Meet the SteerCo
Every organization has those among them who feel called to lead. That's a good thing... because otherwise, none of the awesome events, rituals, witch camps, gatherings, etc. would happen! Our Arizona Reclaiming Steering Committee (SteerCo) is made up of a team of volunteers who are passionate about creating a welcoming, active environment that embodies the Principles of Unity. Each member brings their own, unique perspective to the SteerCo and to the larger group. We actively amplify the voices of our larger community, and are always open to your ideas and needs! If you ever have a comment, question, idea, or concern, you can reach out to any of us online or in person at an event.
In all of our workings and decision-making, the SteerCo keeps in mind the guiding principles from our sacred doctrine, especially:
Each of us embodies the divine.
We foster the questioning attitude, and honor intellectual, spiritual and creative freedom.
We strive to teach and practice in ways that foster personal and collective empowerment, to model shared power and to open leadership roles to all.
We make decisions by consensus, and balance individual autonomy with social responsibility.
We work to create and sustain communities and cultures that embody our values, that can help to heal the wounds of the earth and her peoples, and that can sustain us and nurture future generations.
Once you are part of our private Facebook community, you can contact any of the SteerCo members by private message. To join, fill out our contact form, and FynSidian will be in touch!

She is a movie and Disney nerd, and she loves pop culture, dinosaurs, cryptids, and spending time outdoors.
