Workshops & Classes

AUTHOR ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

If you would like to schedule me for a book signing, workshop, or seminar by all means e-mail me at annmoura@annmourasgarden.com and we can work out the details. In 2008 I will be focusing on writing and doing minimal events which I will post. On this page I have included a few photos from previous events and I will be posting more events for 2008 as plans are confirmed.

I had a terrific time at Circle Sanctuary's Beltane Festival in May 2005, but as you can see it was a pretty chilly May Day in Barneveld, Wisconsin. That night there were snow flurries! Selena Fox throws a terrific celebration, however, and everyone had fun despite the cold weather.

2008 EVENTS

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2008 -- GREEN SONG GROVE SAMHAIN

I will do a Question & Answer workshop and sign books at the Green Song Grove Samhain celebration and gathering in Boyd Hill Park (2900 31st Street South in St Petersburg, FL). While the event is from Friday thru Sunday, I will only be there on Saturday, so come with questions--what is it you have always wanted to know or need some pointers on? Interested in spirit communication, astral travel, crystal healing, dream interpretation, spell casting, divination techniques? YOU pick the subject or question, and we will talk about it! This site is reserved for Green Song Grove, so it is a safe and comfortable place with an air conditioned hall for meals and some workshops, plus other open air halls (screened and with ceiling fans) in the woods for a variety of workshops. The facilities include hot showers, and there will be lots of vendors, an auction, and a Main Ritual Saturday night. To get to the park--travelling from the North (Tampa) on I-275: Take the 22nd Ave. S. exit; turn East onto 22nd Ave. S; then South on 31st St. S. The entrance to the Park will be approximately 200 feet on your left. Coming from the South (Sarasota) on I-275: Take the 26th Ave. S. exit; turn south onto 31st St. S. and you will see the entrance to the park on your left. Contact Green Song Grove at PO Box 55253, St. Petersburg, FL 33732-5253; Phone: (727) 504-9370.

NOVEMBER 6 - 9, 2008 -- FLORIDA PAGAN GATHERING SAMHAIN

I will be presenting workshops, signing books, and vending my books, my handcrafted gemstone jewelry, and some other goodies. This is held at a beautiful location in the Ocala National Forest next to a scenic lake. Lots of open space with vendors, buildings, cabins, tenting, facilities, and wildlife make it an ideal site.

CYMRY CON 2006

I had the pleasure of sharing a cottage with British author and scholar, Caitlin Matthews at Cymry Con 2006. Her Faerie knowledge and Bardic style were a delight to all, and her books are truly wonderful.

Caitlin Mathews, myself, and Edain McCoy posed for a night photo at Cymry Con 2006. We were all very impressed with the site and the warm hospitality of the people here, and we hope this event grows to become one of the major Pagan Festivals in America.

This is only a small portion of the amazing boulders at the Cymry Con site. Walking through the maze of natural stone formations was like entering another world. This is a sacred site where Native American Shamans from the local tribes once gathered. Later, wild horses were corraled on the 40 acres here, and thus the name Horse Pens 40 for this evocative site. Be sure to keep checking their website for upcoming events at http://www.ytylwythteg.org/

It is always fun getting together with Dr. Raymond Buckland and Christopher Penczak.

FLORIDA PAGAN GATHERING BELTANE 2007

I enjoyed this event immensely, and enjoyed my time with Janet Farrar, Gavin Bone, Edain McCoy, and Selena Fox. Here I am with Janet, Edain, and Gavin after the Beltane Ritual.

The ritual was presented by Coven of the Goddess Moon, and here are pictures of Isis and of Isis with Osiris. Druydess of Rowan Grove made a stunning Isis!

Gavin took photos after Lord Morpheus and Lady Danu called upon the Ancestors to join us at the ritual, and boy did they arrive!

This was a fun book signing for all of us prior to INATS East in 2004. Authors are Carl McColman, Dorothy Morrison, Ann Moura, Raymond Buckland, and Trish Telesco.
