Workshops

I give a lot of workshops, both within my Grove and at various festivals.  Here you’ll find the videos, handouts, and/or occasionally full sets of notes from those workshops.  Recent workshops are also often posted over on Patreon as paid posts for the first several months following a presentation.

If you’re at a festival or conference where I’m currently presenting, click here to access the relevant workshop materials.

Do you want me to present at your event? I am always developing new presentations, but I’ve also created a menu of workshops you can ask me to present.

Bardic

  • Song Circle & Chant Share
    • Bardic works in paganism have a strong oral tradition, and as we come together it’s important to share these works so that they aren’t lost. Jan will begin by teaching a selection of their favorite pagan chants by rote, and providing lyrics. They will then open the workshop up for others to teach chants. Attendees who would like to teach a chant are encouraged to bring copies of lyrics to share.
    • I have requested some of our pagan elders to come prepared to share older chants
