ConVocation 2027: Magic through Movement

Since 1995, ConVocation has brought together hundreds of classes and rituals each year, taught by internationally known guest speakers, published authors, and local instructors. It's four days of classes, seminars, and rituals, with drumming and entertainment every night. The event is run by the Magical Education Council (MEC), a Michigan nonprofit. 🕯2027 Theme: Magic Through Movement🕯 This year explores how cultures around the world express ritual, celebration, and community through music, song, and dance, and how intention shapes movement.
