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.

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.
