PRESENTERS

 

Jonathan Vaughn, MA, MPA, is doctoral candidate in Depth Psychology—Jungian and Archetypal Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute. He is an experienced nonprofit and university fundraiser, as well as an actor, writer, and photographer. His current research focuses on the psychology of place, particularly in an age of climate crisis.

Patricia Robin Woodruff is a polymath, author, artist and Priestess. Her Łemko heritage from the remote Carpathian mountains started her on a path of intense study of Slavic Pagan beliefs resulting in her spirit-led initiation as a Łemko bosorka (a type of shamanic witch). Having read over 4,000 sources on the subject, Woodruff can provide new insights into the indigenous beliefs of the European/ Slavic continent and surrounding lands.

 

Areeya Marie  is a Priestess in Residence, co-caretending at The Goddess Temple Dedicated to Sekhmet, in Cactus Springs, NV.  She describes herself as “an Interfaith Minister, Priestess, Artist, Vegetarian Chef, Multicultural Ceremonialist and Medical Qigong Practitioner who has worked in large scale Themed Prop Construction and Fabrication, Visual/SacredSound Art, Sacred Scent Creation and Private Chef venues.”
