11 AM – 1 PM in Assembly Room at First Unitarian Church of Orlando

A new year is a great time to begin again. Whether you’re new, returning, curious, or simply tired after the holidays, you’re warmly invited to gather with us. This event is for pagans and pagan-curious folks who are looking for simple, hands-on practices—especially crafts—as an easy, meaningful way to reconnect spiritually in real life.

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Potluck Charcuterie Board Build

We’ll begin by creating a shared charcuterie experience. Cookie sheets and centerpieces will be provided—please bring one item to share, such as soft or hard cheeses, meats, nuts, candies or chocolates, spreads, jams, fresh/pickled vegetables, or fresh/dried fruits. We’ll be assembling one regular board and one gluten-free board, and you’re welcome to contribute to either or both.

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Craft Circle Planning for the Year
During the second hour, we’ll snack and plan our craft circle topics for the coming year using “Witchcraft on a Shoestring” by Deborah Blake as a guiding resource, with an emphasis on accessible, low-cost practices that fit into busy lives. You’re also welcome to bring other craft books or craft ideas you’d like to explore.Read more: Jan 17, 2025 – Charcuterie Potluck & Craft Circle Planning Party

Our 2026 craft circle will be a team-teach model. Participants will have the option to sign up to host and/or teach a craft for a month, and partnering is encouraged.

Donations & Giving Back
A suggested donation of $2 with a potluck item or $5 without is appreciated. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. All donations and any leftover food will be donated to Sunday Coffee Hour the following day. 

Start the year with good food, shared creativity, and a supportive circle! Come as you are, and help shape a year of simple, meaningful practice together.
