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.

Spring is HERE!
Despite the warning of 20cm due to hit Montreal by April 4th, Spring is officially here.
It is time for spring cleaning, for purging the unwanted and unnecessary, to freshen things up and make room for a joyous spring and summer to come.
Here are some things to consider starting off your spring with:
- Spring Cleaning & House Blessing
- Blue Moon Esbat Ritual (for the rare things)
- Mapping out your garden on paper with what you want to grow (or planning the window planters if you do not have a garden space). You might want to consider registering t use a Community Garden space.
- Start indoor seeds for some of those plants
- Make a room-by-room wishlist of how you want each room to look and feel. This becomes the start of an action plan to manifest these changes.
- Do your annual taxes
- Consider the one most important thing that makes you silly happy (or three really is best because three is a magical number). Do them!
- Pick a day or a time that you declare is SACRED for you for self-care. Schedule it in your agenda and STICK TO IT.
- Come out to the Beltain/Spring Fair: attend the talks; go to the ritual; support the artisans
