July 5 - August 16, 2010.
“Shake your tail feathers, baby!” The Rolling Stones
True pride is elegant and fierce. Sometimes called grace, grandeur or brilliance, Pride calls attention to itself naturally and effortlessly. Healthy Pride is a fire burning bright within us which is uniquely our own. Fed by Passion, Power, Sex and Self, this fire burns clear and bright-illuminating all we do and are. It is Pride which allows us to identify ourselves as Divine. It is Pride which carries our Passion toward Power so it can be made manifest. In Pride we overcome the shame, fear and guilt which keep us mired in self-pity and inaction. In Pride, we draw upon our Sexual nature and deliver it to Self. In Pride we stand tall with clear eyes and magic on our tongues. Pride is a gift of the Peacock Lord. He calls to you now. Will you answer and receive?
Join us as we journey deep into the threefold nature of our Pride. Through reading, discussion, a variety of exercises and ritual magic we will endeavor to allow pride to arise in us and find expression in thought, word and deed. Of course, we will also explore how Pride connects to the other points on our Iron Pentacle- Power, Sex, Self and Passion-informing and shaping the whole while also being fed and fashioned by them. Iron Pentacle is a dynamic magical tool for the empowerment of the Feri Witch and through us, the world we engage with.
IN THE NAME OF PRIDE is a celebration and affirmation of the three-fold spirits we are-Human, Wild and Divine. Expect the workshop to be juicy, surprising and personally revelatory. Expect to work hard and to be delighted as we come to know the Nature of Pride as it is embodied and expressed through a Self aligned with Sex, Passion and Power.

Soul Alignment
July 6 - August 17, 2010
Registration Deadline is June 30th
A seven week online intensive with Karina introducing and delving deep into the three-fold nature of the human spirit. We are a Trinity of Souls but how do we coax these parts of ourselves into communication, alignment and agreement? Here, we will know ourselves as Genius, Wild and Divine and weave our tributaries together into a mighty river of beauty and power.
The three-fold nature of the human spirit is a powerful and ancient wisdom known cross-culturally and is at the core of many of the world's mystical traditions. For our purposes, we will discuss the cultural foundations as well as the ways the three-fold spirit is addressed, aligned and integrated in the Feri Tradition.
Fixed Sliding Scale $88, $106 or $124.
Register by June 30, 2010.
A Road to Faery
July 7 - August 18, 2010
Registration Deadline July 5, 2010.
Who are the Faery? Where do they reside? What is our relationship to/with them? In this seven week online intensive we will explore the realms, races, magics and mystery of the Faery. Through poetry, artwork, music, enchantment, trance journey and wild-walks, we'll come into contact with the Faery "out there" as well as our own Fey Nature.
This intensive includes some required reading--most of which is available for free online. Also required is your willingness to participate in class discussions as well as attend to the assigned work which will include outdoor activities, the setting up of a Faery Altar and your ability to set aside the insistent voice of the Rational Self for a time so as to enjoy the company of the Fey.
Fixed Sliding Scale $88, $106 or $124.
Registration Deadline is July 5, 2010. Register now to reserve your place as class size is limited.

SHE: The Star Goddess and the Mirror of Creation
SHE. Known by a thousand thousand names and yet her name is unspeakable. SHE. The seed pulsing darkly in the timeless, spaceless nothingness preceding the created multiverse. SHE. Out of whose Holy Lust the worlds, the gods, the stars and spirits come forth. SHE. Most Holy and Sacred of Mysteries. SHE. Distant as the furthest galaxy. SHE. Close as breath coming into the body.
In this nine week online intensive we will work toward perceiving and communing with SHE who is the Creatrix, the Great Star Goddess. This intensive will include some required reading as well as exercises, meditations, breath work, movement and ritual all focused on lifting the veils which keep us from knowing HER as God Herself as well as ourselves as Her. As SHE does, we will peer into the Mirror of Creation in order to bring forth our highest vision of our Selves.
When we move toward the Star Goddess, we are taking a larger view than the Earth-based traditions of paganism, moving toward a more Cosmic view of our own origins, magic and power/love.
Class runs from July 12 through September 6, 2010.
Deadline for Registration is July 10, 2010. Register now to hold you place as class size is limited.
Fixed Sliding Scale: $97, $115 or $133
