Yoga for YOU!~ Presented by Lady Arianhwen
Gentle raja yoga class for all levels. Bring a towel or mat, and an open heart. Namaste!.
About Lady Arianhwen: Lady Arianhwen of Witch & Famous coven has been practicing yoga for five years. She has taught various subjects from computer technology, music, and Wicca to various age groups and really enjoys sharing knowledge and information with others. At the recommendation of a friend, she decided to obtain her yoga instructor certification through The Chopra Center in California this last year. She is also a certified instructor of Primordial Sound Meditation through The Chopra Center and will be pursuing her Perfect Health (Ayurveda) certification as well in 2017. Completion of all three certifications will culminate in a Vedic Master designation. In terms of yoga, Lady Arianhwen sees yoga as more than just postures for improving physical health, although it improves the three markers for aging: balance, flexibility and strength. She understands yoga as a union of body, mind and spirit, enhancing each practitioner’s life as a whole.
Our Lady Calls – Spirit Journey~ Presented by Dayan Martinez, Pagan Environmental Alliance
Through mythic story-telling and a guided meditation/journey we’ll come into contact with the Spirit of the Land of Florida, an equally ancient and youthful Goddess of the Wilderness and the Everglades ecosystem. Experiences will be shared by the willing to weave together our understanding of Our Lady of the Land of Many Waters.
About Dayan Martinez: I’ve been pagan for 12 years, and claim nothing special beyond boundless curiosity and daring to try out new things. I strongly believe that experience is far more important than reality, but I will not hesitate to find inspiration and a solid foundation in modern science. I hold a Bachelor’s in Anthropology (with special focus on the psychology of religion) and teach science to a gaggle of inquisitive elementary school kids, where my rants are often about the beauty and grandeur of our Mother Earth.

Join us at the bank of the Oleta River as we open the faery well, raise the green mist, and align the three flames of our soul! We will start by introducing the principles and language of Faery Seership, and soon you will feel the connection and magick of the Faery Seers.

The Healing Powers of Yuletide Holly and Mistletoe~ Presented by Rayna Templebee
Two of the best known plants associated with Yule are mistletoe and holly. Both have been sacred and powerful herbs to people of many cultures. This workshop will work with the plant devas and the properties of the plants themselves to create a healing spell that can help reduce stress and restore vitality. Our native holly and mistletoe evergreens are a great way to learn about the green energy of Florida at Yuletide.

Mama Gina’s Concert and Workshop: Introduction to the Cube of Space~ Presented by Mama Gina
One popular theory suggests that it takes about 10,000 hours of study and application to master a subject. If that is true, then we are masters of our own creations. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we define, direct, build and destroy our own creations – our own lives – every moment of every day. What are we creating and how are we doing it? Are we mindful and aware? Are we bumbling along and doing what we have always done? Through study of a creation story, such as the Sepher Yetzirah, and the construct born of that story – The Cube of Space – we can apply the principals learned in a very direct, mindful and practical way to our own creations and to our own lives. Please bring a notebook, pen, and a comfy chair or cushion, and join Mama Gina as she describes her own journey and study of the Cube of Space, and shares practical application of some of the primary concepts of the Cube to conscious creation.
About Mama Gina Mama Gina, along with her alter-ego Nine Toes the Bard, travels the country, strumming 12 string acoustic, tapping frame drum and djembe, singing truth with a side of blues, and sharing the mysteries that the Gods, Goddesses and other extraordinary souls whisper in her ear.
With four – count ’em 1, 2, 3, 4 – CDs under her belt, she’s really listening to those Gods and Goddesses, and receiving airplay on music podcasts and radio within and beyond the Pagan realm, including, International Pagan Radio, Ravengrove Radio, Wyldwood Radio, Murphys Magic Mess onKZUM.org in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Ragin Pagans Pagan Sunrise and Jerry Wallers Biscuits, Bacon n BLUES, both on WKRP in Orlando, Florida, and Bree Nobles Women of Substance Radio in California, where she won the distinction of having her song “Weed” place in the top 20 playlist for all of 2015.
Mama Gina will be sharing songs from her previous endeavors, as well as highlighting some new, zany songs from her upcoming “Nine Toes the Bard” CD – due out Spring 2017. Bring your friends and family! Bring your shakes, rattles and drums! Get ready to sing along! Come celebrate the Bard!
