<span style="font-size: 11pt; -webkit-font-kerning: none;">Our next meeting is on Thursday November 23 from 2-5 pm. This meeting is longer than usual so that we have time to experience “The Council of All Beings” together. We will be making masks and donning
the identity of a non-human Being. Please bring any mask making supplies that you are happy to share, such as scissors, glue, markers, pencils, construction paper, items gathered from nature (leaves, feathers, pebbles, plant parts, sticks) etc. (It is also
fine if you don't bring anything, there will be plenty available).</span></p>
