Organizing Team

Hey there, my name is Stephen (he/him) and I've been involved in the Reclaiming Tradition since 2015 as a student, priestess and (recently) a teacher. I project managed the 40th anniversary Spiral Dance in 2019 as well as the first on-line Spiral Dance.  I live in occupied Lisjan Chechenyo territory otherwise known as Oakland, California. I am an immigrant to Turtle Island, born in Aotearoa (otherwise known as New Zealand).

I'm really excited to be on the organizing team for Pleasures of Beltane. I have a history of producing theatre as well as the Spiral Dance and am eager to bring these skills to making this camp a huge success! Reclaiming needs a dedicated place to explore all acts of love and pleasure in a magical, consensual, ecstatic, sacred container!

Hi! I’m Jill (she/her). I am primarily a solitary witch who was born and raised on Turtle Island on the ancestral, and unceded homelands of the Gabrieleño Tongva and Gabrieleño Kizh peoples. I currently reside in territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, otherwise known as Oakland, California, with my partner, our cat and 33! year old snake.

I have been involved with Reclaiming off and on since 2002 when I went to my first Brigid ritual. In later years I returned for Spiral Dance, core classes, witch camps, and have since been weaving Reclaiming magic with my own personal practice. Having produced theatre, web sites and more, I am thrilled to help support this community create a weekend of pleasure and exploration of sacred sex magic.

Hi, I’m Starsinger (she/they)!  I am an elemental witch, priestess, and embodied energy worker.  As a domme, I delight in the transformative ritual of power exchange, with sensuality, laughter, and mutual respect as integral parts of the interaction.  A jubilantly exhibitionist transplant from the dungeons of New York City, I currently live in San Antonio, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Payaya, a tribe of the Tāp Pīlam Coahuiltecan Nation.

I am an ecstatic, a teacher, a dabbling writer, an ardent traveler; undone by words, music, dance, oceans, mountains, Lapsang Souchong, mystery, and strong, vulnerable people.  As a member of a local Dianic circle, I have taught and/or priestessed numerous intensives, retreats, and classes, and was privileged to participate in a year-long Reclaiming Priestess Apprenticeship in Portland.  A ritual facilitator for over twenty years, I am so excited to bring my skills, desires, and enthusiasm to Pleasures of Beltane.  I look forward  to weaving the web of sex magic with y’all! 

“My Love is Mystical, My Love is Carnal….”

Hello, I’m Sharon Pink (she/her) and I live my time on Squamish, Musqueam, Tsleil Waututh and  Sq'éwlets territory, striving to be a respectful guest through reparations, listening, tending the earth and responding to calls to action. 

I’m a queer leatherFemme witch, Tarot reader and priestess who has been part of kink communities since 2009, joining Reclaiming community in 2012 where I began teaching in 2017.  You’ll find me organizing, teaching and priestessing workshops, rituals and classes on divination, kink, magic and art, organizing leather care hangouts and other community connecting events.

My ancestral lineages from Portugal and Poland have been a portal for my close, yet quiet, connections with Wilgefortis and Marzanna. Both of these beings remind me of the importance of re-mything stories to account for a perspective different from what we are often shown.

I aspire to be in ways that are anti-white supremacy, fat liberatory, gender affirming, leatherQueer celebratory, Elder & crone honoring and sex worker positive.

Hi! I'm Alyssa Rose (she/her). I am an eclectic Pleasure Witch, Reclaiming Priestess, Mother, Lover and Magic-Maker from Northern California living on unceded Pomo and Coast Miwok land. I have been a part of North Bay Reclaiming communities since 2016 and I am a magic maker from birth. I have long been fascinated by the mysteries of our Earth and Universe and the power of harnessing sensuality in all parts of our lives. I am a forever-seeker of pleasure, growth, and knowledge and creating intersectional, inclusive spaces to connect, learn and expand.

I am a kinky, bisexual, polyamorous witch who approaches the world with an anarchist mindset. I have been attending Pleasures of Beltane since our first year, it has been such a transformative experience for me and I hope it is for you too!

Hello, I’m rowan! (they/them). I’m an agender trans person, leatherqueer, kinky freak, sub and exhibitionist.  I’ve been involved with Reclaiming since 2017, and am a member of the Earthspirit community.  My personal practice is focused on the ancestral healing, erotic embodiment, devotion to the land and to my trancestors (they do not rest in peace, they rise in power). 

I’m an anarchist, plant devotee, lover of song, dancer and bodyworker. I believe deeply in the power of carework and femme labor.  I’m a third gen euro-american, whose people came from Ireland, Lithuania, Sicily and Scotland. You’ll find me facilitating spaces at the intersections of politicized ancestral reconnection, herbalism & somatics through my practice, of hawthorn and yew.  I live and love on w. Abenaki land, in the highlands between the green and white mountain ranges.
