Well Met, Aiyanna and I discussed doing some more activities in the Idaho Falls area while we were at Pagans Night Out today. Both of us so much enjoy teaching and learning that we discussed open classes, workshops, and gatherings a bit more than usual. We were thinking on holding a few open classes on Paganism (in general) at the Library here within the next few weeks/months. First we have to finish talking over the subject matter(s) and layout a format, then of course marketing the event. We do a lot of online chatting and discussion, but would like to start 'in person' meetings as well. Speaking of on-line chats, we also are thinking on a monthly or bi-monthly open chat at our website. We have hosted some before there, but were mostly on-line meetings of the members of the KOS and the chat page isn't accessable to everyone, but we will change that if we decide to run new chats there. Also, none of us has really used our fourm on the site, and I even opened up a few topics for the Idaho Pagans to assemble there, so we need to start posting there, it can be for ongoing chat topics and discussions for everyone rather than the large amount of email that I process, although many of that is from friends, students and mentors from various other places. Seeing how traveling has quickly become expensive for us, we really want to focus more on our local pagans here in south east Idaho. By no means does that mean that we will no longer communicate or be active in the other fourms, groups and organizations that we are involved with, but we do want to continue to build and network here on a more local base. The few local pagans that we have met in the last 2 years have been all looking for the same thing; teachers/mentors, information and experiance, group gatherings/events/rituals, and a sense of community, here in this area. Together we can do that! Many Journeys, and Safe Returns Friends Shadar & Aiyanna
Well Met, Again I sit in front of the computer, and this time actually catching a few things up as my 'to-do' list is now dominating my 'in' box. Wow, what a month so far! Our 'Pagans Night Out' has been a real success, at least for the contacts and of course the conversation with our local pagans here in Idaho Falls. Our podcast has hit some record numbers for us, and shows little sign of slowing down. (BTW - a few more daily hits on the page site wouldn't hurt our ranking, so if you haven't been to it, go there, and then send your friends! Knights PodCast! ) We created a new fourm/site on Tribe.net and already we have recieved some off-line communications and inquiries.See it at South East Idaho Pagans We have had the oppertunity to meet with many people this month so far and have had a wonderful time with all. Hope we can continue to do so as well, and grow into a larger open and working community. Our schedules have altered somewhat, as they tend to do, but we have been able to dedicate more time to our dreams, goals and faith to help things happen in our lives. Well....back to work now, more things to do, and more to come.Many Journeys,Shadar & Aiyanna
