Schedule

Update 2/13/2026: The schedule below is now complete and final! Until, you know, it's not. 😉 Changes may always occur if people have to drop out, but it's final as of right now.

The dates and start/end times in the table are calculated by the page and automatically shown in your local time (except the Thursday before, which is static), so if some of them seem to be at crazy times of day, they are probably slots aimed at other parts of the planet. Make sure your device's time zone is set correctly, or you will see wrong times!

Resources from these workshops (where available) will be found on the resources page.

 

 

Thursday, March 26, 2026

Check-in for the gathering will begin sometime in the evening Pacific time. Nothing formal is planned on Thursday evening, but it is a low-key "lobbycon" as people check in, take a look around, and say hello. Arethinn may stream a game for a couple of hours.

 

Presenters

Andros

Discord avatar for Andros: A fair-skinned masculine person's face, with shoulder-length black hair that hangs over one eye.

I'm an elfae (or faelf, as I sometimes style myself) who Awoke in 2007 and has been hanging around the otherkin community since 2009. I was part of the Darkfang collective, and inherited the mostly defunct Darkfang Cabal forum. Besides my involvement in the otherkin community, I was also head of Operations for a small sci-fi and fantasy convention for several years in the 2000s, and I helped run a small makerspace in the early 2010s. These days, I work in technical support at an obscure IT megacorp. When I'm not doing that, I spend most of my time streaming video games, playing tabletop RPGs, 3D printing widgets, or coaxing computing devices large and small into doing my bidding.


Arazil

Discord avatar for Arazil: A fair-skinned feminine person's face, with pointed ears, silver-white hair pulled back from the face, and silver eyes.

I am a High Elf / Sidhe Farseer who has been around the community since 1999. In the last two decades, I have helped run many different entertainment groups in a variety of formats. My hobbies mostly involve the performing arts such as belly dance, cosplay, game development, photography, and film making. In the mundane world, I am the chief cat herder and designated adult for select public sector projects involving technology and technology accessories.



Arethinn

Discord avatar for Arethinn: A color drawing of a faery being dressed in sheer bluish purple fabric, with long hair, orbs of light on her palms, and a crown of scribbled golden rays of light that resemble twigs.

I'm a sidhe-and-sometimes-dragon who has been kicking around in the otherkin community since 1998. I ran the in-person gather MythiCalia in California for four years between 2005-2010, organized the monthly San Francisco Bay Otherkin Meetup from 2011-2023, and apparently I refuse to be put off from the idea of there being gathers. I work in a library where I force MARC data into submission.



Crescendo

Picture for Crescendo: A Picrew doll of a faery with fair skin, light red hair, small antlers with leaves, and green insect-like wings. They are wearing a blue vest abd black pants and have turquoise-colored paw-like gloves or hands.

I'm a polymorph who finds home in the faerie, dragon, and merfolk communities. I first started my magical journey through joining and moderating one very small message board way back in 2005-2009, which was so disconnected from the mainstream communities that we didn't even know of the word "otherkin"... yet we experienced it all the same! I have a billion interests but when it's not video games, I mainly enjoy swimming, animals, music, art, and hoarding tarot card decks.



Ell of the Piskie Elfs

Picture for Ell: A regal fairy woman with butterfly like wings, riding a white horse through a golden forest.

Ell of the Piksie Elfs is a writer, researcher and practitioner of Fairy Genealogy. After earning a BA in Celestial Embodiment from a leading private research university, Ell went on to develop a personal practice which aligns the supernatural with the celestial- bringing to fruition a lifetime of connection to the world of magic and Fayerie. Ell has since dedicated their time and energy to advising Incarnated Fairy Beings, offering consultations and guided trance-like meditations to help individuals trace and understand their Fairy Genealogy.

KinDD (Bela)

Discord avatar for KinDD (Bela): A portrait of a dragon, showing their head and neck. They have greenish scales on the back of the neck and lighter cream-colored ones on the front. They have feathered wings in soft pastel rainbow hues on cream.

I'm a dragon of life who lives a life in a human body. My awakening is an ongoing process and I'm on my journey of self-discorvery since 2007. I'm very curious and want to know how how things work in this realm. Most of all I want to give hope to those in need. The world and life in general is just so vast and the one cage that really binds us is the one in our mind.




Galan

Discord avatar for Galan: A color drawing of a faery being with fair skin, red hair with a blue streak, antlers, and brown feathered wings. They are holding a brown heart-shaped object.

I'm a faery--what exactly that means is a different but equally delightful story from week to week--who awoke as such about 2 years ago, though not without a *long* series of silly little (positive) false half-awakenings and general inclinations towards being magical. I've been singing my whole life, and now write, produce, and perform music across multiple languages and genres.




Mother Multiverse

Discord avatar for Mother Multiverse: A green ouroboros dragon surrounding a purple figure of a woman sitting crosslegged with a green sphere on her lap.

A biologist, game maker, and occultist, Mother Multiverse has been practicing magic for over twenty years, focusing on chaos magick for over fifteen. In recent years, she's discovered her nature as otherkin as well as being plural. Her experience at Shining Hearth has helped one personalities journey of self and she hopes to help other's in turn.




Mythochromos

Blank silver-grey frame with no avatar picture inside it

Mythochromos is a plural system including various species.






Pine

Discord avatar for Pine

[They/Them] I am 26 years old and have been awakened as ambiguously but undeniably Fae for 11 years which I have spent among various online Otherkin communities (some better than others). I have settled into a select few wonderful Discord servers, including Shining Hearth, and I continue my antics on tumblr.com. I have a wandering mind, a kind heart, and creative hands. I am a mixed media artist by passion, a retail worker by circumstance, and a strange little creature by habit.



Rabbit

Discord avatar for Rabbit: A facial portrait of a faery being with long hair and pointed ears, drawn in shades of green. Their eyes are downcast and their hair covers one eye.

Just a vaguely fairy shaped shapeshifting critter from Aotearoa! I'm an artist and animator in my daily life, my special interests are animals, science and astronomy. I've learned about my fae-ness and joined mythfolk spaces relatively recently. I'm a green forest fairy with a penchant for shapeshifting, I also identify as humantherian/homotherian and have a fondness for species in the genus homo as well as rabbit therian.



Rose

A color painting of a delicate white unicorn bending down to drink from a pool of water.

I am an autistic nonbinary fairy unicorn dragon beast thing that loves all things fantasy and nature. I am a practicing witch, artist, writer, and video game enjoyer.





Tuiliel

Discord avatar for Tuiliel: A color drawing of a few white bells of the flower Lily of the Valley, against a blue background.

She/they. Tuatha Dé and Elf of Vanaheim. I'm a pagan and a witch and I I've been those things 20+ years and known I was fae for a little over a decade (though I had inklings before that). I've never been Super active in the community outside like this and tumblr and a couple of rl friends who are also elfae. I did a meditation presentation the first year and I've liked this event so much I keep coming back! 😊



Verastoc

Discord avatar for verastoc: A blue-grey background with a black circle in the center. On the black circle is a four-pointed star in white, with a few other small white stars behind, and the letter V in grey.

I awakened and joined various online otherkin and related communities back around 2004 and have been kicking around various groups since. Some kind of "fae-jacent" being, though the harder I look the more complicated I get - most commonly I refer to myself as either fae, other, elf, or liminal being. When not dealing with Otherworldly matters I'm primarily a diviner and pagan priest that works star magic.
