SpiralHeart seeks Ritual Arc Teams and a Co-facilitator for the Dispelling White Supremacy Path for camp 2021
Hi Beloved Community,
We are looking towards planning our annual summer intensive for SpiralHeart camp 2021. Camp is currently scheduled for July 12 – 18, with a pre-camp organizer day on July 11. At this time, we are selecting up to 5 additional members for our Ritual Arc Team (lovingly called RATs) and 1 co-facilitator for the Dispelling White Supremacy Path. If you feel called to either of these roles, please see below to apply! Applications are due by October 21, 2020 at 11:59 pm Eastern.
Co-Facilitate a Path with a Guest Mentor
(Here is the application to join the SH 2021 Path Facilitation team.)
Description & Pre-requisites
Each year we invite two guest mentors to help guide us in expanding our ritual and community skills. These mentors each pair with one or two local community members to facilitate a path at camp, designed around a particular skill set.
Path facilitators should have attended at least one Reclaiming Witchcamp. It is recommended for path facilitators to have taken the 5 Reclaiming Core Classes, and it is not a requirement. (The Reclaiming Core classes are Elements of Magic, Iron Pentacle, Rites of Passage, Pentacle of Pearl, and Community.)
As a camper-led camp, Spiralheart is dedicated to supporting those in our community who desire to hone their skills and step into leadership. We believe a strong vibrant community requires reciprocity. We hold an expectation that those who co-facilitate a mentor-led path will continue to take on leadership roles within Spiralheart, beyond the year of their mentorship. While all applicants will be considered, weight will be given to those who plan to return and use their expanded skills to facilitate paths, or otherwise help craft the arc of witchcamp and build community in the future.
Selections will be made at our November community meeting scheduled for Nov. 21-22, 2020.
