Laura Perry is the founder and Temple Mom of Ariadne’s Tribe, a worldwide inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition. She is also a Wiccan priestess, a Reiki master, an artist, and a longtime herbalist and fiber artist. She has been writing all her life, but her first book was published in 2001. She writes pagan and magical-themed fiction and non-fiction and has also created a Minoan Tarot deck and coloring book. When she’s not busy writing, painting, or leading rituals, you can probably find her digging in the garden or giving a living history demonstration at a local historic site.

Laura will be offering the following workshops and ritual at Phoenix Phyre 2025: 

​

Ariadne’s Tribe Ritual: Together We Are Joy!  Join Laura Perry as she shares a colorful and lively ritual celebrating the joy of connection with the divine. Meet the Great Mothers, Thumia, Kaulo and other Minoan deities – and discover the joy of embodied community. This experience will be framed by the Tribe ritual format with its six sections: Preparing, Inviting, Welcoming, Offering, Listening, and Returning. We’ll explore and express the joy of sound and movement in our bodies as a way to connect with the deities and each other. No singing or dancing experience is necessary. If you have a body, you’re qualified to participate. People of all levels of physical ability are invited to join; this is an accessible celebration. Together we are joy!

 

Inclusive Minoan Spirituality in the Modern World.  Join Ariadne’s Tribe founder and Temple Mom Laura Perry as we explore the ancient Minoan deities and discover how we can develop relationships with them in the modern world. Meet Ariadne, the Minotaur, the Snake Goddess, Dionysus, the Great Mothers and more as we explore the Minoan family of deities and the Ariadne’s Tribe sacred calendar. Ariadne’s Tribe is a fully inclusive tradition, open to all who are interested in connecting with the Minoan deities in the modern world. This revivalist tradition is especially relevant in this era of change and evolution, with a focus on egalitarianism and inclusivity and the recognition of the sacred in our everyday lives.

 

The Labyrinth: A Sacred Journey through the Worlds.  What is a labyrinth? Is it a complicated maze that you can get lost in, or is it something else entirely? In this workshop we’ll explore the history of the labyrinth, its many different manifestations in different eras and cultures, and its use in contemporary spirituality. Discover the meaning the labyrinth can bring to us as modern pagans of many different paths, and learn how we can incorporate both physical and energetic labyrinths into our spiritual practice.
