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: Diversity

We're talking about religious diversity this week, the wide field of beliefs and practices that surrounds us and informs our own spirituality. We'll look at how traditions have borrowed, blended, and clashed across thousands of years, from Romans taking on Greek gods to the crusades and the Burning Times, and how the last fifty years of an ever more interconnected world has opened the door to more paths than ever. We'll look at how much variation lives within Wicca alone, with variations in quarters, ritual rules and etiquette. Gatekeeping over things like initiation, lineage, or book learning only carves chasms between us, and our community needs bridges now more than ever. Monotheism and polytheism, solitary and coven practice, ours and theirs: let's find the middle ground and learn how broadening our view helps to clarify our own spirituality.

Format: DISCUSSION. You're welcome to attend no matter your path or level.

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.
