Meet the Members of CTC
CTC meets weekly on Sunday afternoons, 1:30-3:30 at Eno River UU Fellowship for Learning
Circles. Learning Circles are workshops where we share, teach and learn from one another.
Topics vary but are related to Wicca, Paganism and other alternative spiritual beliefs.
All Learning Circles are held in room 7 of the CARE building unless otherwise posted on site
at ERUUF or listed in the Newsletter or here on the Web.
January 18: Meeting the Goddesses: Aphrodite Facilitated by Cynthia Campbell. During this series we will go beyond the archetypes of Maiden, Mother, and Crone to meet individual godesses of various cultures, look at the history of each, and learn (to the best of available knowledge) how each was actually worshipped by her first followers. Today we will focus on Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire.

Imbolc. February 1: No Learning Circle. Join CTC for Imbolc. Facilitated by Lance. For more information, click on Wheel of the Year Celebrations above.
February 8: Creating Sacred Space I: Casting Circle Facilitated by Dick. Being an examination of some of the forms of invoking the metaphor of the directions and elements; casting the circle and invoking the Divine. Part I: Casting Circle and warding the space.
February 15: Living the Greek Myth Facilitated by Sharon. We will look at 4 responses to our childhood environment through the stories of the Greek gods. It is my belief that these were teaching tools, much like the parables of Jesus and that we can learn much about ourselves when we see our own lives through the lens of mythology. We will ask ourselves, "Am I my mother's child or my fahters?" I am my father's daughter, a real Daddy's girl--like Athena, my adult identity thus far sprang fully formed from my father's ideals--just as Athena sprang full grown from Zeus's head. Let's explore what the Greeks have to say to us in these myths for modern times.
February 22: Creating Sacred Space II: Directions & Elements Facilitated by Dick. Being an examination of some of the forms of invoking the metaphor of the directions and elements; casting the circle and invoking the Divine. Part II: Calling the Directions and Elements.
February 29: Magikal Musik Facilitated by Amy. From the ancients to the moderns, music has been used in spiritual work. From chants in rituals to drum circles around fires, connecting to the divine by music is as old as the goddess.
March 7: Creating Sacred Space III: Invoking the Divine Facilitated by Dick. Being an examination of some of the forms of invoking the metaphor of the directions and elements; casting the circle and invoking the Divine.
