​Join us for a workshop with Izzy Swanson on Trauma Awareness in Modern Paganism. Most of us come to spiritual community seeking connection, safety, and support—but not everyone arrives without wounds. This workshop explores how trauma (especially religious trauma) shows up in modern Pagan/polytheist communities. We’ll talk about common patterns, impacts, and practical ways to build more trauma-aware rituals, spaces, and relationships.

​Hail the Doers! What a magical night in the Court of the Fae!
We’re still glowing from the enchantment of our masquerade ball and NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival fundraiser, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. It takes a village to create a night in our Court of Faerie, and we’re so grateful to the incredible team of volunteers and staff who poured their time, energy, and love into every detail of the evening. Your dedication made this event possible and your magick made it such memorable time. There are sooo many to tag and thanks for this.
Special thanks go to Ben Dugas of LB Entertainment for the stunning lighting and sound that transformed the space into something truly otherworldly.
To the mesmerizing performers of Rebecca Drew and the performers from the Wild Vines Aerial Team—thank you for weaving beauty and wonder into the night. Your performance was mesmorizing!!
We’re also deeply grateful to our amazing vendors: Woodsy Witch, Witchletoe, and Connected Fungirl Wellness , for adding charm and creativity to our Vendor Village. We deeply appreciate you so much
Thank you to Cypress Haberkern with Bewitched Boards for the delicious and thoughtfully arranged spread of food that kept us nourished while we danced and delighted.
A very special shoutout goes to Melanie M Konnick, who took the lead on planning décor and setup—your vision and artistry helped us step into Faerie from the moment we arrived.
And of course, thank you to Marjorie Carney, our talented photographer, for capturing the spirit of the evening in what we’ve affectionately dubbed our “Pagan Prom Photos.” We’ll be sharing some of the other images she took soon (will add them to this post). We would love to see the night through your eyes as well—please share or tag us in any photos you took!
It was such a gift to see so many new faces and reconnect with old friends. Whether you danced, served, laughed, or simply witnessed—it was your presence that made the night so powerful. Thank you for dreaming this into being with us

​Hello Beloved Community, 

Unfortunately, due to the current Winter Weather Advisory and the hazardous travel conditions expected this evening, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s Full Moon Labyrinth Walk.

We were holding out hope for a change in the weather, but with the forecast predicting significant snow, sleet, and icy conditions, safety must come first.

We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Stay safe and warm through the storm, and we look forward to gathering with you again soon. Our next Full Moon labyrinth walk is on Saturday, March 15th at 7PM

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
