Event listing on Facebook

Come join us for a potluck dinner and ritual in this time of the thinning veil. Our Beloved Dead are close and come in love with messages for the living. Honour who you are and who you came from in ritual based on the Reclaiming tradition.

All levels of experience are welcome. We are inclusive of all genders, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. Please bring a pot luck item to share.

You are welcome to bring a photo or item for your Ancestors to place on the shared altar.

After the potluck we will have a brief overview of Reclaiming and its particular style of ritual. We will discuss Samhain and its place on our ritual calendar. We’ll outline the logisitics of our ritual in “ritual conspiracy”, and then ritual will commence. We will have some time afterward for discussion if desired.

Come! Invite your friends!

Surrender Your Stories:
A Pathway to Transformative Release

Course description:
This course is a self-directed four week audio course. We spend our days telling ourselves the story of who we are now, and who we will be in the future is based on the stories we tell ourselves now. Who did you say you would be? Is that who you are? Is that who you wish to be? We can step onto the path of being our authentic selves by dismantling what is blocking us. We fill ourselves with blocks built on the stories we tell about ourselves. We tell stories to ourselves and we tell stories to others. Sometimes both are the same stories! The stories we tell others matter less than those we tell ourselves. It’s time to change the stories that are no longer useful, that no longer serve us. Together we’ll release your old stories to make space so you can create new stories. These tales will reflect the authentic You here, now, and lay the groundwork for the You going forward in your life.

We are all our own spiritual authority, so move at whatever pace works for you without rushing or delaying so long between the pieces that your work has lost steam.

“I chose the audio format because for me it is intimate and personal. I invite you in to sit with me on the sofa, feet tucked under, a cup of tea in hand as we talk, whispering secrets to each other that only you can hear. I created these files on my computer, in my home. You may hear the background music of my life in the form of a chiming clock, a bird singing, or a breeze blowing. I did not rerecord files to eliminate the sounds around me. They surely influence who I am as I walk through the world and leaving them puts you in my surroundings, on my sofa, comfortably hugged by supportive pillows.”
~Boneweaver

These keep coming up and up and up – with me and for me, with initiates and for initiates, with friends and for friends, etc. It is a work of a lifetime because even when you have them down pat, and they are habit, they need to be looked at again, and reinforced with thought and action (or inaction as the case may be), and reimplementing them when we fail at them. We will always continue to fail at them, some times, because that’s how humans are. And as humans we love to tell stories about ourselves, to ourselves. And we love just as much to tell stories about others, to ourselves – and sometimes we love to tell to others what we think of them, too! How dandy!

So, here is a repeat of an older blog post about one of the agreements in Anne’s words, plus her thoughts on the other 3 agreements, right after that one. Each topic will also be a link to her e-zine so you can bookmark them if you’d like. And really, get the Damn Book.

Long post is long, so here’s your cut tag. Continue reading “The Four Agreements, with extra input from Anne Brannen” →

Another Bone & Briar weekend intensive October 10-11, 2015 in a private residence minutes south of Pittsburgh, PA!!

The Peacock God and His “terrible pride”! Joy and rightful pride together.

What if you and everyone else could be as big as they wished? What if we all took up as much as we wanted physically, aurically, and psychically yet all of us still fit in the room together? Knowing that the space others take up has nothing to do with us, is not a reflection on us. How might these things feel?

What does it mean “to love ourselves in all our parts” in everyday life?

Come explore the Feri God myth with Bone & Briar. A deity of wonder, delight, and unabashed pride.

Teachers:

Amoret BriarRose: A Feri/Reclaiming initiate working in the traditions since 2000, Amoret partners with Boneweaver in Bone and Briar in Pittsburgh, PA. Amoret’s passions include community building, co-creation and manifestation, ecstatic ritual, divination and the poetry of life. She is experienced in leadership training, small group facilitation, tarot, trance techniques, and ritual arts. Amoret believes that transformation can be blissful if we surrender to the process. It is her privilege and calling to tempt seekers to their transformations.

Boneweaver: Boneweaver is a Reclaiming initiate and a Feri initiate of the Victor Anderson path through the Starhawk line. She partners with Amoret in Bone and Briar in Pittsburgh, PA. Boneweaver has been in a variety of leading and teaching roles within the Pittsburgh Pagan community for about a decade. She is an edgewalker and works the spaces of grace between life and death. Ritual arts, trance work, mentoring, and the arts as spiritual practice are of particular interest to her. She values a sense of humour and a sense of purpose in the pursuit of living authentically.

Blessings,

Boneweaver and Amoret BriarRose
