How to create a pagan gathering

Here’s some ideas for creating your own pagan gathering.

1. Choose a date and time. The date and time of the gathering will depend on the availability of the venue and the participants. It is also important to consider the weather conditions, as you don’t want to have the gathering on a day that is too hot or too cold.
2. Find a venue. The venue should be large enough to accommodate the number of people who are expected to attend. It should also be a place where people can feel comfortable and safe. Some possible venues include parks, community centers, and religious institutions.
3. Plan the activities. The activities at the gathering should be relevant to paganism and should be of interest to the participants. Some possible activities include:
   • Discussions about pagan beliefs and practices
   • Mini-workshops on pagan rituals and magic
   • Chanting and Dancing
   • Music and drumming
   • Storytelling
   • Arts and crafts
4. Secure funding. It’s easiest to have a potluck in a public park. If that is not an option, the cost of holding a pagan gathering can still vary depending on the size of the gathering and the activities that are planned. You’ll probably want to start small, but eventually some possible sources of funding can include:
   • Donations from participants
   • Grants from local organizations
   • Fundraisers
5. Promote the gathering. The gathering should be promoted to pagans in the area. This can be done through social media, word-of-mouth, coffe and tea shops, bulletin boards and local publications.
6. On the day of the gathering, be sure to have someone in charge of registration, activities, and food. It is also important to have a contingency plan in case of bad weather.

Here are some additional tips for holding pagan gatherings:

• Be inclusive and welcoming to all pagans, regardless of their beliefs or practices.
• Create a safe and respectful space for everyone to learn and grow.
• Be mindful of the environment and choose a sustainable venue.
• Have fun! Pagan gatherings should be a time to celebrate our shared beliefs and practices.
