Free Spirit Gathering 2008
June 10-15, 2008 :: Darlington, Maryland

        Workshops
           

Update! Our draft schedule can be found here! Expect slight changes to it to happen.

Workshops are the heart of Free Spirit. It's through workshops and presentations that we are able to gather, share, learn and grow as a community. We have been fortunate to have truly gifted people share their knowledge in our workshops, classes and rituals. This year's programming at FSG includes such diverse subject matter as drumming, vodou, acupuncture, meditation, mead-making, sacred dance and much much more. Here is a very preliminary list of workshops and presenters, as well as general event information.

In addition to our usual wonderful assortment of workshops, we are honored this year to have Jeff McBride and Abigail Spinner McBride as our special guest presenters, after a several-year hiatus. We hope you will enjoy the addition of two nights of alchemical fire circles, Thursday and Friday, to our usual offerings, and Magnus and Spinner will do their magic show on Saturday night.

In addition to general programming we offer a track of programming that is for adults (not suitable for kids) and another track that is strictly for kids (not suitable for adults) as well as programming geared specifically for teens. In addition to the usual kids' programming, the Circle of Amber Rose will again be offering its School of Witchcaft & Wizadry for young children.


 
           
  Rituals      
           

If workshops are the heart of Free Spirit, then rituals are our soul. There are always a variety of rituals from a broad array of traditions to choose from. Past rituals have included the BlueStar Litha, Norse Blots and Sumbels, Circle of Dark Eros Ritual, Haven Family Circle, ADF Druid Rituals as well as eclectic circles that are not tradition-specific.

There are also the festival-sponsored opening, main and closing rituals which are put on by the festival organizers. Rituals are listed in the program book. The schedule for 2008 will be posted in the Spring.
