C. CAW activities and events.
CAW Nests and Proto-nests meet monthly or more often.
Water is shared and various rituals may be observed. The
sharing of water at CAW meetings is a central practice and
symbolizes (among other things) our connectedness and shared
life.

In northern California, where CAW is headquartered, we
hold seasonal, annual and one-shot events, ranging from as few
as 30 people for the annual Eleusinian Mysteries, to 300 at our
30th anniversary Grand Convocation in 1992. Our Beltane
festival is limited to 125, and has to turn many away, while
our Litha (Midsummer) festival may see 100-200 people. 75-100
people is about average for the remaining six of the eight
seasonal Sabbats. Our Men's Gathering and other special
retreats commonly have 25-50 attendees. We have our own
private land --- a 55 acre sanctuary called Annwfn, where we
hold many of these rites. We also put on and/or participate in
major public events, such as be-ins, parades and rallies, which
have had several hundred people showing up. In addition, our
various Nests around the US and Australia also put on Festivals
and other events, and some of these have had over 100
attendees.
