| BrightFlame
is a teacher, writer and priestess who brings forth Mystery.
She is part of the New York and
Vermont Witchcamp Communities and taught at the latter in
August '04. Active in feminist communities, she
has been a presenter and priestess at Womongathering
(an annual spiritual festival drawing over 300 women) for over 14
years, and has been on the teaching staff of WomenCircles
(Rowe Camp, MA). She offers classes,
rituals
and events in Bucks County, PA, drawing students from
Philadelphia
and New York City. BrightFlame founded Delaware Valley
Reclaiming, now a thriving independent community. She has
offered many iterations of Elements
of Magic (the basic class in Reclaiming Witchcraft), as well
as Reclaiming’s Pentacle
of Iron and other core classes. She is on the
core committee of the Reclaiming Community Resource Collaborative
(RCRC)--an
effort to help seed and feed local Reclaiming Communities.
Some of BrightFlame’s specialities include: sensing and shaping energy, leading trance journeys, creating labyrinths, storytelling in ritual form, working with faeries and land spirits, aspecting the gods and introducing people to the Mysteries. BrightFlame has developed and taught classes on journeying to the Goddess, feeling the god within, tapping intuition and creativity, sensing energy, walking the labyrinth, connecting to the Earth, creating sacred space, and has adapted and taught courses in Reclaiming Witchcraft. Her environmental column, Living Lightly on the Earth, has appeared in regional newspapers. She is currently working on a novel that weaves a Goddess tale, as well as a screenplay. BrightFlame produces events aligned with her work, such as the November '99 program in Philadelphia, Excavating the Great Mother: The Life and Work of Marija Gimbutas. This program included filmmaker Donna Read, artist Cristina Biaggi, composer/harper Julia Haines and other internationally-acclaimed guests, and benefitted the documentary on archaeologist Gimbutas that Read and Starhawk have created. BrightFlame has hosted workshops with Starhawk and other special guests. |
