Recent events have ushered us into a time when it is increasingly unsafe to be different. Whether the difference is rooted in religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or race, individuals and communities face growing threats to their safety, identity, and very existence.

The Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought and Practice welcomes work from diverse perspectives, disciplines, and mediums, including academic papers, essays, creative works, case studies, and community-driven narratives. Presentations may address theoretical, practical, historical, or future-oriented approaches to the themes of resilience, solidarity, safety, and co-creation in the face of adversity. Join us on March 29, 2025 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (PST) as we come together to discuss such topics as - 

• How do we continue to create positive connections and nurturing Contemporary Pagan culture in a time that seeks to erase difference?
• How do we endure, support one another, and keep ourselves and our communities safe?
• When everything seems to be falling apart, how do we co-create and sustain what comes next?
• What do we need to survive and thrive in these times?
• What does it mean for something to be "enough" in the face of systemic challenges?
