2nd day of MerryMeet
After breakfast came the opening ritual where we charged a wonderful metal web symbolizing the "Web of Wonder" theme of the meet. After check-in Joi led a heart circle that lastet the rest of the morning. Lunch was chicken, green beans and salad so I had the latter two items for lunch. It was probably good for me. *grin* After lunch I went to a workshop with Oz on Working with Spirits. Part of the workshop was a guided meditation to find your spirit guide. I talked to a Cabocla Vielha who said she was a path of Oxossi but not my spirit guide. I asked her to take me to my Guide but instead she accompanied me back to my "safe space" and we hardly got to talk before the journey was over. I get the feeling I'm supposed to talk to her more. Perhaps she is the Wise Old One that Exu told me to talk to awhile back instead of the Cigana Vielha.
Naturally, they got to the interfaith report before I got back. After such a slow morning the report part evidently went pretty quick. Oh well. I needed to do that workshop. I got back in time for a few other reports and then candidate statements. Compared to the hard stuff on the agenda I am not sure we got a lot done. *sigh* Rayna had borrowed Baldr's van and took Canu, Don, Anna, Elvis and me into Santa Fe to a great restaurant called La Chosa where we had wonderful New Mexican food and great conversation. We went down to old Santa Fe and walked around the square after dinner and then came back to Sunrise Springs. We had missed the evening ritual and D&A and I thought about looking for the bardic circle but were just feeling kind of hammered and went to our room to read. Sometime later we were joined by Rayna, Elvis and Jeff and talked about the proposed bylaws amendments for awhile. Like NCLC they are against lifting term limits. I hope that is the general feeling! Eventually we got to sleep but it was a fairly broken sleep with folks talking loudly at 4am and other disturbances.
