TEJAS WEB RITUAL FOR IMBOLC
Sunday February 1, 4:30 pm, in Garrison District Park, 6001 Manchaca Rd., Austin 78745.

Join Tejas Web in celebrating Imbolc, the feast of Bridget! In this ritual, we will take a trance journey inspired by and based on Starhawk's classic "Way to the Well" drum trance. Our intention: We journey to Bridget's sacred wells to forge an anchor to our personal power.

Info and what to bring:
o  something to sit on on the ground (such as a blanket, pad or camp chair) during the trance;
o  water or what you want to drink (non-alcoholic);
o  finger food to share for the potluck feast after the ritual;
o  a flashlight to help in packing up afterwards;
o  dress for the weather.

Children are welcome with a supervising adult. However, please be aware that the heart of this ritual is a drum trance that probably won't engage young children. No activities specifically for children are planned.

All Tejas Web events are drug- and alcohol-free. There is no charge for admission to the ritual, but Tejas Web gratefully accepts donations to support our magic and ritual work.

Directions to the ritual site:
Garrison District Park is located in South Austin off Manchaca Rd. south of Stassney Lane. From Manchaca, turn east into the park and make an almost immediate right turn.

DANDELION GATHERING, October 30 - November 2, 2014



TEJAS WEB’S DANDELION GATHERING
Oct 30 - Nov 2, 2014
Central Texas

Our intention: At a gathering of Tejas Web Communities, we tend the hearth, embrace the wild, partner with our allies, and manifest the future that we desire.

Join Tejas Web Communities at the Regional Dandelion Gathering, Oct. 30-Nov. 2, on 40 acres of beautiful, wild, private land in the Wimberley area. Comfortable inside accommodations AND tenting options. Special rates for families.

We welcome all who are called by the intention, including children and partners.

Dandelion Gathering offers a variety of activities, magic, and fun. Join us for Samhain Magic, Family and Community, Reclaiming-style Ritual, Drumming and Dancing with Ancestors and Fae, Hikes in the Wild, Pumpkin Carving, Children's Activities, Costume Party, and vital Political Magic on the eve of the 2014 election.

With the rapidly changing climate, the rise of extremism in religion and politics, and global threats to the environment, peace, justice, and equality, now is the time for us to discover new ways to work together.

By deepening our connections with allies and finding solidarity with those whose spiritual beliefs are aligned with the well-being of all living creatures, we understand the ways that the health of our communities and alliances will sustain us in the challenging times - now and to come. By cultivating our active participation in the positive shifting of how we live and interact in many circles of communities, we begin the evolution from an industrial-growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.

The ancestors and descendants guide us in this work.
