Ancestral Land Acknowledgment
As a pagan public ritual group, we build relationships within our community and with the earth itself. In order to further our right relationship with the land and the people who have tended and held it sacred from time immemorial, we acknowledge that we are holding ritual on the ancestral lands of the Nacotchtank, Pamunkey, Piscataway, Powhatan, Saponi, Seneca, Tauxenent, Tutelo and others whose names we may not yet know and are committed to learning. We pay respects to their elders past and present and honor their truths.
This statement is a beginning. It may evolve over time as we learn. Hopefully, it is a first step towards building relationships with the indigenous peoples of this area where and when we can uplift and support them within the scope of our own mission.
2024 Annual Intent
Connect DC provides a spiritual home where the community can come together to honor and celebrate the cycles of nature and life.
This year, we strengthen our connections to ourselves and our communities to live more fully in the living world.
2024 April Full MoonMonday, April 22, 2024 - 7:00pmTemple and Labyrinth opens at 7:00pm Please plan to arrive before 7:30pm. Join us as we call on the power of the full moon to open our senses, look into the depths of the waters, and practice our scrying skills. Scrying is a method of divination in which we go into a state of self-induced altered consciousness and gaze into a medium, such as water or flame, to receive messages from our gods and helping spirits.
