Paganism 101 - Fall 2023

Paganism 101 is a 10-session curriculum created by Louise Bunn, a member of our congregation, updated to be clearly inclusive of diverse gender identities in our relationship to the divine.

Paganism 101 is an experiential curriculum that will enable participants to conduct Pagan rituals on their own as independent practitioners. It introduces the practices, beliefs, and history of Modern Pagan spirituality, a nature-based worldview that is deeply rooted in Western Esoteric traditions. It is an active and powerful way to engage with Unitarianism’s Sixth Source — Spiritual Teachings of Earth-centred Traditions that Celebrate the Sacred Circle of Life and Instruct us to Live in Harmony with the Rhythms of Nature.

Program Cost: Sliding scale $15 - $80

Lifespan Education is a ministry of Vancouver Unitarian. Program costs are budgeted for annually through the donations of members and program participants. 

If a fee of any size is a barrier to your participation, please leave the amount blank and select "not at this time" in the credit card processing fee menu.

Sliding scale suggestions are designed to allow participants to choose the amount to pay for a course that is a meaningful commitment but not a hardship. 

If you are unsure what a fair donation would be for you, check out this graphic and read a few words about sliding scale to think about:


“When I pay more, I know that I am helping others to access the event. When I pay in the middle, I know I am helping the organizers cover costs. And when I pay at the bottom, I know I am letting my community hold me and support me. All of these are wonderful and acceptable ways of participating.”
