So excited for this class! I miss teaching it!

The plants that deck the halls at Winter Solstice were not chosen randomly by peoples of the past. Pine, holly, oak, rose hip, and fir, all these trees and plants held powerful edible, medicinal and folkloric uses. We'll explore the ethnobotanical, historical and folk magical uses of wreath making p

Hey all, I am on the hunt for a new home for Pars Fortuna! We are looking in Mars Hill, Johnson City TN, Marshall, even Asheville. We would love a larger space, 800+ sq ft for our private tattoo practice. I also would love a space to continue teaching my workshops out of and even retail space if possible. Please let me know if you hear of anything. Here's an old picture of our shop for an example of the vibe we bring! DM me

Hey loved ones. Thank you SO immensely for this amazing support. We are waiting on safety equipment to try and re-enter the studios and see the true extent of the destruction. We'll update with more info. As far as tattooing goes, this money will help us buy all the different supplies we need to re-stock a new space we will seek out and make sure we can pay our bills until then, as well as provide aid to others in our community and replace some of the important pieces of furniture we need to tattoo, as well as new permits and all associated liscensing costs for a new space. We are still in deep shock. I just fell apart today for the first time completely, just mourning my second home, our shop, a place I identified as a safe space with my best friends and co-workers, Tori and Baylen.

I can't tell you enough how much it means to get all the sweet and understanding messages from you all and see the ways our community and region are pulling together to help each other. It is so sad to see so many of us loose everything, or nearly so. So thank you so deeply for caring for us. I have been getting a lot of messages about what tattoos I have given different people and how much they love them and its just so wonderful. Thanks for sharing your care with us. Update soon when we get more gas for our generator.

My bestie Song Speak Saro is teaching this beautiful choir!

Are you looking for an embodied way to practice your land-based spirituality and connect to
ancestral practices? You might want to consider Pagan Choir, starting in just a few weeks in
Weaverville, NC!

Pagan Choir is a space to embrace the power of your voice as a vehicle to praise, invoke, and express wonder towards the living world and pagan deities. Attendees will learn rounds, parts songs and folk songs that connect to authentic folklore and beliefs from Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and related traditions in an energizing environment welcoming to all. The fall season songs will focus
on themes of harvest, death, & ancestral veneration- and will end with a Samhain/Halloween
ritual!

Pagan Choir is open to all voices and is non-auditioning and non-performing.
It takes place on Sundays, from 2-4pm, and lasts from September 20th through Nov. 3rd.
Registration is open now! You can learn more and register at sarosings.com/paganchoir
