Birch
Birch bikes, surfs and skateboards in the wild and urban
rain forests of Oregon. An unrepentant plant geek who's
current obsession is urban ornamental food gardens, he
honors the ancient alliance with faerie and dabbles in
magical technology and potions. He believes "We can
change the world with how we live our daily lives."
Jim Matto-Shepard
Jim Matto-Shepard is a licensed psychologist with an
emphasis in somatics and a passion for transformational
magic. Jim is a devoted student of West African drumming
and is interested in exploring entrainment through sound,
rhythm, and movement. Jim lives his life with an intention
to appreciate beauty, assert power with grace and dignity,
practice loving, and cocreate transformation.
John Brazaitis
John Brazaitis, a beekeeper since the age of seven, has
always loved the old stories and literally cannot remember
a time when he did not know what the birds told Sigfried.
As John grows older he realizes that the stories are as
much a part of him as he is of them. John works mostly in
the Northern and Eastern European traditions and is
(slowly) writing a book on runes.
Laurel LaFey
Laurel LaFey's paths magically are as Witness and Muse,
she hears in color and can see in the Dark. Passionate
artist, poet and priestess, she teaches and learns with a
love for the magic of transformation. Never bored, never
boring, she Listens.
Laurel Lazuli
Laurel Lazuli is a Reclaiming Priestess and Witch who has
studied things like Poetics, Gemology, and the Kabbalah.
She eavesdrops on trees, is enraptured by the Moon and
tends to honor the messages that come to her in
dreams. Since she is a Magpie, do not doubt for a second
that she is craving whatever jewelry is currently adorning
your body.
Ravyn Stanfield
Ravyn Stanfield is a healer, writer, lover and alchemist
dedicated to bringing more of the extraordinary into the world.
She practices acupuncture and aikido in Portland, Oregon
and teaches magical workshops internationally. She will never
stop creating erotic revolution to restore our wild, strange
humanity, and our collective health. She is dry, semi-sweet
and nutty with an oaky finish.
Rose May Dance
Rose May Dance, in Reclaiming too long to mention, is back
to the beginning. She has turned her tendency towards
healing, trance and enchantment into a day job as a
hypnotherapist, but is wild to go back to the woods in feral
eagerness, creating ritual under the trees, in her favorite
practice of devotion in nature.
Suzanne Sterling
Suzanne Sterling has been a performing artist for 20 years
and a Reclaiming teacher and priestess for 17 years. Within
various Reclaiming communities, she has spearheaded and
developed curriculums, teacher trainings and apprenticeship
programs. She performs, teaches and facilitates retreats and
workshops in the U.S. and abroad and has an extensive
background in music, dance, yoga, theatre, psychology and
spiritual traditions.

Todd Herriott
Todd is a complex array of contradictions striving to find a
place in the world. He seeks to create opportunity for every
human, himself included, to confront and challenge
normative behavior and social constructs. His magic has
focused on embracing the life force energy of sex and
channeling that energy towards personal and global change.
Todd has also taught Tarot, Priestess Skills, Deep Trance,
Shadow Exploration, and 80s Pop Music.

Willow Firefly
Willow Firefly is a priestess, musician, artist, devotee, lover of
the Fae, and an instigator. Re-discovering power and
enchantment through community building, collaborative
music, art, faery alliances, and magic makes her sprout
wings. She strives to play deeply and work lightly.
