This will be a multi-day Immersion into the Sacred Art of all that is the Flat Bread. We shall gather our ingredients, infuse them with Love, Healing and Nurturing Vibes. This bread will be the bread we break, eat and share with our community, family and friends the entire weekend. We’ll start on Thursday and be ready for our Banquet on Saturday. Participation is open to as many who wish, all ages welcome! There is nothing more sacred than caring for our loved ones, nothing more grounding than eating good, nutritious and wholesome food. Join me and help knead with your own hands positive vibrations that will help us to grow and connect with each other. I’ve always believed that a well nourished and healthy body, heart and mind can only impart goodness, spread kindness and quite possibly be the catalyst that changes a person’s outlook. Let’s take care of each other. – Miria

Meet and Chat! Join David and share your thoughts on all or some of the topics below:

What it is to Dedicate Yourself in the Service of the Goddess, or God? A talk of selfless dedication to the service of helping people and setting a good example of the Pagan way. A sharing of thoughts and ideals; not a lecture.

What is the Spirit Realm? From Ghost busting to Medium whom communicate with the dead. Do you think there is a divine plan for all of us, or just for some. Share your thoughts and stories with each other, if you dare.

What is Your Favorite form of Divination? What gets you in the right mind-set for divination? Is it dangerous to know too much? Share your best set of tarot cards, pendulum, scrying mirror, or crystal ball. Tell us why you do what you do with what you like to use, or how you need no props at all.
