Carolina Spirit Quest - History




































 


Since 1996, CSQ has held annual events in April. We grew from 45 attendees in 1996 to 82 in 1998. In 1999 our attendance fell to 68 due to cancellations because of the change of venue, but we recovered with an attendance of 76 in 2000. CSQ 2001 and 2002 both had over 100 participants.

In 2004, we moved the spring event to Wm. B. Umstead State Park in Raleigh, NC.

We've tried to add new workshops, new programs, new ideas and most importantly, new people each year. We learn new things each time we hold an event and we try to make improvements as we go.

This section of our pages has some of the information from past events. You can get a feel for what we've tried to do in the past here and an indication of what the future might be.

In Fall 2001 we added QuestSpecials with "Blood, Stones and Runes."

Our First Winter Quest was held In January 2003 at Fairy Stone State Park near Martinsville, VA. We are working on our fifth for January 2007.

In concert with three other Pagan non-profits, CSQ helped put on the first Pagan Leadership Skills Conference (PLSC in July 2004. The second PLSC in August of 2005 was sucessful and the consortium is planning another for August 2006 in the Richmond, VA area. The PLSC is a four-day gathering for networking, resource sharing, and in-depth training in the "nuts and bolts" skills necessary to create, maintain, and strengthen local Pagan initiatives.
