Yon rising Moon that looks for us again—
How oft hereafter will she wax and wane;
How oft hereafter rising look for us
Through this same Garden—and for one in vain! — Omar Khayyám, Rubáiyát #100

How to get involved with Orlando Pagan Collective

While the Orlando Pagan Collective encourages our members to volunteer and has several different committees that help run events, the best way to begin your involvement in the OPC is by attending one of our events.  In the last couple of years, OPC has hosted over forty events.  The majority of our events are free and open to the Pagan community.

Every Month we hosts several different events.  Moon Circle and Pagan Picnic are among those events.  We also host eight Sabbats through out the year and classes on various topics.

The Pagan Picnic is one of the most popular regular events held in Orlando's beautiful Langford Park.  It is a chance for all of us to get out of our houses and into the fresh air for a day of fun.  It is held the third Sunday of the month from 1pm to 5pm.  For more information check out the Calendar page.

Moon Circle is our monthly open Esbat.  It is held in conjunction with the Mystic Grove Pagan Group at the First Unitarian Church of Orlando on the Wednesday closest to the full moon at 7pm. Each Moon circle is a unique experience.  Topics ranging from the how to celebrate the phrases of the moon or upcoming holiday to how to make loose incense or candles.  Moon Circle is a free event and the space is donated by Mystic Grove.  For more information please visit the Regular events page.  We encourage groups to get involved by hosting our Moon Circle.
