The evening’s proceeds will go towards the Toronto Pagan Conference. The intent of the conference is to bring Pagans and Non-Pagans together from across Canada and from around the world with the aim to develop networks among the different groups and individuals on their spiritual paths and to better educate those who are still seeking a spiritual path. It is an event that invites both Pagans and Non-Pagans to join in a conference environment to learn and better understand the aspects of what Paganism is in our thriving, modern society. For more information about the conference and paganism please visit our website, www.torontopaganconference.com.
