A. January 2012

Retreats:

The discussion about real life retreats continued into January. At the same time a few tried to plan a retreat in Northern Ireland. There was much heartfelt discussion about retreats. Almost everyone who had attended one valued the experience but the expense and time for travel, as well as the commitment to a weeklong retreat lead to a decling attendance. Only three were commited to the retreat being planned.  In the end it was decided to take a break from RL retreats for now in favor of shorter, less formal meetups such as the one in Berlin.

New Guardian: Tess Aristocrat became a guardian in January.
