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

To belong in a community is to be at once an individual and a part of a group bigger than oneself. It is to be in a position of strength and vulnerability, comfort and danger. As one writer puts it, “Community requires of us a giving up….If we have nothing to give up, we cannot take in.”

 

I agree with the above statement completely.

It is from the service description blurb for this Sunday at the UU of the South Hills.

An open group in Pittsburgh area practicing in the Reclaiming and Feri traditions of witchcraft.

From the http://www.reclaiming.org website:
“Our vision is rooted in the religion and magic of the Goddess, the Immanent Life Force. We see our work as teaching and making magic; the art of empowering ourselves and each other. In our classes, workshops, and public rituals, we train our voices, bodies, energy, intuition, and minds. We use the skills we learn to deepen our strength, both as individuals and as community, to voice our concerns about the world in which we live, and bring to birth a vision of a new culture.”

Elements of Magic Workshop

By Art, we deepen our vision, focus our will, and empower ourselves to act in the world. In this class we begin the practice of Magic, Witchcraft, and goddess/god/mysterious ones spirituality by working with the Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. Techniques include: visualization, sensing and projecting energy, chanting, trance, creating magical space, spellcraft, and structuring rituals. Group experience follows feminist consensus process. This class is the first of the core Reclaiming classes.
