Upcoming Events

Beltane - Planting Seeds of Change

Start: Friday April 30, 3:00 PM EST

End: Sunday May 2, 3:00 PM EST

Location: Zoom!

what to bring:

  • spare craft supplies: old bits of ribbon, beads, sparkly things, etc. (optional)
  • Goodie Box contents (TBA)

Join us as we gather to welcome the summer and celebrate Beltane virtually. Our virtual Beltane’s theme this year is creating the world as we want it to be. We will use community, our “lead” and grief, fertility, maypole raising, seed planting and seed stone raising to create the world we envision, and create a stable and secure place for that world to grow into being. Activities of crafts, workshops, cooking, games, and ceremony will connect our tribe virtually as we head into the summer months.

News and Updates

Call for Moon Services

If you missed it, the last couple moon services (run by Skramma and Shannon respectively) were a blast! To encourage future signups, we have embraced technology and made a fancy sign-up form. If you've got an idea and want to flesh it out, we'd love to hear from you!

SIGN UP

Facebook Alternatives Survey

Hey guys, we know not everyone uses Facebook regularly, so we're trying to come up with alternative ways for SCC members to connect with the community. If you could take a sec totell us what else (besides Facebook) you use to keep up with friends from a distance, we'd really appreciate it!

SURVEY

Lughnasadh Site Recon

Last week Kate and John went to scout out a potential site for an in-person, socially-distanced Lughnasadh. We need a space big enough to keep all the camping "pods" separate, and boy does this place have SPACE!

Gifford Pinchot State Park is a 2,338-acre full-service park in York County, PA. The park offers campgrounds, RV hookups, and cottage rentals, and features a reclaimed farm fields and wooded hillsides surrounding the massive 340-acre Pinchot Lake. 

The situation is still evolving. As we get closer to the date, we'll be consulting the the federal and PA guidelines, as well as our own Health and Safety Committee. The plan might change a lot by the time Lugh rolls around; we will keep you posted, here and on Facebook. Things are still very tentative, but this is an exciting step!

Saga of the Website

The website revamp has BEGUN in earnest! We've updated the look and feel of the site, added new pages, and (hopefully) made the site easier to navigate. Feel free to take a look around and share your thoughts.

That said, there's still a LOT left to do. If you'd like to participate in our (totally official) Adopt-A-Page Program, message or email Avery.
