Healing the Core Wounds of Humanity
The theme of P-Con 2016 "Change Makers" is a sounding call to all of us to step up and assume the mantle of "an agent of change". But, to be this, we must first be "the agent that was changed". To be a healthy and clear force for positive change, we are challenged to inventory the "dust-bunnies in our soul"....shadowy forces within us that sabotage our success and cloud our visions. In this workshop, Orion will share the "Four Dampers on the Soul's Flame" as qualities of the core wounds in the human spirit. Then, he will lead us in visionary work, moving prayer and simple ritual to bring them out of darkness and transmute them into informed faith, empowered compassion and consecrated power.

Seeking The Seer's Vision
Esoteric tradition often teaches there is a “plan” or “vision” unfolding for the world, and the role of magickal adepts is to help manifest that vision in freedom and love for all. Various seers, bards, prophets, psychics, oracles and artists experience and transmits parts of the vision, adding to the unfolding tapestry to inspire action. We look to the ancient oracles and vision holders from the Sybils and Pythia to Merlin the Prophet. In this vision working, we seek our own vision of the Great Work to share. From the sacred center, we seek our role in a vision of space and time.

Sovereignty of the Spirit: Calling Ourselves Home
The forces of life and the whims of humanity can stretch, lacerate, block and delude us. We can find ourselves being everyone but ourselves. We can become confused, drained, overwhelmed and out of touch with the very inner core that is the source of our aliveness. So, how do we detangle and dis-entrench from this and revitalize ourselves? How do we declare sovereign authority over our own inner spirit? After all "theres only 2 things every witch must know, don't tangle up your lines or contaminate your flow". Orion will share elements of sovereignty, core symptoms of spirit loss, techniques for scanning and processes for calling our power, spirit and soul back into unity within.
