We are pleased to share the classes and presenters for the event on March 22, 2026. Remember, these classes are free for those attending the event (which is also free to attend).
How to talk to your family about your religion
It can sometimes be very difficult to talk to our loved ones about your religion. In this class we will be discussing ways to talk to our loved ones using a dialog that will help them better understand what your religion is all about so they can understand it better. Remember that these kinds of conversations can be a journey and not just a one-time conversation.

Erick Sastre
Erick is a pagan priest, witch, massage therapist and yoga teacher. He is a
member of the Well & Forge Coven, of the Temple of the Hallowed Gods
and a member of the Blackthorn Tradition of Witchcraft. He began his
journey to paganism as a curious teen, hooked by his love of mythology
and intrigued by the mysteries, his mission now is to help create spiritually safe spaces, especially those that actively practice inclusion and affirmation for gender diverse people. Paganism has so many treasures to discover, but for some it is tough to get through the Gordian Knot of
‘gender-baggage’ embedded in our culture. Yet it is imperative to undertake this ‘great work’ and find ourselves and our magic!
