Everyone in Pagan and Wiccan traditions thinks of the Elements - earth, air, fire, water, spirit - differently. We all seem to work with the Elements in different ways.
•What associations does each of us make to the Elements?
•Do we have an affinity for one or more of the Elements?
•How do we experience and work with ...the Elements in our everyday lives?
Join us at Beans, Leaves, and Deities for a multi-tradition, multi-level discussion of the Elements led by Mary Moonstar and Taliesin. FMI on our guests please visit their website: Elements of Magical Living
The Beans, Leave & Deities coffee chats are held the second Saturday of the month from September to April.

January 9th - Topic: healing
Join us for the January coffee talk:
When: January 9th, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Where: The Portland New Church 302 Stevens Avenue Portland, ME
Topic: healing
For many pagans healing, ourselves and others, is a part of our spiritual practice. Healing can take many forms. ‘Sending healing thoughts your way!’ is a fairly common response to being told a friend or family member is unwell. Most of us have at one time or another made use of the alternative healing arts ranging from acupuncture to herbalism to reiki. In addition, some of us are practitioners of various alternative healing techniques. Join us of a broad discussion of how healing can be a part of personal spiritual practice. Share your personal experiences and favorite techniques. We hope to see you there.

How do you welcome back the light? Is it through a special ritual? Do you (and/or your family) engage in any craft making sessions? Join us as we discuss ways to celebrate this Turn of The Wheel.
Special Notes:
In an effort to facilitate an orderly set up for our fundraiser that evening, we will be concluding the coffee talk session at 4pm.

Our Fourth Year Begins!
Come one, come all and join us as Beans, Leaves and Deities kicks off its 2009-2010 season!! Once again, we will be doing an opening ritual in order to “light the hearth” before engaging in the first topic of our FOURTH year: Storytelling.
Storytelling is and always has been an excellent way to communicate family lore, impart a life lesson or just plain entertain. Do you have a favorite story that you love to tell over and over again? Was there someone/something that you heard or read that struck a chord? Is your preference for stories oral or written? Both?
We invite you to comegather round the hearth to listen and bring a favorite tale or two to share. It can be a favorite childhood story, a retelling of an ancient myth, or perhaps a tale of your own experience in which you learned a valuable lesson. No need to memorize your tale, reading from a book is perfectly okay!
