Deaf-Friendly Pagan Events???

Merry Meet ~





I am a Deaf Pagan who is trying to find more information about Pagan gatherings, festivals, public rituals, etc. that are "Deaf-Friendly" - meaning that sign language interpreters and/or other accommodations are provided for deaf and hard of hearing participants, %26amp; efforts are taken to help such individuals feel welcomed.





As a practicing Pagan for 25+ years, finding such "Deaf-Friendly" events has been a challenge... not only for myself, but for other Deaf Pagans all around the country. While we may be a small group scattered far %26amp; wide, we also desire %26amp; deserve the opportunity to join with others in the practice of our spirituality.





I get a lot of emails from other Deaf Pagans asking about covens, rituals, gatherings, workshops, etc. in their areas that they might be able to attend. I'm now trying to create a resource list of such.





Please... if you have any knowledge of, or would be willing to assist with such events, leave a response!

Deaf-Friendly Pagan Events???
The Pagan Pride event in Fresno, California had an interpreter at the last gathering. I think most of them do, especially if you request it ahead of time. They try to be accommodating with disabilities, vegetarians and the deaf community.





Good luck! this is a good resource listing you're trying to put together. W
