What is our relation to Mystery and the Mysterious Ones, that is, to Spirit and Spirits? How do we call to them? How do we linger with them, listen to them, love them? How might we embody them, and how might we manifest them in our lives and in the world?
In this series of workshops, we will explore all of these questions. In particular, we will strengthen our skills in working with the Mysterious Ones, whether they be the Spirits of Nature, our Ancestors, or the Gods. The skills that we build here will be relevant both to our personal practice and to community ritual.
In the second workshop, Devotion, we will collectively practice the art of building a relationship with Spirit, through the technologies of prayer, offerings, and altar-building.
The course costs $25 to $50 per workshop, sliding scale. No one will be turned away for lack of funds; scholarships and work exchange are available. We try to balance the need to justly compensate teachers for their labor with our commitment to make our work available to people of all economic levels.

Her witchcraft was birthed by the sweet and wild coastal bays, and is sustained by the cracked concrete and Ailanthus trees of Baltimore. A member of Baltimore Reclaiming since 2012, she loves nothing more than singing and making noise with this rowdy crew.
Pansie (they/him) is a queer Reclaiming witch, drawn to working and playing with the Fae. They have a great love for sharing music, sharing good food, and hearing others' stories... and love to find ways in which everyday practices can become magic.
Zac has been a member of Reclaiming for 8 years, and has spent 4 of those planning rituals for Baltimore Reclaiming and Spiralheart Witchcamp. He is an artist and gardener, and believes in the magic of community as a healing force in the world.
