Practicing Your Craft: Create Your Ethical Code A Creative Workshop and Discuss

In this workshop, we will discuss the different ethics that come with practicing spirituality and living as your authentic self in a tumultuous time. Based on our notes, we will create our own scrolls and posters, making our personal creeds into keepsakes.
We will use questions for discussion to guide our personal statements, such as:

• Is inclusivity at the center of my practice?
• What are the three main tenets of my beliefs?
• What do I hold sacred?
• How do I define magic?
• Do I perform baneful magic, and if so, what are my limitations on that (if any)?
• Who do I do magic/ritual/prayer for?
• What do I consider to be unethical? (Example: interfering with someone else's will.)
• What texts or books influence my work/are sacred to me?

The workshop includes all the tools you will need to create scrolls or posters, such as junk journal components, markers, pens, and scrapbooking supplies. There will also be notebook paper to take notes during discussion.

You are welcome to bring helpful references, such as your own Book of Shadows or journal, tarot to help you divine answers, and books or quotes integral to your practice. Please note that we are discussing very personal topics and beliefs in an inclusive, non-judgemental space in which each participant will work to define their own personal code.
