SHOW YOURSELF OFF – bring your business cards, brochures, fliers, etc. If you are part of a local group or organization, a local Pagan business person, artisan, or just a general awesome person, we’d love to learn more! Please bring any fliers or other goodies to leave on our information table so people can learn more about you/your group/your business!
MEDITATION ROOM – open throughout the event, come and go as you please. A quiet space set aside for meditation and contemplation. Take a moment to enjoy the magic of the season!
ALTAR – Together we will all build a beautiful, community altar to create holy space throughout the evening. You are invited to bring your favorite seasonal items and altar decorations. Offerings will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own as well.
GIFT EXCHANGE – If you are interested in participating in a gift exchange, please bring one or two wrapped, gently used Pagan items to pass onto someone else in the community. NO GAG GIFTS. NO NEW GIFTS.

DIVINATION - many thanks to our guest readers who are volunteering their services during this event! More info TBD.
Please share this event far and wide – repost on FB, add to your forums, yahoo groups, share with your friends and family. ALL are welcome! There will be no child-specific activities, but children and families are welcome. You do not need to be a Pagan to attend this event – just be a friendly person who would like to gather in the spirit of community.
