We Are Aradia Ritual
These are the times we were made for. The Goddess Diana saw her people were suffering from tyranny. She sent her daughter Aradia to earth to teach us the secrets of witchcraft so that we could rise up. We don’t need a savior. We must save ourselves. We need to be the Witches. In this pan-traditional ritual we will call on Aradia to once again bring her wisdom to us to fight the tyranny. This ritual is a call to action; it is time to empower everyone who needs it. "For now as witches we all shall rise!"

Healing the Community pt 3
A series of community-building discussions and activities created by experienced community workers as response to recent discussions about inclusion/exclusion within the greater Pagan culture and PantheaCon. Each session in the series offers activities that can stand alone (if you can only attend one), or layer together to create a more in-depth experience. The intention is to provide opportunities for us to authentically, respectfully communicate and come away with ways to best meet the needs of our various intersecting communities. Anyone is welcome to any of them.
Sunday Focus: Provides facilitated, simultaneous, contained spaces for breakout affinity groups to share space with one another and discuss within those groups the impact of recent situations on our groups within community and to give/receive focused support.
