Aria Weaver Spiritual philosophy and magic have been part of Aria's life since childhood. This evolved into an active practice of paganism and witchcraft - a path she has been walking for over 15 years. Aria's spiritual work and personal interests are deeply embedded in all forms of justice, community building and empowerment. She believes that Reclaiming offers everyone the chance to learn skills that help awaken aspects of the human condition often suppressed by the dominant culture. As such, Reclaiming appeals to her desire to link the worlds of spirituality, magic and activism. It also complements Aria's experiential teaching style. Aria connects with the sacred through ritual, music, writing, watching the ocean and lying on the grass in the sun. She dreams of a sustainable and peaceful future and explores ways that we can empower ourselves and each other so that we may create positive change in the world.
