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: Reverence

What does it mean to hold something sacred? How do we do that when it seems nothing is sacred to those around us? This week we're digging into Reverence, but around here we don't mean keeping your voice down and behaving properly. True Reverence comes in the deep attention and respect we give to things that matter to us, that generate feelings awe and wonder. In the Charge of the Goddess, reverence is paired with mirth intentionally, one balancing the other. And here we sit at the balance between our secular Halloween celebrations and the absolutely reverent Samhain rituals that happen right next door. Let's talk about what reverence looks like in our practice, and also what it isn't (i.e., fear, obedience, "holiness"). This one is for anybody who has felt awe but didn't know what to do with it, anyone who left a tradition that demanded reverence without even earning respect, and anyone who wants a regular practice but doesn't want it to be stiff and unnatural.

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

Join options (hybrid):

  • In-person: Weavers of the Web, ATC (Lansing)

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.
