Maeve

Maeve is a founding member of Hands of Change Coven. Her background is in traditionalist Wicca, with training in ceremonial magick, South American Shamanism, and Eastern studies. She received extensive training as a ritual priestess in spell craft, color healing work, and Wiccan religious methodology in Georgia, where she was a member of two covens. She has shared this knowledge with others in the public rituals and classes she has conducted at both the Caduceus Festival and HOC's Annual Pagan Picnic. She has been studying Tarot for over 25 years, and teaches classes on this subject, as well as others. As a Kore member, she created Hands Of Change's initial charter agreement, helped design our circle building rituals, and led the way in locating out-door space for our Sabbat rituals. Her wealth of Wiccan knowledge and theory, and pagan music enriches the group.

Gaia

Gaia (Charlene Dzielak) has been a member of Hands of Change Coven since Imbolc 2000 and has been following a Nature oriented lifestyle all her life. A camper and gardener since childhood, she is well versed in the interconnection between all of creation. Her many hobbies and interests include canoeing, birding, hiking, herbology, tarot, rocks and minerals, reading, and the study of nearly anything in Nature.

In 2003, she and her family purchased 25 wooded acres in Old Bridge, NJ where they are in the process of creating Gaia’s Garden Grove (AKA G3), a festival and group campsite dedicated to spirituality and providing a place for humans to relearn the lessons offered by Mother Earth. A recent widow, Gaia lost her husband of 30 years in March 2004 to cancer. She has a son and two daughters in their twenties, and a young granddaughter, all of whom are helping to create G3 and who will live with her in their newly constructed main house onsite once it is finished. Projected date for move-in is July 2005.
