Pagan Community Center of Alaska , "The Land," Willow, AK
Our mission has been to design, build, and operate a permanent sacred site and multi-use facility that will meet the gathering and educational needs of Alaska’s diverse and growing earth centered community.
The main Community Center facility in Willow will include amenities to serve earth centered spiritual pursuits. It provides rental space for public and private social events, presentations or conferences. It also displays municipal examples of sustainable resource usage and green facility construction. The site’s nature sanctuary opens many outdoor secluded sacred temple spaces for education, environmental awareness classes and workshops for your group.
Of continued importance in the design of our facility is that it maintains both socio-economic and environmentally conscious construction as we move forward with site development with the purpose of providing permanent on-going community based and earth centered activities.
PassionAndSoul - Lee Harrington
Lee Harrington is an internationally known spiritual and erotic authenticity educator, gender explorer, eclectic artist and award-winning author and editor on human erotic and sacred experience. He is a nice guy with a disarmingly down to earth approach to the fact that we are each beautifully complex ecosystems, and we deserve to examine the human experience from that lens.
As a energy and spirit worker, Lee has been serving his patron Bear since a child, but was formally dedicated to Bear’s service in 2005. His own faith background is rooted strongly in his ties to his parents who brought him up in a mixed-faith household. He was encouraged from an early age to explore as many traditions as possible, and plunged into reading any text he could, plus attending synagogue, mosque, temple, church, and circles. There found that common themes appealed to him- of a call to serve the divine, to help your fellow human, to be good stewards for the earth, and to be compassionate to one another.
Since that time Lee has served as a sacred sexuality worker and coach, ordeal priest, flesh path devotee, diviner, channel/horse/mouthpiece, guided meditation leader, path wanderer, doorway opener, and more. He leads public and private rituals, officiates weddings and handfastings, helps design rites of passage, and continues to serve as a spiritual guide and Reverend for the Passionate Fellowship. Lee also serves under the name Leannan as an Oracle and sacred-words and images artist, and his work in these fields can be seen at The Temple Oracle, and also offers professional domination, surrender and ordeal work at Sacred Consort. - See more at: http://passionandsoul.com/shaman#sthash.oKbv1NGp.dpufand spiritual support.
Temple of Apollon, Alaska
The Temple of Apollon recognizes the syncretic nature of Apollon as he manifests in other cultures, particularly in Vedic culture where some scholars believe Apollon to be a god derived from a name of Agni. As such Apollon here is honored also here as Shiva, and Artemis (the other half of his unity expressed as twins in Hellenic culture) as Parvati. Worshipers of Apollon and Artemis through their names names expressed in various other cultures are welcome to give worship here as well.
If you live in the Anchorage area and love Apollon and Artemis, or feel inclined in some fashion to give them worship, please do join us for our festivals in celebration of them.
