Summer Spiritual Focus
The summer is a tough time for scheduling anything with CMS. Most students (and teachers) are either away with family on various vacations or at one or more of the many summer festivals that happen throughout the summer.
However, some things are a strong focus. CMS has a commitment to provide esbat rituals (dark and full moon rituals) throughout the summer months. These rituals will be held Tuesday evenings 7pm (closest to the dark and full moon) at Atelier Fiber Arts.
Once a month will be a featured workshop or specialty: Energy Work, Stone Lore, Chakra specialty, etc. Watch for the July and August offers.
Other summer activities include our Open House at the end of August.
The new sessions of the CMS program begin after Labor Day. Registration will open July 15th when the schedule gets announced.
