Presenters and Workshop Descriptions
- Caitlín Matthews

- Workshop I: The Kinship of The Hearth: Faery Neighbours
- From their angelic origins in Gaelic tradition, to the tutelary and household faeries who attend on families, the connections between faeries and human beings have always been close. The ancient hearth-wights who protect our homes also protect the earth. We explore the responsibilities of this guardianship and create (or find the design for) a talisman to help protect our own homes.
-
Workshop II:
Faery Wives & Daemon Lovers: Interspecies Mating & Inspiration
- Relationships have been formed across the human and faery worlds since the beginning of time as Celtic tradition proves from its rich fund of stories of inter-species and faery mating. In this session we will explore a few of the major stories from Welsh, Irish and Scottish folk-traditions, as well as uncovering the roots of our own gifts. It will be illustrated by songs and will conclude with a meditation to encounter our own Otherworldly inspirer.
Caitlín Matthews is the author of over fifty books, including Psychic Shield, Celtic Love, Singing the Soul Back Home and Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom.

- Dorothy Maclean

- Workshop: Walking with God, Talking with Angels
- In this workshop Dorothy will go back to the roots of her contact with the Devic realms. As she has emphasized throughout her public career it is the fundamental realization of the God within that gives safe access to the inner worlds. She will tell her delightful story as to how she came to be known worldwide as the woman who talks and walks with angels. She will lead a meditation designed to help those in attendance connect with their inner divinity and the greater ecology of life of which the Devas are an intimate part.
Dorothy Maclean is one of the three founders of the Findhorn Community in Scotland. Following an inner contact with the Divine she began a regular practice of meditation to connect with the God within. Later, so requested by one of these meditations, she came to communicate with the devic or angelic realms that over-light all aspects of existence. This helped Findhorn's legendary gardens to bloom. Dorothy's book, To Hear the Angels Sing, contains many of her communications with not only the essences of plants, but with minerals, animals and groups of humans too. She travels the world giving workshops and talks about her own inner practices and attunement to the Beloved and Nature.

- J. Joshua Phillips

- Workshop:
In the Heart of the Wood - Wilderness and Nature Spirits
- One of the first things we learn on the path of Faerie is that these ethereal beings exist in the wild. We are counseled to visit untamed places and leave a portion of our garden uncultivated where the fairy folk can dwell. What happens to the nature spirit realm as industrial civilization consumes more and more of these wild, free spaces? What happens to us? In this experiential workshop we will explore these questions, creating space for our hearts, our spirits and those other elemental spirits to answer.

- Workshop I: Elemental Class
- Explore the elements and the elementals that guide them thru sound, sensitivity, movement, magick, meditation, and your relation to them. Then, go beyond the limitations of three dimensional living to heighten awareness, develop Ki, and protect and
project your energy into the fourth and fifth dimensions.
- The Dance of Life
- On Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, MaryGold will lead us in THE DANCE OF LIFE - a moving prayer that was danced by the elders of the Cherokee Nation before they sat in council together. The Dance of Life aligns our energy with the four directions and elements. Being aware of
their responsibility to make wise decisions for their people, they practiced the movements and accompanying prayers in order to bring themselves into a place of balance and harmony internally, with each other, and all their relations.
- The Dance of Life has its origins with the elders of the Cherokee Nation.
Dhyani Ywahoo (auther of the book Voices of Our Ancestors) gifted this dance to the world at large. ChoQosh Auh'Ho'Oh, a Catalinan Native American, learned it from Dhyani, who in turn taught it to MaryGold. ChoQosh blessed her with permission to pass it along to others. Strong, clear, graceful, precise physical movements movements that exercise and open the body are practiced at the same time as prayers are offered. As the movements progress we are led deeper into the form and the spiritual wisdom unfolds.
MaryGold and Mark co-direct the YewWood Forest Retreat Center, a magical fairy filled place in the lush Oregon Coast Range where they live close to the earth with seen and unseen creatures.

- Morgan Brent

- Songs from the Garden
- Wake up! Start your day with a morning cup of breath-work, visualization, tones, 'sones' , and songs. We sing ourselves Alive as we journey thru the Story of Creation, weaving the double helix of the devic and de'human whirleds into a flowering of the heart, into the promise of heaven as earth. Those humans who have yet to discover their birthright as a singing species are encouraged to come, and let the fairies help you blossom your voice.
Morgan is an educator and ceremonialist, who if often found traveling along the serpentine triangle of the West Coast, Hawaii, and South America, offering talks, discussion forums, and singing circles. These concern the planet's plan ~~ as he understands it thru years of academic research, visionary encounters with teacher plants, spiritual practices, visiting tuned-in communities and people, and uncommon sense ~~ to save the humans. Central to the teachings he has received and developed is the 'human flowering response'. This a worldview and a meditation, designed to allow the evolutionary forces of Nature easier access to our human vehicles; this to help us effect the rapid maturation we need to get our species thru this difficult phase of our adolescence without extinguishing ourselves and much of the planet, so that we may flower the world into as yet undreamed of possibilities of Creation-bliss.

- Shannon Marie Svensson

- Starlight Fairy Watch

www.circlegreen.org
- We honor everyone's contribution. Each human, fairy and deva who attends brings their own special magic and knowledge to share. We are all students and we are all teachers and co-creators.
We would like to be clear that every single person who attends the Fairy & Human Relations Congress adds to our group energy. Every one of us brings our Divine Essence to the congress and every one of us brings our spiritual allies. Every one of our presenters and every other single person brings something valuable to share. It is wonderful that we have well-known presenters who are among the world's leaders on fairy-related matters such as Dorothy Maclean, RJ Stewart and Caitlín Matthews. But every one of our other presenters also has incredible things to share.
And every single person and every child has things to share.
The congress is like an incredible symphony and each person is an integral part of the whole. We do make beautiful music together! The fairies, devas and other beings who attend all add to this grand symphony.
Knowledge, wisdom and friendship are available everywhere throughout the congress; in the kitchen, during the meals, in the parking lot, at the crafts booth, in the childen's area, etc. Not just at the formal workshops and not just by sitting at the feet of the more famous presenters. Everyone who attends deserves our love and respect. We are all co-creators at the event.
The Fairy & Human Relations Congress offers a wide diversity of workshops and presenters for several reasons. It is more likely that everyone can find something they are excited about attending in each workshop session. A wider amount of knowledge and insights are spoken about and offered to our community as a whole. Each individual can only attend so much, but as a whole, there is more knowledge shared by having more presenters. If you are having a problem choosing between presenters, use your heart to determine which workshop will be best suited for your spiritual growth at this particular time. Be in the now.
Consider the viewpoint that the more illuminated beings you get together in one place, the better off everyone is; 1) each one of us individually benefits from the energy field that we set up, 2) and we can do more good for the planet as a whole. When we do our circles, ceremonies and meditations, our united energies help the greater world.
Our goal is to get as many of the best fairy people as we can find to attend and participate. You can be one of them.
