and dancing into the night. There will be merchants
and an auction of unique items made by our own craftsmen that are unavailable anywhere else.
Also, we have nightly fire spinning and are offering fire spinning workshops for those who want
to give it a try. Phynoex Festivals Inc. would like be bid you "Hail and Welcome." You are all
invited to attend our first festival as a community owned company. Phoenix Phyre is our spring
event. You will be welcomed into the loving arms of your fellow pagans, let your hair down and
be comfortable with the people who think like you. Our website, listed below, has our
registration and other information. Save some money and register today. Phoenix Festivals is a
not for profit corporation owned and operated by the community it serves. WRCF - Wiccan
Religious Cooperative of Central Florida sponsors Phoenix Festivals.

Dragon Hills Retreat (near Carrollton, GA)
Hawkfest is a Drum and Dance Festival put on BY Drummers and Dancers! Started as a
small gathering of friends who are dedicated to the joy and fun of dancing and drumming,
Hawkfest has become a gathering where dancers and drummers, fire spinners and hoopers gather
to share techniques, music, and to expand their knowledge. For the past two years, we have come
together creating Magickal and unforgettable experiences! Hawkfest is an Adults ONLY
festival someplace where adults come together in a safe place for GROWN UP TIME! We
have done this for a few reasons. Not only is this a time for Adult fun, the gathering has areas
where Skyclad (full nudity) is permitted. In the past kids have been part of our gathering. The
adults who attend want to feel the freedom to be Adults. Most children were not raised in such a
free and open culture. Because of this, we prefer that those who come to Hawkfest be 18 years
of age and over. In case you haven't figured it out yet, HAWKFEST IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!
Every night transports you into a place where you can dance, drum, spin, hoop, and celebrate
until the sun rises! It is a time outside of time where we set aside egos and drum and dance
finding the rhythmic ecstasy of our extraordinary lives. Dancers, Fire Spinners and Hoopers
come to Hawkfest to experience not only their own heart and soul but the hearts and souls of
everyone in the Circle each other and the drummers. You will walk away from Hawkfest a
better player, a better dancer, a better hooper, or a better fire spinner!!!

The Lodge at Turtle Lake, Camilla, GA
Earthdance, held every year on the third weekend of September, is CST's official festival,
and is where our annual membership meeting and elections are held.
Earthdance has a long history; it was first started by Shadowcat at FDR State Park in Pine
Mountain, GA, and was then taken over by Stormy & Sandy. They ran it for a couple of years
together, and then it became Stormy's responsibility. Under her guidance, Earthdance moved to
Hard Labor Creek State Park east of Atlanta, GA, and then finally to Kolomoki Mounds State
Park. After her passing in 2004, her daughter Carol Lynne took over. Earthdance was last held in
2005, and after this 5-year hiatus, Carol Lynne has graciously given CST permission to revive
Earthdance and hold it in Stormy's honor.

large and small, and intensives where you can work with specific Gods or traditions. There will be
vendors of handmade spiritual crafts, diviners, and many group altars set up for the weekend. The
festival is at a Pagan-friendly campground with cabins, showers, and a meal plan.
While this event is open to everyone, the focus will be on modern Neo-Pagan ways of
honoring the Northern Gods. This is not a reconstructionist-focused event; it is a place for diverse
worshipers to come together and share. Many different Northern Gods will be honored at some
point or another during the weekend, and while no one is required to honor any particular deity,
we expect folks to be respectful of all differing religious practices, the Gods of everyone present,
and all other attendees regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or lifestyle. Hospitality, and creating a
safe, peaceful, and nonjudgmental space for everyone is a high priority for us.
Come to the shadow of Yggdrasil and dance with us!

obervations of the Sabbat celebrations.
SummerFest 2005, comments by Isaac Bonewits: "Last night (Thursday), the festival held
it's opening circle, which was not what most festival-goers think of as such. First there was an
hour-long ritual briefing earlier in the evening, then everyone was sent to their cabins to nap.
When the ceremony began at 11:00 pm, it was an intense, all-night ritual, focused around the
alchemically transformative power of the sacred fire and the drums. It seems that many of the
drum circles now being done in the western part of the USA are more structured than those in the
east, and are designed to produce deep trances and psychologically important changes, rather
than just the ecstatic joy I'm used to seeing in eastern Pagan festivals."

In September 2009, the Connecticut Wiccan and Pagan Network, Inc. (CWPN) obtained the
festival formerly known as Harvest Home Gathering (HHG). It is with great excitement and
expectation that the CWPN will be sponsoring this event. Let us now gather
together to celebrate and give thanks for the harvest that will sustain us through the dark months
ahead. Join us for a gathering celebrating community, family, home and the harvest.
Harvest Gathering promotes celebration, knowledge, spirituality, enlightenment, family and
fellowship. By virtue of its very name, we embrace the collective spirit of our kindred. Together
we plant the seeds of our future and together we shall enjoy the fruitful harvest of our collective
efforts.
The weekend will consist of approximately 30 classes and workshops with World
Renowned Authors, a live concert, a Dance featuring D.J. music, and a Renaissance Feast with
bards and wenches.
Harvest Gathering is both honored and privileged to offer a variety of well-known and
respected speakers from various disciplines including: Witchcraft, Celtic Studies, Shamanism,
Thelemic and Ceremonial Magic, Voodoo, Norse Spirituality and more.
