Do you wish to be a healer? A reader? A teacher? A ritualist? Many of us seek to offer our skills and gifts in service, but do not know how. Others take on the mantle of priest, priestess, or minister, and struggle to find how to work in the world. Join Christopher Penczak, who has been a full-time professional Witch in some capacity since 1998, in this nine-month course to explore how, why, and if you should enter into the world of the public, professional Witch.
We shall approach the topic from many angles, including services, ministry, and business logistics. Together, explore your motivation, vision, and how to set yourself up to be successful in this work. Understand what services you are qualified to offer and what ones you are not. Separate fact from fallacy and manage your expectations. Learn how to work with clients and students. Explore larger ministry involving activism and community building. Look at the logistics and management of being an independent practitioner in a busy, competitive world.
