Join us for an afternoon of apple picking and fun at Tougas Farm in Northborough, MA on Sunday 17 September at 1 pm.
Let us know if you’re going to make it by emailing us or messaging us on Facebook. We’ll have a small sign that says SEF so you can find us once there.
This is a social event! Get some cider and donuts and then we can head out into the orchard. See the Tougas Farm website for details on Apple picking.
We hope to see you there! It’s fun for the whole family.
Lupercalia – Light: Society of Elder Faiths Teen and Tween Edition
Come join us for a PG rated Lupercalia Ritual at 2PM on February 12th, at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Hudson (80 Main Street)! We’re going to sacrifice some goat (cookies) and have a ritual to celebrate love in the form of friendship and love for ourselves. Think… a Valentine’s Day party like you used to have in elementary school, plus a ritual. Enter through the side door, because we’re upstairs in the Knight Room. I promise you’ll be home in time for the Super Bowl. Parents and Teens and Tweens alumni welcome to attend!
If you are able, please bring a donation to UCMH for the space.
Long nights getting you down? Having a hard time staying motivated when you have to go to school before sunrise and it’s dark by the time you get home? We’ll be doing a simple spell to keep us motivated and help us turn our dreams into reality. This event is open to students between 6th and 12th grade. Parents are very welcome to attend and participate.
The Society of Elder Faiths is bringing back the Teens and Tweens group on 9/18 at the UCMH. We’re so excited!
Doors open at 2:30 PM, programming starts at 3. The Teen and Tween Group is open to all pagan kids in 6th to 12th grade. Parents are very welcome to stay, but are not required. If you’d like, you can bring your favorite school supply (Your best pen? Your TI-85?) because the theme of this ritual is a blessing for scholars.
$5 suggested donation. If you have any questions, please contact Heather W.

The 2019 Lammas Ritual and Games will focus on the Irish myth of Lugh as he presents himself at the gate of Tara before Nuada, on the eve of battle with the Formorians to take back the kingship of Ireland. Our writer and RE director has taken a few liberties with versions of the story to keep it in line with the rituals and crafts she has been teaching the children in the Pagan Family Connection and Tween & Teen groups.

and the sun shines down
upon our land,
we will offer thanks to the great earth mother
and her gifts of life each spring.
