New Fun Classes!Very pleased and stoked to announce some new events and classes sponsored by Witches of West Michigan! Since its inception less than a year ago, the group has grown enormously. They've presented several divination events, holiday celebrations and workshops, and a presentation at Grand Rapids Pagan Pride including the Witches' Broom Dance, There have been numerous coffee-house meetups in several cities, called of course "Witches' Brew", including the one that I'm facilitating in Kalamazoo. Ours will be on the second Friday of each month, beginning on Friday, Nov. 11 at 7 pm at Water Street Coffee Joint on Oakland Drive in K'zoo. There'll be WoWM merch there to help fund events and holiday celebrations. https://www.facebook.com/events/468488111436398/607377800880761/?active_tab=about Starting in January, there will be beginning and intermediate Belly Dancing facilitated by Nicki, a Witch choir, and mine and Dave's DRUMMING CIRCLE on the first Sunday of the Month at DAAC in Grand Rapids, and also a folkplay class, with performances at various venues. Folkplays are an older British Isles custom, also called guizing, mumming, ritual theater, skits, and "singing for your supper". They're a terrific way to raise energy, meet others, and have fun.
