Workshop/Class/Trip descriptions
Friday 11am – Visioning for Life – Your Highest Self Is Hidden Treasure – John Lusk – A meditative workshop focused on revealing you at your best.
- For 3-15 people of any age who want more life today and from now on
- Who can sit quietly for up to an hour of meditation.
- This workshop lasts up to 4 hours with 1 break, depending on questions
- Regularly $100.00 per person. At Pan-Pagan Gathering: Love Offering
- Require indoor space with chairs
- In a quiet room, no equipment required. Otherwise I will need to use a microphone and speaker. 1 table for sign in, candle, chime, and sacred setting (altar).
- “Without a vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:1 Visioning is self-contemplation at the level of infinite possibility. It involves our whole spirit/mind/body self to reveal us at our spiritual DNA level. We get to know who we are and what we can be.
- We will discuss the importance of self-knowing at the visceral level before deciding what we want. We will look at the difference between visioning and visualization as we learn that we are always at choice. We will sit in a 40-50-minute visioning meditation and then journal what we found. Finally we will discuss next steps to manifest our highest vision.
“First you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
Friday 4pm – Candle workshop, making votives – Anja – Ancient Light, classroom – 7 people max – $3 – We use a ton of candles in the Craft. Have you ever gotten cranky over the prices that are being charged for them? Or the amount of chemical fragrance that makes you sneeze or sick to your stomach? We’ll be making and molding our own votives, some recycled wax, some of beeswax and some of paraffin and talking about not only safety, but how to color or scent candles safely, along with candlemaking basics. $3 covers your materials cost and a handout.
- Youngest person accepted in the class. 8. Younger aren’t safe around hot wax except at home. All minors must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
Friday, 9pm – The Power of Toning: Bringing the Universe Within – Larry and Linda – Larry and Linda Addison offer a series of experiential exercises to help you discover the vibrating breath within you. Toning is proven to calm the mind, reduce stress, increase stamina, improve concentration, release negative emotion and enhance listening ability. In this participatory session, you will learn to let go of singing, clean your ears, and find your own personal tone. “Learning to tone has improved our relationship to nature, the Universe and ourselves.”

Saturday, Noon – Quick Magickal Cleansing Magicks – Anja
Cleansing practices in the Craft may be the most used of any! There are many difficult rituals for this, but what can you do quickly and easily even if you’re very new to these ideas. You may know all these and use them, but do you know how to pass them on to someone who is panicking?
Limit 10, any age, 1 hour.
Saturday 2-4pm – Buddhism, the healing practice – Nick – I would like to offer a basic introduction to the practice and answer any questions you might have. “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo” – The essence of Buddhism is the conviction that we each have within us the ability to overcome any pro0blem or difficulty that we may encounter in life. Hope to see you all soon.
Max people: I have seating for 10
Age doesn’t matter… will have color pencils and drawing stuff to keep the attention of kiddos if parents are interested in coming and bringing their children
No Cost
Located at NBG Investigation Group and Notary, 215 SW Hwy 101, Suite 1, Waldport, Oregon (this is right down the street from Ancient Light)
Saturday, 2pm – Easy Wands – Beach collecting trip and workshop
The first hour of our class will be spent looking for items to use in wand making. Weather permitting we will go to the beach and gather sticks, shells, rocks, feathers, etc. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, supplies will be provided.
**Children must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
In the second part of the class we will construct our magical wands with the shells, rocks and other treasures that found us on our nature walk. Don’t worry, if the weather doesn’t allow our walk, or for those that aren’t able to join us on our outdoor adventure, we will provide items to use.
Saturday afternoon 3pm – Magickal embroidery – Anja – 1-8 people – Class cost is $2 for the handout and a small kit of materials. Come see some examples of this ancient form of knotwork and learn how they are done! We will cover: What makes embroidery magickal? How to attain and keep the concentration necessary to set intent. What techniques work best? Colors, stitches, fabrics….which are good for which purpose? What books are helpful? This is *not* a class in basic embroidery, but we will learn a simple stitch and practice setting of intent, sufficient to consecrate an item. Please bring sharp-pointed scissors or snips if you have them. (Anja *does* teach classes in regular embroidery. Ask for details)
- Youngest person accepted in the class. 3 – Yes, 3…. all minors must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
Saturday evening, begins after Beach Ritual – Midnight Questions – Anja – Ancient Light, book/altar area- By donation – Think the local pub near a seminary on a Friday night. This is a crowd-directed discussion. We’ll put a can on the altar for questions that you’d like to hear folks kick around or to discuss yourself. It’s intended for a free-form bit for those folks who tend to stay up, anyway! We’ll bring a little wine to share and folks are welcome to bring munchies and drinkable. There’s no fee, no limit, just whoever shows and for however long. We’ll start probably after the evening ritual and then go on however long….Kids are only welcome if they can sit still and either contribute or go to sleep.
Sunday morning 9am – The Charge of the Goddess – Anja – I’ve been studying the Charge of the Goddess and the uses of this sacred writing for many years. It’s as important to Pagans/Wiccans as the Lord’s Prayer is to Christianity or the Om Mane Padme Hum mantra is to followers of many of the Eastern Paths. We’ll go over a little of the history and development of the Charge, analyze the structure of it and then go over some of the many variations, including the various Charges of the God, ones with specific deity names, and the Litany of the Lord and Lady.

Sunday, 10am – Our Woods: Mushrooms and More, A Guided Walk – Nina
I grew up with mushroom hunting and most of the mushrooms I knew from Germany and Switzerland are also around here. To be in the woods, active, with all our senses and to find some food seems to me the best way of living. So far I just showed my husband how to identify edible mushrooms and to recognize other plants and animals in the woods.(like scat and tracks). Also I know plenty of recipes for preparing and cooking mushrooms. It seems logical to me to speak about the whole circle. Still connected with my passion as a nurse for 20 years, I also can speak about dangerous and/or risky situations in the woods.
