This year Stone City will have a hosting room on the 2nd floor, just across the rooftop walkway from the large event rooms on the mezzanine. We'll have open hours when you are welcome to drop by and see us, old friends and newcomers alike. We'll have drinks and treats to share and information on our projects for the coming year, including design details you can look at for the new Star Goddess and Hekate shrines, and you can pick up a badge ribbon to show your support.
Here are our hospitality and program offerings for this year:
Friday, 1:30 pm - Black Heart, Shining Soul - a Feri workshop with Morpheus
Cedar room
A workshop exploring the Gifts of the Otherworld: Sovereignty, the Black Heart of Innocence and the Tongue that Cannot Lie. Faery honor and the third way between good and evil. The initiatory journey; radical authenticity and self-possession; Otherworldly truth. The warrior ethics of the Feri Tradition; forging the weapon of the soul.
Friday, 7:00 PM - American Mystic preview & discussion
San Juan room
We'll be screening a preview of the new feature documentary film by Alex Mar, "American Mystic", which explores Pagans and alternative spirituality movements, focusing on the Bay Area Pagan community and Stone City as one of three religious communities. Highlights of the film will be shown, followed by open discussion with director Alex Mar. Alex is traveling from New York city to attend Con with us, meet you, and hear your thoughts about the film project.
Friday, 9:00 pm - Red God Revel: an Ecstatic Invocation
Cedar/Pine rooms
Anaar, T. Thorn Coyle, and Morpheus Ravenna will lead this working to invoke the energy of the Red God in our lives. This is the dance of sex, pride, self, power, passion, love and lust. This is the dance of the blood thrumming through our veins and the hunter and hunted in primal chase. The magic staves and stangs will pound like hoofbeats in the heart. Join us, along with Sharon Knight and Winter of Pandemonaeon, M. Macha Nightmare, and priests Ivo, Robert, Onyx, Jonathan, and Paul as we dance the spiral to invoke the power of life!
Saturday and Sunday, 12-4 pm - Stone City Gypsy Cafe
Stone City room
We'll be offering Turkish coffee, spiced Indian chai, fine teas and treats, and henna body art. Come sit back on a cushion, listen to exotic rhythms, sip something warm and aromatic while we adorn you with henna. Musicians and dancers are encouraged to come with your bells and drums for spontaneous belly dance jam sessions as the spirit moves us.
Saturday, 5:30-7 pm – Ancient Ways Festival Meet & Greet
Stone City room
Stone City will be host again this year to the Ancient Ways Festival in May. We'll be hosting a meet-and-greet mixer in our hospitality room to promote the Festival.
