Attending a class indicates that you agree to my Class Policies. Please read them prior to registering.

	The Elements of Witchcraft Fridays in May 2008 (2, 9, 16, 23, and 30) 7-9pm Location: Dolphin Dream, Walnut Creek, CA $25/class, or $100 in advance for entire course The powers that witches call upon are anything but supernatural. Through training we can learn to see beyond the limits of everyday reality, and begin to weave our own threads into the Pattern; to make magick. In this five week course we will open ourselves in trance and experience the five elemental powers of the magickal arts: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit, and discover how this ancient model can connect us to the land on which we live, and also to the deepest levels of ourselves. We will experience each of the elements in turn and see how they unfold in our lives, bringing us closer to balance, strength, and alignment to our power.
	In Honor of GLBT Pride Month: The Amethyst Pentacle with Chas Bogan and Storm Faerywolf Sunday, June 22 6-8pm Location: Dolphin Dream, Walnut Creek, CA $20 Meditation is a powerful tool that we can use to gain awareness and to live our lives more fully, but many of the tools and models employed by the main-stream religions are heterosexist, if not blatantly homophobic. The Amethyst Pentacle was created with this in mind, providing a symbolic map of some common experiences of the queer practitioner – regardless of sexual identity. The Amethyst Pentacle seeks to illumine certain experiences and to show them as a healthy part of a larger whole. Each point on the pentacle embodies these concepts in such a way so that we may then approach them from a place of balance and clarity, seeing our experiences as necessary catalysts for transformation. We will journey in trance to each of the points on the pentacle so that we may cleanse our relationships to them and reclaim our birthright as queer spiritual beings. Chas Bogan and Storm Faerywolf are both initiated priests of the Feri tradition and have been partnered for over 15 years. In addition to his spiritual pursuits, Chas is an artist and craftsman, and Storm is a poet and visionary artist.

	The Three Souls of the F(a)eri(e) Tradition Tuesday, June 24 7-9pm Location: Dolphin Dream, Walnut Creek, CA $20 Many cultures espouse the multiplicity of the human soul. From Polynesian Huna, to traditional Jewish & African beliefs, an awareness of our three souls has manifested in many ways through time. Modern spiritual systems often recognize and encourage communion with our “higher self”, but this is but one of the facets of our existence. In this class we will explore the three souls as taught in the Feri tradition of witchcraft and learn how to commune with each of them in order to bring them into alignment, assisting us in one of the most vitally important foundational steps toward our own spiritual evolution.
	Feri Camp '08: Sex, Love, and Power with T. Thorn Coyle, Storm Faerywolf, Michele Jackson, and Karina June 26-29 2008, New Hampshire Join Feri students and practitioners for Summer Camp in New Hampshire this June as we explore the msyteries of Sex, Love and Power in the Feri Tradition.

	Foundations of Feri: The Water Cleansing Rite (Kala) Friday, July 11 7-8pm Location: Dolphin Dream, Walnut Creek, CA $20 Cleansing rites are an important part of any spiritual path, and especially so in the Feri tradition. In this class we will discuss different methods of cleansing, and especially the Water Cleansing rite (Kala). We will then perform a version of the rite together to help assist our transformation of weakness into power.
	Foundations of Feri: The Iron Pentacle Friday, July 18 7-9pm Location: Dolphin Dream, Walnut Creek, CA $20 The Iron Pentacle is one of the most important tools of self-transformation that the Feri tradition has to offer. In this class we will delve into each of the five points of our beloved pentacle to see how they play out in our lives, as well as invoke this symbol in ritual to see how and where we are in or out of balance so that we may then begin to reclaim our lost power.
