We serve the DC Metro Area, and welcome members from Northern VA, DC and Maryland.
Vela places an emphasis on grove learning with many classes available both in person and online for those who are dedicated. With Blue Star’s tradition of a laity/congregation, we realize that not everyone wants or is suited for initiation and clergy, and have created many classes for those who choose to stay as dedicants as well as those who choose to continue on the path towards initiation.
Please visit our website for more information. There is a form to fill out if you are interested in joining us.
