Children's events Beltane 2010

Children are the future of Paganism and keeping them entertained is as important as sharing our paths with them. Our Children's Coordinator, Katie Shubert has some wonderful plans to keep them occupied all weekend long! If you'd like to teach the kids, please send us an e-mail and let us know what you have in mind! Community@Mountain-mysteries.com

Kids ritual involvement ~ with Thistle
This class is for kids of all ages and parents who wish to get their kids involved in ritual in a safe nurturing way. We allow children to be children and give in ways they know how to.

Thistle runs a small family Coven in the Staunton Waynesboro area called Sacred Earth Family Coven. As a mother of two small children I wanted to worship with others in a child friendly environment. The kids who join help me set up alters and I love the joy that only children can add to our lives and rituals.

Sculpting class ~ Katie Lemich
