Workshop Proposals

Please read this, the presenter page, then fill out the proposal form, one for each class. This year we’re burdening you with including two lengths of description for each workshop: one suitable for putting up on the website, and one shorter one for printing in the program. Since we want to create a balanced program between the many incredible subjects available (healing, divination, energy work, spirituality/religion/folklore, etc.) we’d love it if you would suggest several workshops you would like to give. This is your chance to present the information or techniques that you’d like to share. Especially if you suggest more than you want to do, let us know how many you’d like to actually do. We also want to know how much time each workshop would take, and how you’d like them to be distributed. Please include any prerequisites. As we hope to get into more advanced material at this convention, please include mention of anything your students need to know in order to benefit from this level class: general (or advanced): for example: having already had Reiki I, understanding of runes, or chakras, solid ability to ground, being able to control to avoid entering trance… That’s why we don’t restrict the class description on the website.

Dispite our best intentions, sometimes we schedule two classes someone wants to see against each other. To reduce this stress, let us know if you’d be willing to repeat any of your classes (perhaps on different days) so people who missed it once may be able to go to the second time. Also, let us know if there are other scheduling needs. For example- when are you getting in and leavingt? will you be available on only one day? Do we need to avoid early mornings or late night slots for you?

The form will be up soon (I’m trying to figure out how to make it so you don’t have to enter all your information more than once).

  • Your bio: (a brief description of what you feel is pertinent about your background).
  • Please send us a picture if you have one (and want to do so).
  • We’ll be happy to link to your website, and would love it if you’d link to ours.
  • Contact information: (Please let us know CLEARLY if you wish to keep part of your information private.)
  • Are there any presentations or speakers you really don’t want to be scheduled against? Check the website periodically to see if something new has been added. We’ll give you a reminder on this just before we create the schedule
  • If you have a handout, and it’s possible, we’d like to get a copy of it  before the conference.
  • Are you willing to participate in panels? As a moderator? A panelist? Which panels? Suggest a panel topic on the suggestions page- or with your application.
  • Can you join us by Skype if you can’t make it in person- if so, when will you be available?
  • Do you need handicap accessibility information? Have special food needs?

Send descriptions of as many workshops as you like, we’ll be back to you to decide which will work best for both of us.

For each workshop, please send:

  • Workshop description: (This should include what kind of workshop it- is it a lecture, or a demonstration with exercises, guided meditation, ritual, performance… This is to help people to decide which to attend.)
  • Prerequisites:
  • How long should your class take? At this point we have one hour, 2 hour and 90 minute blocks, but if your material needs more, we’ll arrange it.
  • If you need more than one block, or if you have a series of workshops, how would you like them spaced: (all in a row, different days, etc.)
  • Is anyone else is co-presenting with you?
  • Do you have any special needs for this (limited number of participants, needed amount of space, special furniture or set-up time, etc.)?
  • Let us know what you need for your presentation (what we need to provide). Do you use Powerpoint? Whiteboard? Flipchart?
  • Would you be willing to do this workshop twice?
  • Any scheduling restrictions? (mornings or evenings preferred, not getting in until late Friday, etc.)
