• Queering Your Craft

    Foraged Spaces 6 Clusters Ct, Columbia, SC, United States

    This FREE community group begins in 2025 and will meet at Foraged Spaces LLC at 6 Clusters Ct, Columbia, SC (near Ollie's in between St. Andrews & Bush River). Are you a queer pagan and/or witch in the area? Would you like to come together to learn how to make your own personal path more inclusive, and be supported as you do so? Maybe you've done the work to create a more inclusive practice and want to share what you know with your community. Please join us! What do I mean when I say "Queering Your Craft"?Myself and Greenwild Spiritual Fellowship feel strongly about making language and practice more inclusive, and feel that a lot of the books and practices out in the world today are very Goddess, or God/Goddess oriented. We leave out the queer stories of the godds, and simply make do with a very binary gender view on the deities, which is reflected in our practices. How do we queer our language around deities? How do we queer our rituals, spells, practices? Let's work on this together! This community group is led by Hearthkeeper Mela Borawski, queer & polyamorous pagan witch of the Greenwild Spiritual Fellowship / Awen Grove covenstead. This is an open group, so it does not matter what your personal pagan and/or witchcraft path may be (or if you aren't sure and you are searching) as all respectful paths and folx are welcome here. We all have something to learn from each other. Mela's goal is that this becomes a monthly or bi-monthly community group, but let's see if there's interest!

  • Descent to the Underworld | Virtual Shadow Work Group

    Zoom

    FREE VIRTUAL COMMUNITY SHADOW WORK GROUP - Meeting the last Friday of every month - starting in January 2025 we will meet virtually every other month, and in person the months in between. VIRTUAL MONTHSJanuary, March, May, July, September Register at the link provided with your email ((If you are new, we always give a brief introduction to shadow work, so all levels of knowledge and experience are welcome. If you've heard of the term, or have wanted to learn more about shadow work, please feel free to join us!)) Whether you're thinking about the opportunity to delve into shadow work, choosing to already engage in shadow work, or the world is "giving" you the opportunity to take a walk into the underworld whether you like it or not, having a community supporting you along the path is vital. This small group's goal is to provide a safe and sacred space where we will descend together and explore the shadows we encounter along the way. Facilitators are trained and experienced in a variety of practical and experiential methods and modalities to guide you to a deeper awareness of who you are at your most authentic core level, how to face your shadows and how to decide whether to integrate, release or accept the shadows you find along the way. There is absolutely nothing like having a compassionate community beside you during this intense and deeply emotional self-reflection work. A community is a cauldron where the medicine of transformation can occur - often more rapidly than going it alone. This group's intention is to provide...- An open, accepting and sacred space for authentic discussion.- Resources, including journaling prompts and monthly assignments to assist you to delve deeper than surface level into your shadow.- Guidance and encouragement as we descend into the underworld together.- Opportunity to learn and use healing modalities and tools such as EFT (tapping), meditation, intuition, archetypal studies, spiritual art techniques, journaling, dreamwork, oracle/tarot readings & ritual.- Introduction to energies to support your process including Ascended Masters, Angels & Gods & Goddesses of the Underworld such as Persephone. This is an interfaith healing group and ALL are welcome, though members should be aware that our regular facilitators come from an earth-centered, pagan world view and ask that you be open to learning other holistic and metaphysical concepts from various viewpoints and spiritualities. This support group is FREE but donations welcome; all donations for this event are given to the nonprofit Greenwild Spiritual Fellowship. You may use Paypal (paypal.me/3RaysofLight), Venmo (@melaborawski) or CashApp ($PBorawski).
