Pagan Community Potluck: Cozy Winter Gathering

Are you looking to connect with other pagans and polytheists in the area during the quieter winter season? This cozy winter potluck is a relaxed way to meet friendly people and spend an afternoon in good company.

This gathering is part of a Winter Hearth series—small, low-key community dinners held a few times through the winter. Each gathering stands on its own, and is designed to be warm, intimate, and low-pressure. You can drop in whether you’re brand new to pagan community or have been practicing for years.

We’ll gather indoors in the backroom of Balance Mind Body Soul in Miller Place, a wonderful, pagan-friendly shop opening its space to us for the afternoon.

Bring a dish to share (or just yourself!) and enjoy an afternoon of food, conversation, and community.

When: Sunday, January 11, 3–6:30 PM
Where: Balance Mind Body Soul, 929 NY-25A, Miller Place, NY

What the afternoon will look like
This is a relaxed gathering to get to know each other.
We’ll start by sharing a potluck-style meal and informal conversation. Around 4 PM, we’ll have a welcome and a short, guided seasonal hearth conversation designed to work well for a small group, about 20 minutes. The theme for this session is Hearth and Shelter. Sharing is optional, and listening is always welcome.
Afterward, the afternoon will continue informally with conversation, tea, and dessert.

Who this is for
Pagans and polytheists of any path
Newcomers and longtime practitioners
Those looking for an intimate, human-scale winter gathering
