Pagan Leadership Skills Conference - Part 1

Sunday night I got in from the 4-day NPLSC in Richmond, VA. I can't even begin to write about it in a way that will do justice to the experience. I can honestly say I've never learned so many useful skills for leadership and life within a short amount of time. The speakers were incredible, the rituals were transforming, and the bonds formed will remain strong.

We opened with a dedication ritual honoring the apple and orchard Goddess Pomona, the matron diety of the conference. With Pomona, we reached within ourselves to plant the seeds of leadership and community. Mead created from apples blessed from the previous years conference sealed our libation and set the way for an enriching four days.

Selena Fox and Drema Baker opened with a presentation on Paganism from the last 10 years. We discussed the fight for religious freedom and liberty and challenges that we'll be faced in the next ten years to come.
