The GoodSearch site is a portal for online shopping (like the United Mileage Plus Online Mall or similar portals).  If you purchase something online by going to this site first and clicking on the list of shopping merchants, a percentage of your purchase will be donated to All Seasons Chalice. You can use almost all the popular shopping sites: Target, Sierra Trading Post, Overstocks.com, Gaiam, REI, Circuit City, Drugstore.com, Vitamin Shoppe, Office Depot, etc. Amazon, too! And you can even go to Fandango from this site to purchase your movie tickets and have a portion of each ticket donated to ASC.

This is an easy way to donate to The StarHouse, simply by doing things most of us do every day on the internet.

UNSEEN WORLDS: PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT. A new four-part class with Anastacia Nutt co-founder and facilitator of The Path of the Ceremonial Arts. Just beyond the boundaries of our own world, there are adjacent or unseen worlds populated with energies and beings that belong to and function within their world(s) as we belong to and function within our own. As humans we dwell within the physical world however, we do not always confine our activities to that world. Our participation in particular forms of meditation, divination and ritual allows us to commune with the beings and energies of adjacent worlds. Similarly, the beings of adjacent worlds do not always confine their activities their own worlds; they also elect to surround, permeate and impact the physical world. The interactions between human beings and beings/energies of the unseen worlds are the focus of this class. Many people new to spiritual and magical practices are uncertain how to work with and what to expect from the beings and energies of the unseen worlds. In this class you will acquire the skills and tools that allow you to clearly know who/what to embrace and who/what to avoid in your otherworldly endeavors. This four-part class meets once per week during the weeks of May 12th thru June 1st. Cost $150 with some sliding scale consideration is available. The exact evening of the week (M-F) we meet from 6-9pm will be determined based upon interested persons best availability, if you are interested in this course, please email Anastacia directly at ascpr@thestarhouse.org. with your weekday night availability.
