Things change quickly these days. My hopes to host the gatherings this fall at the EHOP have been set aside. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the success in recruiting that I was hoping for, and without enough people involved, the project was too expensive to take on for now. And in the meantime, the dates in November filled up and the next availability isn’t until March. Darn.

But in other news, my spirits are high. An alternative plan is emerging, and it could be more simple and better after all. I am thinking I could shift the venue to my home!

In the near term, I am focused on hosting an IN-PERSON version of the mind-body skills groups. So far, I have always hosted on Zoom, and I think there is a heightened potency when we gather in a space together. I am planning to run a 2-month cycle from Sept-Oct, and will be working on recruiting for that soon. I will make another post with more details, and a Doodle poll to help find the dates. 

A second project involves hosting monthly parties at the house. These parties are simple, but I imagine they might get to be big. I would like to include song circles, bonfires, dancing and a potluck meal. Maybe not all at the same event, but over time, these are the ways I like to bring people together. And I will be hosting them on the 24th of each month. I will be using Facebook, IG and other social media to help spread the word. It is a kind of social art project. I’ll continue writing about my “career” project here.

At some point, I would like to shift to a new website. I’ve considered creating an email list, but I kind of prefer to post my content for people to come find, rather than filling up their in-baskets. If you are reading, I appreciate you. I’m not sure how many of you there are, but it is nice to share with you in this way, and I plan to keep writing. So thank you again, and until next time.
