Seekers Classes
Through song, lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities, these classes will explore the worldviews, ethics, rites of worship, theologies, and religious communities that Becoming participates in and draws from. The classes will be beneficial to those new to Becoming, paganism, and pan(en)theism, and those who seek a deeper understanding of the influences on and meaning of Becoming’s core values, belief, and liturgy.
