THE ART OF RITUAL
With Morgana, Cat Dancing, Suzanne
Meets on 4 Wednesdays, 7-10pm, in central Austin: January 13, February 10, March 3, April 7.
In the Art of Ritual you will learn how to coordinate, plan and create public rituals with impact and integrity. This work calls you to step into your power as priest/priestess and ritualist. If you have attended or participated in a Tejas Web or Reclaiming-style public ritual, and have dreamed of creating this kind of magical group experience yourself, you're invited to join this class series.
The class will work with ritual intention and structure, ritual and priest/essing skills, ritual theatre, ritual roles, how to anchor and coordinate ritual as well as how to plan and create it, and ritual practicalities and logistics.
You will practice what you learn by creating the Tejas Web ritual for the Spring Equinox. You will explore how to take the skills of ritualist and priestess out into the world. When you complete this class, you will be prepared to anchor and create a public ritual.
If this calls to you, we ask you to make these commitments:
attend the four class sessions,
attend the Brigid ritual (February 7, 2pm) as participant/observer
collaboratively plan the Spring Equinox ritual (March 20)
commit to co-coordinating/anchoring, with backup from a more experienced ritualist, at least one Tejas Web ritual after the Spring Equinox
Prerequisites: some magical experience; some familiarity with Tejas Web/Reclaiming style ritual or magic classes (in other words, you have attended one or more rituals or classes)
Sliding scale $40 - $100 for the class series. Pay what works for you within this range. A $25 deposit reserves your place in the class. Send your registration and a check or money order for the deposit or the fee to: Tejas Web, PO Box 11586, Austin TX 78711.
