Pagan Interest Circle
PICT
PICT conducts monthly rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, starting at 7:00 p.m. Our mission is to create a place for Unitarian Universalist Pagans to practice our spirituality in community, as well as for those who are interested in Paganism and Unitarian Universalism to learn and worship with us. If you'd like to participate, please email us here.
WHO WE ARE
For over 20 years the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian  Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of  CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and  Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.
Upcoming
The Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) celebrates both moon and sun rituals this December.
