Brook
For me, practicing together the Craft of the Wise is a gift that we, the
participants in a class, give to each other. Working group
inter-personal process makes my heart sing. I find deep magic in the
unfolding miracle of life. I'm a devotee to the Feri Black Heart of
Innocence. www.magicbrook.com/teaching.htm.
Hekate RockThorn
Hekate is a Gemini Witch in love with
the ecstasy and beauty of embodied living, with all its mistakes, cracks
and broken places. She is passionate about authenticity, accessibility
and the gritty mundane magic we work in our everyday lives. She loves to
dance, sing and (surprise) discuss ideas at length, and works with the
runes, stillness, and sacred sexuality in her daily practice. She has
been involved with Reclaiming for over four years as a priestess,
teacher and ritual organizer and is delighted to be student-teaching at
California camp this year.
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.
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.
Robin Hood
Robin Hood is a fierce Radical Faerie and edge-walking witch. He has been spotted
joyously skipping down the rural roads of his garden island home dressed in a snappy
green Lycra hose, a soft pink suede doublet and packing a shiny polka dot cod piece.
Ever learning how to embody and express his own inherent mythic imagination through
the practices of theatre, writing, dance and ritual, Robin Hood regularly practices
and teaches ancestral magic, sacred drama and social justice work in Canada, the States,
Asia and Mexico. He invites you to visit his web-site: www.playbacktraining.com. Robin is deeply
honored to dance with you at the lip of Cerridwen’s cauldron.
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.

Willow "Firefly" Kelly
Willow “Firefly” Kelly is a priestess and
witch who experiences transformation through the exploration and
integration of shadows sprinkled generously with the ecstatic vibrations
of music, energy, play, movement, and sound. She thrives on
collaborative community building, art and ecstatic magic. She teaches
workshops and classes in the U.S. and abroad and finds herself playing
music with witches, Sufis, yogis and hillbillies on a regular basis.
Deeply in love with the beauty and power of collectively creating safe
and sacred space for collective and personal journeys to unfold, Willow
is delighted to be returning to her first home camp where she fell in
love with the redwoods, Reclaiming and the California Witchcamp
community. She currently lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia,
swept away to the East coast by CAWC love
