Beginning Oracular Seidr with Gràrvölur Team
Frederick Congregation of Unitarian Universalists
April 24 - 26
Gràrvölur Seidr is a divinatory practice rooted in the lore and mythology of pre-Christian Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Scandinavia and Germanic Europe. In this ritual form, attendees can ask questions of our ancestors, deities, and other spirits. Seers act as conduits to the beings sought and channel or relay answers. This ritual form requires a small team to perform and is offered as a service to the community. Preregistration is required.
Herbalism for Spring & Summer
Frederick Congregation of Unitarian Universalists
April 19 1-3 pm
Spring and summer invite us outward—into movement, growth, creativity, and connection. In this seasonal herbalism class, we explore plant allies that support the body and nervous system through times of rising energy, heat, and expansion. We will cover herbs that cool inflammation, soothe seasonal allergies, support digestion, regulate stress, and protect the skin as we spend more time outdoors.​
