Experts estimate that there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, and at least that many stars in our own galaxy alone. Think about that for a second. That's a lot of planets!
How could humans be the only sentient race in the entire universe? We all have past lives. It is not at all inconceivable that, in such a gigantic universe, that some of them have not been on Earth.
Have you ever felt different, like you just don’t belong on this planet? Do you feel like an old soul, homesick for a place you can’t name or only partially remember? Do you have an insatiable thirst for hidden knowledge, or an instinctual knowledge of metaphysics and healing? Do you feel a strong connection to the stars and galaxies, astrology, and find yourself interested in the idea of higher dimensional mindsets? You may be a Starseed! Join me as we embark on a journey of self-discovery, while I introduce what exactly a Starseed is, and how to discover your Starseed origin through meditation and energy work!

In celebration of Indigenous People's Day we will do ceremony (remotely) to honor some of the great indigenous women leaders of the Algonquins, a large cultural group to whom our own Esopus Munsee / Delaware belong. In this workshop, we will discuss and honor Algonquin "Sunkskwa" (female leaders), especially Kingston's famed Mama Nuchwe. In addition, we will remember a host of female sachems such as Wawamis and Manveht, both of whom signed the treaty of New Paltz; Witamoo, Queen of New England who commanded 300 warriors; Nipapoa ("Hidden Moon") of Saugerties; Magnus Sunksquaw of the Narragansett who fought against Major Talbot in the battle of Taunton, Mass; and many many others. We will also discuss plans for a celebration of women leaders this January, which will mark the 340th anniversary of Mama Nuchwe’s signing of the historic Niccols Treaty with England, a document which ultimately averted warfare. This workshop combines ceremonial participation, guided meditation, multi-media presentations, stories, native education, and much more, a timely and powerful experience.

The beings known as "familiars" serve as partners in magic in addition to providing comfort, companionship, and inspiration. The concept of the familiar is ancient, international, and perhaps never as needed as now. Familiars come in many forms - from living companions such as cats, dogs, and birds to soul and spirit allies, which may take any form. This new workshop, presented here for the first time, explores familiars and how to work with them. How do you find a familiar? How do you know if you already have a familiar? What magic can you and your familiar share? All this and more will be discussed. Bring your questions. This class is suitable for novices, as well as adepts. No previous spellcasting experience necessary. Judika is happy to answer general spellcasting and spirit-working questions, too.

Most people interested in the Tarot are familiar with the Rider Waite and its adaptations that first appeared in the early 20th century, but Tarot’s original deck remains the Tarot de Marseille. In fact, the first Marseille deck preceded the Rider-Waite-Smith and Crowley’s Thoth by more than 250 years. It’s the mother of all decks – not flashy or whimsical mind you – but the foundation of all interpretations that followed, and the Marseille decks are definitely experiencing a resurgence. Join Mirabai Tarot/I Ching reader Timothy Liu as he delves into the power of Marseille-style decks, which have recently become his cards of choice for their uncanny amplitude. The Marseille Tarot doesn’t pussyfoot around: it’s grounded, no nonsense and gets straight to the point. This workshop will look at the history of Marseille decks from 1650 to the present, observing how their wondrous differences evolved, paying particular attention to decks by Noblet (1650), Conver (1760), Jodorowsky (1997) and Reynaud (2017). While some readers only use the Marseille’s Major Arcana, many incorporate the 56 pip/royal cards from the Minor Arcana, and we will learn how to read the pip cards in terms of their suits and numerological yin/yang. Can you get by without ever experiencing the Marseille? Maybe, but understanding the seminal roots of the Tarot will certainly enhance and strengthen your reading abilities, just as a grounding in classical music has helped shape the work of many contemporary musical artists. All experience levels are welcome.

Bio: Timothy Liu is a reader of occult esoterica, giving tarot and I Ching readings at Mirabai of Woodstock and the Omega Institute (Rhinebeck, NY). He has also published twelve books of poems, garnering awards from PEN America, the Poetry Society of America, and Publishers Weekly. He divides his time between Manhattan and Woodstock, NY.

There are visitations from the spirit world that bring us peace and comfort, but sometimes specters enter our spaces uninvited and that can be intrusive. So, how do we distinguish between an unwanted spiritual presence and the stuck energy we feel from bad feng shui or a long-forgotten trauma? Why are they attaching themselves to your space? Can spirits ever follow you or are they tethered to one spot? Most importantly how do we help lingering spirits move on if they are feeling intrusive? Often these spirits are trapped between worlds, finding it difficult to transition. In this workshop, A.C. will draw upon her extensive work with spirits to illustrate and explain how you can identify if a spirit is present, how to communicate with it from this plane and how to encourage its departure. She will also suggest tools for calming the atmosphere in your home using simple elements. Come join her for a lively afternoon to raise your spirit!

We all have a gift of knowing. An inner wisdom that is ingrained in our being. Some are very intuitive and have gifts that they are just learning to harness. Many others are uncertain and go against their intuition because they do not trust the answers that they are receiving. As a result, they go through life lessons that could have been avoided. Dowsing with a pendulum is a powerful tool that can help you trust your guidance with crystal clear clarity. It's a practice that can be applied to all areas of your life. Join Jenn Bergeron for a workshop that will help you tap into your intuition and trust your guidance using dowsing. Jenn will first lead you through a meditation to summon our intuitive selves and then demonstrate techniques to help you develop a deeper understanding of how to take your intuition to another level. Please bring a pendulum of your choosing to the workshop.
