With this event, we bring together
brothers and sisters of ALL indigenous, Earth-based, and nature
centered polytheistic beliefs in pride and celebration, as well as
those who support arts, music, ceremony, theater and dance within
the Interfaith Pagan Community. In doing so, we unite in our message
to the world that we must live together in love and tolerance, as
opposed to fear and misunderstanding, as voices in the great choir
of Spirit.
We encourage diversity, tolerance, safety, and respect for all
participants and audience members. This is a family-friendly event,
and children are encouraged to participate.
