What have you experienced? What do you know that
you know? What do you sense and what do you
think? How is it the same, or different, for you
as an individual, a part of community, a being
in the world? What, then, do you do, believe,
and value? And what preconceived notions, which
no longer apply, are operating? What questions
inform your curiosity? How can you use your
insight, your questions and your scholarship to
be of service?
You will be asked to raise up the skin, the
muscles, the blood and the bones of your true
self, and to reflect carefully on your thoughts,
your experiences, your feelings, your traditions
and your communities. Your ruminations will be
expressed in an academically credible way that
helps equip you for being Pagan clergy.

A survey course exploring various issues of Pagan
parenting and education, the ways in which children
are incorporated into Pagan communities across
traditions, and how this next generation is shaping
(or re-shaping) Paganism. The course is primarily
designed for Pagan parents and other community
leaders who are responsible for or interested in
facilitating the participation of children in Pagan
spiritual life. While the course is not specifically
designed for counseling professionals, those who are
engaged in pastoral counseling of Pagan families may
also find the class informative.
