Monthly Kindred Circle

Join us each month as we gather to honor the Gods, the Ancestors, and find strength in our collected community.

Join us for our next community gathering on Saturday, August 1st, as we come together in fellowship, prayer, and shared tradition.

Location: 87 Main St., Newport News, VA
5:30 PM – Doors Open & Setup (Volunteers Needed)
6:00 PM – Circle Begins
7:30–8:00 PM – Feasting & Fellowship
8:00–8:30 PM – Cleanup (Volunteers Needed)

During our gathering we will share in:
• Welcoming the Gods, Ancestors, and Spirits
• Offerings and Libations
• Goði Ryan's reflection, "What Makes a Kindred," exploring the bonds that transform a gathering of individuals into a true spiritual family, with reflections inspired by the wisdom of Odin, Tyr, Freyja, and Heimdall.
• Traditional Sumbel (come prepared with a toast if you wish)
• Community News & Upcoming Events
• Kindred Voices – A time for members of our community to share announcements, request prayers or spiritual mindfulness, celebrate accomplishments, or seek the support and wisdom of the Kindred.

Whether this is your first gathering or you've stood in the circle many times before, you are welcome to join us in fellowship and reverence.

As always, donations of time, food, and financial support are deeply appreciated and help us continue building an inclusive Norse and Hellenic religious community.

Many hands strengthen the Kindred. We look forward to seeing you there.

Skål!

We are currently exploring additional locations, days, and times to find what best serves the community. Please check on the specific Circle for confirmed Time & Place.

Typically, the flow of Circle is:

Doors open at 6:30
Service runs from 7:00 - 9:00
Feasting is from 9:00 - 9:30
We say goodnight to our guests by 10:00

Refreshments, drink for ritual toasts, and grains for offerings are provided every service. Contributions for the communal feast are welcomed.

Personal offerings for the fire are always welcomed and encouraged no matter what path of faith you follow.

What To Expect

Here's what a typical service is like with our Kindred.

• Everyone is welcome — Whether you're Norse Pagan, Hellenic, another path, or just exploring, you're welcome in our circle.

• We begin with a horn and a call to gather — It sets the tone and brings our focus to the sacred work ahead.

• The Goði and Priestess guide the service — Through storytelling, prayer, ritual, and reflection, drawing from Norse and Hellenic traditions.

• We honor the gods, the ancestors, and the land — Through word, song, and offerings.

• Community participation is encouraged — You’re invited to join in responses, share a toast or story, or just observe quietly.

• There are moments of silence and moments of joy — Some parts are meditative, others are full of laughter, howls, and applause.

• Families and children are welcome — Many of our members bring their little ones, and we make space for them to be part of the community.

• No experience required — We provide guidance throughout, and you’re never expected to know everything.

• A feast or fellowship follows — Stick around, share a meal, and get to know your Kindred.
