Conference Rescheduled Due To COVID Omicron Surge
Dear Beloved Community:
It is with a heavy heart that we are, once again, postponing the Sacred Space / Between the Worlds Conference in light of Omicron. Our boards have consistently held that the well-being of our attendees and our teachers is of paramount importance. While the vaccines and boosters are giving good protection against the worst outcomes, not everyone can be vaccinated and we are in the midst of a significant surge that is overwhelming our hospitals. As Pagans, we recognize that we have sacred responsibilities of care for all those with whom we live and cannot risk hosting a potential super-spreader event.
Our NEW CONFERENCE DATE WILL BE 4/6/2023-4/9/2023 at the Delta Hunt Valley Hotel (same hotel).
Your registration will automatically roll over to 2023 unless you request a full refund by January 31, 2022 by emailing registrar@sacredwheel.org. Our organizations, which are small nonprofits, will be taking some financial losses again given that there are expenses we will not be able to recoup. Any donations would be most welcome and are tax deductible.
For those who made their hotel reservations identified as part of the room-block, the hotel will cancel your reservation for you. If you made your hotel reservation independently without identifying as part of the conference, then you will need to cancel your room yourself.
If you have plane tickets, contact the airline and tell them that your event has been cancelled. Ask for a refund. If they will not give you a refund, ask for a voucher to use for the new dates.
We look forward to seeing you in April 2023. Please take good care of yourselves, your loved ones, and your communities. You are precious beyond measure. May you be safe and be well.
The Sacred Space and Between the Worlds Boards
An email is being sent to all registrants as well with more details.

Masking Policy
In light of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, we are likely to require masking except when eating, lecturing, or performing a speaking role in a ritual. We will make a final determination closer to the event given the rapid and shifting developments in COVID-19 news. If you wish to wear a mask, for whatever reason, please feel free to do so regardless of our final masking policy. If others are wearing masks around you, please be mindful that they may also need more social distancing, especially if you are unmasked. We will have extra masks at the registration table.
Vaccination Policy for Sacred Space / Between the Worlds
In the interest of protecting our sacred, beloved community and all of our loved ones, the board of the Sacred Space Foundation and the Between the Worlds Conference have decided to require vaccination for our attendees. We recognize that there are some individuals who have medical conditions that make them ineligible for vaccines. If this describes you, please contact registrar@sacredwheel.org to make alternative arrangements that will meet our requirements for allowing you to attend safely.
Vaccines are the most effective method we have for protecting the safety of our community and those who are unable to be vaccinated. Requiring vaccines for all attendees who are able to get one gives us the best chance to be able to hold a safe conference.
Attendees will need to present proof of vaccination upon check-in at the conference. We will only record that we have verified proof of vaccination. We will not save any personal medical documents.
Acceptable proof is:
• A photograph on a device or paper of your vaccination card
• For those states that provide them, an app that shows vaccination status or vaccine passport
Future Updates
The Sacred Space Foundation and the Between the Worlds Conference leadership are closely monitoring the health and safety situation as we remain in the midst of this global pandemic. Please know that you are precious to us and that we are determined to provide a safe and sacred experience for us all. Closer to the conference, when we can account for the conditions at the time, we will announce our health and safety protocols. Please note that if our best judgment deems it necessary, we may include more safeguards than what is required by local regulations.
Our beloved friends, we miss you and look forward to when we can be with you in person.
