Monthly Drumming Circle for Experienced Journeyers
Saturday, April 11, 2-4 pm
RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033
By whatever name – trance, shamanic journeying, inner council work – if you’re already experienced with drum-driven journey practices, please join us for ceremony, journeying, explorations, drumming, and community. Hone your skills and visit with your Guides, within a circle of like-minded, supportive humans.
This is a circle, not a class, and beginning-to-advanced journeying ability is required. We’ll generally have time for several journeys: first on a theme of your own choosing, then others with varying intentions, applications, and styles of working. The options for exploration are unlimited!
You're welcome to bring:
— a drum or rattle
— journaling materials
— a small blanket or yoga mat
— an "eye-curtain," bandana or other eye-covering
— mainly, bring your own good intentions. All other items are optional.
Please take note: This is drum- and rattle-driven journeying. Our policy is that this gathering is not the place for sacred plant practices or any consciousness-altering substances. Your participation will be taken as your agreement to honor this policy.
Sliding fee: $8, $12, or $16. Please sign-up in advance through Ritualcravt.
Facilitated by Renna Shesso. “I’ve been guiding journey groups since 2007, and offering other styles of ceremonial gatherings for longer than that. These practices – deeply personal though they are – were born and flourished within communities – humans gathering together in united energies and intentions, through hundreds of generations, in all times and places. When we circle together, we’re a continuing part of that.”
Candle Magick
Sunday, April 26, 2-4 pm
RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033
Real-world challenges?
Magical leverage can unsnarl them.
Candle magick is a powerful way of spell-working. It engages heart, head and all of our sensory awareness. Using a candle as focal point, you’ll learn practical techniques and some big secrets for performing successful spells. From these basics, we'll look at how to custom-design beautiful and effective spells, from start to finish, including the follow-through: Getting results you can use.
Abracadabra, indeed. (Aramaic : Abraq ad habra = “I will create as I speak”)
Please bring:
— Note-taking materials
Fee: $34 includes Renna’s small book, Candle Magick. Click here to register with RitualCravt.
Teacher Renna Shesso has been designing and working effective candle-spells for several decades.

Quintessential Tarot - a 5-session series
Five Sundays: May 24, 31, June 7, 14, 21, 29. 2 pm - 4 pm
RitualCravt,
7700 W 44th Ave,
Wheat Ridge CO 80033
Q: How can I plan for a future that’s unknown?
A: By knowing - by having more information!
The Tarot is a tool to illuminate our personal road maps. It overlaps many other disciplines, all expressed here through art. Specifically, this is art that delivers practical information wrapped in a sensory visual experience. As we craft an ever-stronger working alliance with the cards, magic happens.
We’ll begin with thorough orientations:
• the Minor Arcana via the elements (Week 1)
• the Court Cards for identity and connection (Week 2)
• the Major Arcana with myths and archetypes (Week 3)
and then take this material into
• alliance-deepening personal work (Week 4)
• reading the Tarot for yourself and for others, and for maximum personal creativity and well-being (Week 5).
This series is for beginners and beyond. Please allow a minimum of two hours every week for take-home assignments between class sessions.
Please bring:
— Note-taking materials
— A fully illustrated tarot deck, i.e. instead of simply seeing three Cups, you’ll see people/beings interacting with three Cups. I recommend the Smith-Waite tarot deck (aka Rider-Waite-Smith, RWS). Ritualcravt carries several different versions, and I’ll have loaner decks on hand the first night, so you can see several before making your own choice.
Every session of the course includes:
— Extensive handout pages
— Large, vivid explorations of the artwork – Tarot is a visual medium!
— Hands-on practice with readings and exercises
Fee: $175 for the series. This link takes you to Ritualcravt's info and registration page.
I've been reading cards professionally for over 20 years, and using tarot as a personal tool of exploration for much longer. I teach this material as a witch, a tarot reader, a shamanic practitioner, and a serious researcher-author.
Introduction to Spirit-Guided Journeying
Saturday, June 13, 2026, 2-4 pm
RitualCravt
7700 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge CO 80033
We each have a personal direct-line to spirit, but we may need to reawaken that line and learn how to access it. The spiritual practices of Animism - often called Shamanism - offer an ancient and profound pathway into Spirit, and this short class is an introduction to the trance-work of "journeying," a vital skill for this path.
The ability to intentionally shift into a trance state and commune with our spirit-plane helpers is an asset to many spiritual paths, and journeying is one very dependable means of doing that - for guidance, for healing, and for the outright joy of direct connection with Spirit.
In this gathering, we'll play with the rudiments of drum-driven journeying to begin meeting the personal allies that live in that place of spirit.
Welcome to this empowering path!
Please bring/wear:
— Note-taking materials
— Comfortable clothes you can move around and lie down in
— A bandana/scarf eye-covering (for maximum darkness)
— Optional: your own small blanket or yoga pad.
Fee: $30. To register, please visit the RitualCravt website.
This is a great starting point if you'd like to attend the monthly Drumming Circles at RitualCravt.
