3 Year Anniversary | Atlanta | Northern California

Greetings everyone,

Today we finished our 3 year apple anniversary goma! It was unique because we had all women in attendance except, of course, for Tyrone our Goma dog. The weather was stunningly perfect and one guest reported that the wind blew in two different directions simultaneously.Thanks to the work of Maryanne Davis, we were able to capture some really nice images. Please enjoy them below.
Also in other big news, we will do a Goma in Atlanta on Nov 7th. Our temple carpenter, Adam Bradley san, has also invited us to conduct one for his Aikido Dojo in Northern California. And we received a very nice invitation to do one next spring in Vermont as well. So, very exciting developments!

It's been three years

Our three year anniversary Goma will be Thursday October 28th. The October Goma is my favorite of the year for several reasons:

1. The foliage is beautiful
2. The air is cool and crisp
3. Apple Cider!
4. It's our anniversary
5. The veil between the physical and non physical worlds is very thin around Halloween

Please consider joining us and please do tell your friends.

Three years ago we performed the first public Goma with a small group of friends around a campfire. Please see www.fireceremony.org/dojo/dojo.html for pictures of then and now. It is truly amazing how much has changed in three short years.

Atlanta, GA:

Our friend in Atlanta will be hosting a Goma on Sunday, November 7th. If you are in the Atlanta area, please contact me as we would love for you to attend.
