\"About<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I love teaching, and I especially love teaching on topics related to Paganism, religious witchcraft, or finding and using information to make our lives better. This page covers some practical notes, topics I\u2019m willing to teach, and then some background on my past teaching experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My teaching style tends to be discussion-based (sharing information, then talking about it) with as much in the way of practical exercises as the topic and time allow. Obviously, there\u2019s more space to try things out when we have more time together. I include handouts and other materials (electronically or in print, depending on the setting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my teaching, I also try to make sure to cover not just how to do something, but why doing it a particular way might be useful. (Usually with several different examples.) I pay special attention to topics that don\u2019t get discussed much. My Seeking site, aimed at people interested in learning more about Paganism and religious witchcraft (in particular) gives a good idea of many of those things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are of course lots of things I don\u2019t teach or prefer not to teach for reasons of time\/energy\/focus \u2013 but if you hit one of those, I\u2019ll tell you (and it\u2019s pretty hard to offend me unless you\u2019re actually trying to.) So, if you\u2019re not sure, feel free to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

practical notes:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/strong>: I\u2019m glad to consider driving (weather and other details permitting) to teach \u2013 how far depends on a variety of factors, but a two hour drive is generally manageable. Time and finances allowing, I\u2019m also glad to consider trips further afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/strong> I do not charge for teaching material about religious witchcraft. However, I would prefer not to be out of pocket to teach: finding a shared way to cover costs for room rental, printed material, or supplies (plus gas costs for trips I wouldn\u2019t otherwise make) is strongly preferred. Donations are cheerfully accepted, and I will likely use them to supplement my book budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timing:<\/strong> Due to my work schedule, I am primarily free to teach on weekends, but if my schedule (and vacation time) allow, I\u2019m glad to talk about some other options. Please ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

workshops and other short-term teaching:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I am definitely open to either single-session or a short series of classes on a variety of topics. Topics I\u2019m particularly interested in teaching are listed below with some possible areas of focus, but I\u2019m definitely open to discussing other related workshops or areas of interest, so please ask if you have an interest not listed below. I’m also willing and able to teach about most things discussed on this Seeking site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
