Yeah, I'm pretty psyched. It's a smallish workshop -- I think there are six attendees, two teachers, and a teacher-in-training who will be helping out around the edges -- so in a Friday-through-Sunday event, we should have plenty of time to really get into things.
queenofhalves gives these workshops; do you know her? If you don't, you should meet her someday; she's positively wonderful.
And if you're interested in the Feri tradition, the book to read is Evolutionary Witchcraft by T. Thorn Coyle. The tradition that Feri is closest to that people have actually heard of is Starhawk's Reclaiming, except that the focus in Feri is more on improving the self so as to be a more positive force in the world, as opposed to Starhawk's greater emphasis on direct activism. Anybody who's worked with one or more activists who have MAJOR issues can understand the value of the former approach. :-)
I'm the rawest of raw beginners, but I *think* everything I said above is accurate. :-)
