Roots and Renewal: Finding Recovery on Your Sacred Pathway is a supportive and empowering workshop for those walking the path of sobriety as a pagan. Jenn and Renee will blend practical tips for maintaining sobriety, compassionate guidance for navigating relapse, and personal stories from their lived experiences. This gathering invites participants to root into their values, reconnect with their spiritual practices, and renew their commitment to healing. Grounded in Earth-based wisdom and inclusive of all Pagan traditions, this space honors each person’s unique journey while offering tools, ritual, and community for sustained recovery. Whether you are new to the journey, seeking to deepen your path, or sober curious, this workshop offers a sacred space to reconnect, reclaim, and root into your healing.

Renee (she/her) is 10 years sober from opiates and alcohol (with a 5 month alcohol relapse in 2022-23). She found somatic movement so beneficial in her journey that she completed her 500 hr yoga teacher certification which focused on adaptive trauma informed yoga and included certificates in trauma healing and somatic movement instruction. She is also a certified SMART Recovery facilitator. Renee is an energy worker and shadow walker following a non-theistic pagan path.

Jenn (she/they) is almost two years sober from cannabis and alcohol. She acquired her 200 hr trauma informed yoga teacher training certification in 2025, and credits the yogic philosophy with helping her change her mindset about addiction, suffering, and recovery. She is also a practicing heathen and witch.

I will be part of a group sermon on community.

At the first harvest, we celebrate all that has been given, grown, and brought into being. We celebrate the bounty of food, community, and connection. This Sunday service is for our entire Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick community and is the Sunday morning service for August 3rd.

Everyone is invited to wear bright, fiery colors and sun symbols if they would like to. There will be a picnic lunch on the grounds (with yard games) after the service. Hot dogs, chips, and buns (with vegan and gluten free options) will be available. Please feel welcome to bring anything else you would like to eat. PLEASE RSVP HERE. It helps us know how much food to provide: https://www.signupgenius.com/.../70A0B4FABA92DA4FD0...

Foster a connection with others in the community that share in agnostic or energy based practice. Join me and others as we gather for a guided discussion based around being a practicing pagan without a theistic based belief system. Topics covered will include: ancestry and heritage, rituals without deities, symbolism and archetypes, and exploring non-theistic worldviews.
