Our leadership is continually working to respond to the rapidly changing Pagan environment.  No rocket science is needed to understand that we have different needs that we did 25 or even 10 years ago.  Pagans are increasingly out of the proverbial broom closet, challenging our friends, families, coworkers and colleagues to get used to the fact that we are probably religiously-different.  Many Pagan groups need something different from the classic coven model.  Individuals are visibly involved with many aspects of society, from social justice activism to human services to politics, interfaith, PTAs and more. 

If you are paying attention you will have noticed that CHS continues to adapt and adopt programming that meets these changing needs.  We developed the Rhizomes package of short courses to build the skills of small-group leaders.  Pagan Life Academy has been well-received by incarcerated Pagans who need beginner-level print courses which also offer depth for the more experienced practitioner.  In January we launch our first Stackables courses - 6-week master's-level courses in a specific topic which earn one credit hour towards a degree (see right).  Mix and match the topics with which you would like some knowledge but don't wish to spend a 14-week semester studying. We've updated our certificate offerings. And students now enjoy the option of paying their tuition by installment over several months of the semester.

None of this comes for free, of course, and that's why we are grateful to those of you who chose to make a contribution to our Fall Drive - especially those who had already given in the spring, but felt it was important to go above and beyond.

As we continue to provide the best Pagan education available, we will be listening carefully to what you need, to the forces which are shaping your world. It is what a seminary is for, after all, helping us all make our way in this life.
