Raising Power: Techniques of Transformation with Amanda Yates Garcia
Understanding power: how it works, what it means, and how to call it in, is foundational to the practice of witchcraft. However, many of us only have a vague understanding of what we mean when we use the word. Physicists say power is the amount of energy available to do work, while Ojibwa elders say power lives in the strength and breadth of our relationships. Power comes in many forms: personal, political, collective, ecological, ideological, magical. In this workshop, participants will: develop a definition of power that works for them; get a somatic sense of how power feels as it runs through their bodies; learn techniques for raising power collectively; and gain practical, applicable tools for raising power in their own rituals.
