Join us in-person or online for our weekly Community Night: an open, cross-tradition discussion space where we learn, share, and build community together. We gather every Wednesday evening for discussion, meditation, ritual nights, and more, with time to socialize before and after. 

Schedule:

We start at 6:00pm for casual social time, then at 6:30pm we begin the main discussion (and stream it live on YouTube). After the formal portion ends, we usually keep the Zoom call open a bit longer for chatting as folks head out.

This week's topic: Altars

It's one of the first things anybody tells you to do on this path: "Set up an altar." But what does that even mean? How do you do it? In this discussion, we're getting practical about one of the most foundational tools in spiritual practice. We'll look at altars as spiritual technology: how they accumulate power through use, how we set them up in different traditions, and what makes a good altar versus a cluttered flat surface with a candle. We'll also explore permanent vs. portable setups, deity shrines vs. working magickal altars, the basics of elemental representation, and where the altar lives in ritual space. Whether you've never built an altar or you have a whole dedicated ritual room, come ready to think about what your altar can do better for you!

Format: discussion. You're welcome to participate as a skeptic, a master, or a curious seeker.

Join options (hybrid):

  • In-person: Weavers of the Web, ATC (Lansing)
  • Online: Join via Zoom for interaction, or via YouTube to watch

What to bring (optional but helpful): a notebook, water, and a grounded body. If you're joining from home, set up a cozy ritual space (with candles, incense, etc.) so you can drop into the practice more easily.
