Oak Spirit Sanctuary

Hey community! Just a message from the Board of Directors and land management. Due to the very wet weather we have had we would like to recommend if you are coming out to visit the land, please try to lower vehicle traffic on the land. There is a barrier placed at the power lines. The back is too boggy and the ruts in the road are too deep to allow vehicle traffic. We are asking the community to allow these areas to dry out so that repairs can be made. Thank you to all who come out to work and improve the land. Always, Rebekah

We are having a work day this Saturday, May 15th, starting at 9 am. Guidelines for Work Weekends during Covid-19 precautions: Social distancing in effect, 4 ft outdoors and 6 ft indoors. Distance high fives and air hugs are preferred. The Retreat Center will remain closed to eliminate some close quarters situations. Only a few will be allowed in to work inside.... Bring your own food - lunch will not be provided to prevent the possibility of spreading the virus. Please don't attend if you are immune compromised. Your health is more important than anything we might do. Please don't attend if you feel ill in any way. Again, your health is more important. Work groups will be restricted to 4 or less or as family/living groups. The group you start will be the group you stay with. Attend at your own risk. OSS is taking as many precautions as possible while still holding the event. You will be required to sign a waiver that will be kept on file understanding that OSS is not liable should you be exposed. As a special thank you and to slightly offset not providing lunch, work voucher values will be doubled during the work weekends until the CDC lifts the Covid-19 precautions. Attendees are required to check in with the Head of Land Management, Chuck Cook, immediately upon arrival to the property. There will be jobs and or projects for everyone regardless of capabilities. Please don’t think because you can’t do heavy lifting or swing an ax there is no way to contribute.

Here is the story of Brigid, as well as a coloring sheet. This is a great story to read to your kids this evening before bed! Tell us what you think in the comments. #OakSpiritSanctuary #OakScouts #PaganFamilyFriday #Imbolc https://docs.google.com//1Z0oU2fbJKwyety5o3BAlCU6OKq/edit

Hello and welcome to pagan family Friday! Today we will be learning about the goddess Brigid. She is the goddess of fire, inspiration, poetry, and creativity, and much more. Look out for her story later today! For now, some key questions to ask yourself and your family: how can you tend to the sacred flame of connection with your loved ones? How can you nurture your own creative spirit? Is there a project we can do together? Feel free to tell us about your answers in the comments! #OakSpiritSanctuary #OakScouts #PaganFamilyFriday #Imbolc

Hello everyone! After a short break for November, we are back once again for Pagan Family Friday! This month, we will be focusing on Yule and on coming together as a community during the winter season. We know that things are difficult right now as we are still struggling with the pandemic, and many of us might feel disconnected or isolated due to social distancing guidelines. So we’d like to put a focus this month on coming together in any way that we can, safely, virtually, and with our families within our own homes. We hope you will join us this month for our Yuletide series: Community in the Long Night. In the comments, share with us your answer to this question: what does community mean to you?

Ugh, Billy! #justforfun #oakspiritsanctuary #OakScouts

Sagittarius, this month is a great to hear what I said, but watch out for people who aren't allowed to leave.

I'm a Witch, I can't even leave the house without getting some soup. Boring lol
