Laura Tempest Zakroff and Nathaniel Johnstone are offering two classes/events for one night only. You can choose to purchase them individually or bundle them together and save. The bundle price has an early bird special of $65 and this will go up Oct 14 to $75.

7:00-8:00PM: Activating The Witch's Body
In this body-focused workshop, we will be exploring the 5 symbolic systems of Witch's Anatomy (Lungs, Heart, Serpent, Bones, Weaver) through movement so that you can animate your magical practice in new and simple but effective ways - for ritual, spellcraft, divination and beyond. While this is a movement-oriented class, it is not a "dance" heavy experience and is accessible to all genders, ages, body types, and abilities.

8:00-8:30PM: Break

8:30-9:30PM: Hekate at the Crossroads ritual
In honor of the goddess Hekate, we shall meet at the Crossroads, engaging in a ritual that combines live music, sacred dance, and embodied movement to allow us to see where we have come from, where we are at, and where we are going- individually and as a community. Tempest and Nathaniel Johnstone will present an ecstatic rite that fuses together elements of Modern Traditional Witchcraft, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Dance, Inspired World Music, and Ritual Performance. You will be welcomed to participate at your own level of comfort, no dance or ritual experience necessary.

Nathaniel Johnstone is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter who sings about humanity, myth and whimsy. His work includes the transhumanist fantasy The Mother Matrix and the playfully audacious The Dubious Hat and Other Tales of Ineffable Horror. Steampunk-Music.com praises his “technical dexterity and emotional expressiveness” as he blends inspiration from metal, jazz, punk, folk, rock, and blues from all over the world. The result is a unique, vibrant and multicultural sound that transcends boundaries of genre or theme. Nathaniel cheekily calls himself “polybanderous”, reflected in his lengthy history performing on stage with any singer, musician, dancer and artist who loves music and mayhem as much as he does. http://www.nathanieljohnstone.com
