Oracle Village - Offerings and Ceremonies
Below is a tentative schedule of our days together
at Oracle. This is to provide us with some idea
of the focus for our ceremonies and the kind of
offerings we will be doing. This page will be
undergoing frequent revision as village members
send us descriptions of offerings and as the ceremonies
are further developed.
Offerings are coordinated by Susan Gilliland
(susan@gilliland.net)
and Pirkko Miller (pirkko@embarqmail.com)
