Mark your calendars. The fourth Montreal Pagan Community Conference will be taking place on November 17th!

From Language to Liturgy
Crafting understanding in Montreal's diverse Pagan community.

Saturday November 17th, 2007
Scottish Centre, 1610 Stephens Ave, Verdun
9am-6pm, food provided
$15 (work exchange available)

Montreal is a cauldron of diversity--religious, cultural and linguistic. Our local contemporary Pagan community is no different. We have a diversity of pagan traditions and paths practicing in different cultural contexts and languages.

This year, the aim of the conference is to celebrate this diversity and to facilitate communication between the many different facets of our local community. The event will include an inter-path panel with representatives talking about the roots and practices of their own traditions, as well as a roundtable discussion focussing on ways to reduce the linguistic divide between our francophone and anglophone pagan communities. There will also be an academic panel of local Pagan scholars.

As well as inviting you to attend the conference, we'd like to invite you to contribute to its vision. To this end, we're we welcoming proposals for workshops and facilitated discussions. If you have an idea about what you'd like to see at the conference, tell us about it. Proposals should fit within the conference theme, From Language to Liturgy, on some level, while addressing the issues of the local community, or be an opportunity for skill sharing and building within the local community. They should also be based on a 60-minute time slot.

Deadline for submitting proposals for workshops and facilitated discussions is October 18th.

Morning coffee , lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided. A pub moot will follow the conference.

We look forward to reading your proposals and to seeing you at the conference!
