Greetings all,

We who proudly call ourselves Activists and Witches, invite you to join us this summer as we journey between the worlds of magic and action. Are you ready to turn the world in which you dwell into the world in which you dream?
Do you dare to walk the pentacle of the Great Turning? A pentacle found deep within the Earth, forged in the mists of fire and ice, then take this journey with us at this year's Free Activist WitchCamp! We are so pleased to announce that this year's camp will be held at Wolf Creek Radical Faeries Sanctuary in Oregon,July 20-26. Immediately following camp is a permaculture and sustainable skills share-- read below for more details.

Every moon cycle, every sun cycle, every cycle of life there is death, compost, rot. With each cycle new dreams are born as the old decompose, re-integrating into the earth. We embrace these spiraling cycles, and work them through our bodies as pentacles, ever-turning, gaining momentum with the earth from night round until morning, from winter to spring to harvest. We turn with these cycles; from desire, to surrender, surrender to transformation, transformation to solidarity, solidarity to manifestation, and integrate them into our work as we step out further into the world...

We come together as allies, grounded with our love for the earth, who share the desire to create a shift.

We work magic to transform loss, fear, despair, powerlessness,hopelessness that has become so present in our world, into abundance,safety, love, sustainable community and interdependence.
Reclaiming WitchCamps are intensive retreats for the study of magic and ritual for all levels of experience. We come to learn and practice these skills, working with the elements of nature, music, movement, and art, group process and shared decision making, and the mythological and historical framework of the Goddess Tradition. Throughout the week we will learn and enrich our magical skills through daily paths, affinity groups,optional offerings, and community rituals.

o Paths take place for several hours each day and offer the chance to more deeply explore the theme of camp, how to apply the tools of magical transformation to personal healing and empowerment, healing issues surrounding leadership and power, or taking the craft out into the world (through magical activism, by creating public rituals, in ongoing groups, etc.). Paths are led by Reclaiming Teachers and Community Members selected in advance by the Organizing cell. This years teaching team includes: Jeffery Alphonsus Mooney, Laura Maples,Riyanna, Jude Elf,Thursday, Scarecrow, Mel, Bree, Heather.
o Optional Offerings are a time for anyone in the community to share a skill or project. If you have an optional offering, come to camp prepared and sign up when you arrive.
o Affinity groups are a time and place to connect with others and give and receive support. Affinity groups will form at the beginning of camp.
o Camp rituals engage the whole camp in the magic of ecstatic ritual grounded in the theme. Together we'll stir the cauldron, and step into the transformation.
