The Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought & Practice: Coming Out if the Dark 9a - 5:30pm PDT
The lockdown, which deprived us of gathering face-to-face, provided the Pagan community a chance to turn inward, grow, and learn. We reinvented teaching methods, modified the way we gathered for ritual, and found ways to celebrate apart from one another. In the darkness of the pandemic we germinated new ideas, thoughts, and practices. As we break through the topsoil and emerge back into the world, what new ways of thinking about and practicing our spirituality and religion do we bring with us? How do we re-establish past practices? What has the addition of technology brought to our lives? What have we learned and experienced during this long winter, and how do we share this with others? Please join The Symposium of Pagan Thought & Practice for a day of presentations and workshops aimed at strengthening our Contemporary Pagan Communities.
The Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought & Practice focuses on where ideas, belief, and practice meet. This annual virtual conference holds space for articulating academic and philosophical ideas into Contemporary Pagan spiritual and religious practices, and conversely examining how these practices align with and make evident Contemporary Pagan beliefs, ideas, and philosophies. Consequently, this conference’s target audience is open to all paths, practitioners and academics of Contemporary Pagan spiritualities and religions. For the Purposes of The Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought & Practice, Contemporary Paganisms encompass the widest range of spiritual and religious expressions, including Animists to Atheopagans, Druids to Wiccans, Witches to Reconstructionist Pagans, and indigenous spiritual practitioners to Contemporary Shamans.
My presentation will be just after the lunch break at 1:15pm PDT Deepening our Ancestral Connections: Spirit-work, Gardening and Community.
A reflection on deepening my Ancestral practices during the pandemic. Collaboration and healing with my spiritual tribe. Connecting with the other than human ancestors and the reflection in my garden.
Krystal Rains is an artist, herbalist, healer, traditional witchcraft and shamanic practitioner. She is focused on Healing Ancestral Legacy Trauma, using Q’ero Shamanism, Reiki and other modalities she has learned on her path.
