History
In 1993, a woman decided to bring Witch Camp to the mid-Atlantic region. This event, held every year in the mid-Atlantic region since, spawned an interest in continuing the Camp experience. The people who volunteered to help put on Camp each year began organizing local workshops, core classes that teach Reclaiming Tradition principles, and community-building events. The group of people who volunteered their time in these efforts eventually became "SpiralHeart", and SpiralHeart officially became a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational institution in 1998. You can read the full story of how SpiralHeart began here.
Structure
We are a group of volunteers who occasionally receive scholarships or a stipend for the events we help organize or teach. Our organization is based on "cells", where groups of people work on specific issues. Each cell is headed up by two or more "co-cell chairs", for whom ultimate responsibility for the group's work resides. We meet bi-monthly (on average). Meetings involving input from all the cells use consensus process (where everyone must come to support, but not necessarily fully agree upon, specific proposed actions). Each individual cell is also encouraged to use the consensus process amongst its members, but not every action requires it.
Organizers
The organizers' main focus is on putting on Camp each year, with a secondary focus on hosting specialized workshops. Organizational meetings are open to any SpiralHeart community member who wishes to attend. Issues for proposal are called for and circulated at least two weeks before a meeting via an email list, and meeting minutes are published via the same list afterwards. As of the current date, the organizational cell structure is as follows:
