upcoming events

[chelidon]

Some upcoming events at the Casa Chaos Hermitage -- do c'mon by, we'd love to see ya, and these events coming up will be good, juicy work and also much big fun. Drop me a note or comment here if you'd like more information on any of these:


April 24-27: Musical Magickal Restorative: Exploring the Magic of Music and Dance, Song and Silence to Enter into a Dialogue with Divinity
Last year's event just totally rocked, and this year should be even better. Magickal work and play with song, chant, instrument, rhythm, movement, and much, much fun. Coming up fast! There are 3 spots left for last-minute attendees.
Full event announcement here

June 26-29: Feri Camp (FULL, new registration closed)

August 2: Ritual/Magickal Brewing and Vinting (tentative date)
One of the relatively rare Reclaiming events that is NOT alcohol-free. Just in time for Lammas (harvest of fruits and grains), Chelidon and Don will lead a hands-on workshop where we will be learning to create ritual mead, wine, ale, and other ritually charged and crafted natural sacraments (may also include ritual cakes/bread with Claudia Manifest) More details to follow.

October 16-19: Ritual/Theatrical Arts Restorative (tentative date)
Explore and work with the intersection of magick, theatre, ritual, and sacred drama. Morgana from Tejas and Robin Dolan from California, two long-time professional theatre directors and priestesses, along with Chelidon and Claudia Manifest, will facilitate a deeply-woven experiential exploration of the art, craft, and devotion of ritual theatrics and sacred drama. Most good rituals involve good theatre, and most if not all rituals could be more successful with increased skills, attention and focus upon the magickal-theatrical arts and aspects. This Restorative event will be of interest to anyone who desires to build and create effective, deeply-moving rituals or expand their own ritual arts tech and skills, as well as those involved in theatrical or performing arts in any capacity, but it is not necessary to be a "theatre person" to gain full benefit from the workshop.

::bows neatly:: Well and sure, 'tis my aim and desire! :)

[ravenedgewalker.livejournal.com]

see me stick my tongue out at you......

[kitten-goddess.livejournal.com]

Squeeee!!!! Do get some pricing on those, ASAP, so we can determine whether we can attend either or both events.

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Well, the Musical Arts Restorative is, if I remember right, $120-$150, sliding scale, so the Ritual/Theatrical Arts one will probably be similar, though perhaps a bit higher because two of the teachers are flying in from a good ways away (California and Tejas) as that'll affect the event costs somewhat.

The ritual brewing class is so far scheduled to be a one-day hands-on workshop, so significantly lower in cost, though there will probably be some kind of small materials fee (honey, grain, etc).

I'll post more specifics here when I have 'em.

Dontcha ever just have plain old bardics anymore? ;)

[lylythe-strega.livejournal.com]

No. ;>

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

*sniff* :~(



;)

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Well if not, we should. And will. Just have to find a good weekend.

I have an idea, since we're all dyin' to see you, why don't we figure out your schedule, and plan the bardic from there??

[(Anonymous)]

Heh! Well don't I feel special now. :)

My last final exam is Saturday May 10, so I'm free after that. I've got friends visiting on May 19th, then I'm going to WY to help with my Grandma from May 22-28. After that, I'm free until I start clinicals on July 7. After that, I'll be heads down in my rotations for a solid year.

Can you work with that? :)

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

Oops sorry, wasn't logged in. Those two anonymous posts were me, obviously. :)

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Hmm, how about Sat, May 31? We have a class scheduled at the house during the day, but over about 4pm, and some of those folks will likely want to stick around, so if you came by in the afternoon, stayed for the bardic, then we'd get some hang-out time Sunday without you having to worry about bird-sitting and such. Sound doable?

Lemme check with Brian when he gets back from CA, that's the weekend after I get back from WY and my birthday is right around there, so I dunno if we're going to be doing something else or not. :)

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this! I think I may end up busy that weekend, as a couple of friends here want to take me out and do something for my birthday that weekend. Who am I to complain? ;)

Maybe we could just pop up for a visit sometime, bardic or not? I contacted DHMC recently to ask about job shadowing in the lab, in anticipation of me having a resume to send out before too long, so I may get a tour or something up there in May or June.

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Well let us know as far ahead as you can -- we're heading into the busy season, but would always love to see you. Definitely check into DHMC, it's a great place to work!

I was willing to settle for cheap, but FREE is too good to miss...
Yeah, I can work with that!

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'm not cheap! Well, okay, it isn't pretty being easy. ;P

Arrgh, spring is coming to central VT and the service dept. at your local friendly H-D shop is busier than a one-armed frat boy at a circle jerk. I've been working with an ear infection for the last 10 days, just getting hearing back in my left ear the last day or so. My boss was out with a wicked flu all last week so I had to man the service counter on my own and I'm pretty whipped. I haven't had a thing to drink since moving, but I bought a sixer of Magic Hat IPA on the way home - it's been that kind of a week.

So we haven't see youse guys in a bit and your collective Yule prezzies are gathering dust up here in the quarry house and I'm thinking that this weekend might be a good time to deliver them if amenable to you. I've got Sunday off and Susie has Monday off, so we actually have a little free time. Tomorrow is our anniversary, 9 years legal plus 10 years in sin, so we are in the mood to sip a bit of whiskey, crack a few bottles of wine, and do damn little else, preferably in the company of those we hold dear.

Do you remember the barn where we had the reception? It looks like Nick bought a farmhouse up in PA somewhere and that Terri and Thomas will be selling the farm in Frederick and moving to the new place. It's sad, we really had some awesome times there, and the bardic in the barn after the wedding was one to remember. But now that Nick has passed on, maybe it's for the best - there's a lot of pain in the old memories.

At any rate, let me know how things are looking for this weekend and we'll plan from there.

And you, Amy, grab that Brian when he returns and drag him northward. Sounds like he needs friends around and we all need some Amy Time (tm). You too, Beth! And Holly!

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, I get my own (tm), yay. :)

[mglamb.livejournal.com]

Of course you do! And I'll make the same offer I made your sister - bucket o' cheese & chocolate. You can't BUY better than that...

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a deal....

mmmm, cheeeeeze

[threefrognight.livejournal.com]

:( I have to work that Saturday... You'll just have to eat cheese without me.

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Sounds good, and happy anniversary!!! My dad's coming to visit Sat mid-day and we're taking him out to dinner Sat night (partial thank-you for taking F all next week -- Spring Break), but he's heading out after brunch the next day, so Sunday afternoon-evening is doable. I'll probably be doing some necessary land work (have to dig out the barn, we're putting 15 people in it in two weeks), but other than that the day is free...

Glad your ear is feeling better, and hope the week calms down a little...remind me to tell you the car sagas when I see you (all of the household vehicles have been in the shop, and the new car I ordered three months ago finally arrrived at the dealership....the very same day they issued a recall/stop-sale on it ;-p

[mglamb.livejournal.com]

Sunday afternoon sounds best, I'll prolly be dripping and spent after work Saturday and you just don't need to deal with that...

Round up Angelica and anyone else available and let's do it.

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

Oh, and Dr Marc, why does this make me think of you? ;)
