Coven Formation Class?

[Ivy Artemisia]

Would anyone be interested in a Coven formation class? It would cover the basics: different types, pros and cons, managing expectations, small group ritual planning and performance, conflict resolution, administration.

At the end of the class, each person will have created a set of bylaws/compact for their new coven out of their journaling and assignments. It would be a pretty decent amount of work, but worth it if you are thinking about starting a group without being in a structured coven training program. It would be aimed toward current coveners and solitaries alike, sometimes with different assignments.

Would anyone be interested?

I would be interested in this!

[Nitefalle]

I would be very interested in this!! I am part of a group, but I am (reluctantly) basically the leader in most senses and I find it a struggle sometimes to keep everyone together. I would definitely be interested in this class.

[novimarra]

Agreed! ::nods:: :blowcandl

[SparkleWytch]

You should do it. So many people would be interested even if they don't post it here. Go for it.

[Ivy Artemisia]

LOL, thanks Rayne. :)

[Ivy Artemisia]

I will be starting this in December or January- Id start it sooner, but I already am part of several Pagan groups (coven, 2 study groups, online group) whilst I am planning my wedding next month. :)

[SwordsFlameSong]

When you are ready just send me a class outline and a tentative start date and we will go from there.

[mammas_girl]

I would be interested in this but I am currently a solitary. So my reasoning would be for learning more about covens ect... I would love to join:ringaroun

I was thinking just this a.m. that I'd like to get a small coven together (max 4 people) to have some pagan camaraderie! My biggest problem, though, is going to be finding those other few coven mates. I'm still interested in this class for when I DO find them!

First question: how many participants before you can really call it a coven? Does coven inply a specific number, such as 12 or 13?

Oh, and magickalmeli, congrats on the upcoming wedding!!!

[Austeja]

[Ivy Artemisia]

I wanted to bump this up again- anyone interested? Its been awhile since I mentioned it, but Im all married and holidays are over so Im good to go, timewise! :)

[Windsmith]

I would be very, very interested in this class.

[aniraangel]

Me, too! *is late, as usual*

[RubyRose]

I'm not sure I have the time to participate actively, but the idea sounds good.

[Ivy Artemisia]

Awesome... I'm planning on starting this within the next few weeks. :)

[Kern]

Hey Ivy, I'm Interested in learning about this, even though I am a Solitary.

[Ivy Artemisia]

This has been postponed until June. I may be teaching RL classes locally and want to make sure I can set aside the time to dedicate to this class.

[Kern]

Thats fine, thanks for the update!

Have a nice Yule!

[Rosetta Morrigan]

I'm interested! I'm interested!:boing:

[Rosetta Morrigan]

Oh whoops...postponed to june...

[Sollie]

I am also interested in this.

[WildThing]

I'm definitely interested in this. I've only ever been solitary and looking at my future and thinking about where I'm going spiritually and physically, I realize I may end up where there aren't alot of groups I could check out. It's crossed my mind that it's possible the right thing to do may BE to start my own group or coven -- I just haven't had any idea how I'd go about doing that.

January sounds perfect for me.

EDIT; Oh, June? Hmm. MIGHT be perfect, I might have to juggle it with other things...computer access is one of those things that's up in the air for next summer. I'm still interested. Just thought I'd note that...I've never taken any classes from the folks at Mystic Wicks before, so I dunno the details of how it all works.
Double EDIT; Bluh, I'm seventeen til mid August anyway. I suppose it's just as well -- I'll know for sure how my internet is by September.

I'm interested in this class but I see that it has already given in June '09. And I haven't heard any plans to do this class again. Oh well.
