Two dates for the calendar

GlastonburyA couple of dates for readers of mine to be aware of.

First, if you happen to be in or near Providence, RI on June 22, 2024, the 7th annual Ecosophia midsummer potluck will be held at the house of Peter Van Erp, right across the street from the Charles Dexter Ward house in Providenc.e. (I can't promise that Charles or Lydia will put in an appearance, but here's hoping!) Details and signup sheet are here, and whoever's coming from furthest away has a room waiting in Peter's house.

Second, an Ecosophian gathering is being arranged in Glastonbury, England, on June 6-8 of 2025 -- yes, a little over a year from now -- and I'll be there. Current plans are for a ramble through the historic sites on the 6th, followed by two days of talks and discussions at the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms; tickets for the whole shebang will be around £50-£60. For more information or to register, you can contact Bridge at ecosophianconvention at gmail.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at one or the other -- or both!

If it's not too late, I would be up for a similar thing in RI. Talks maybe too late, but what about rambling about historical sites?

this is just wonderful.
(hint, hint: someone should do a mini doc of this! this is a Very Big Historic Deal!)

Exciting news. All being well, I will make every effort to come down to the Glastonbury Moot.

Denman Island Ecosophia Picnic

(Anonymous) 2024-05-23 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Everyone,
We are having a picnic on Saturday 13 July at my farm on Denman Island British Columbia, Canada. People can come for the farm tour at 11 a.m. and the picnic at noon. My address is 2001 Scott Road, Denman Island BC. My telephone number is 250-335-1088. I hope to see some local Ecosphians there. If anyone need picking up from the ferry landing, we can do that.

Hmmm. I could then visit my aunt in Langley and make it a nice holiday.

I’ve got to get my passport updated since Canada has made it mandatory.

We'll be there Maxine. We also have room for 1 or 2 more if we can co-ordinate ferry times.
Looking forward to it!

Thank You! I will be in Glastonbury for sure and I will do my best to keep my composure and not behave like a rabid fan.

Good to know

Hmmm.Interesting. England is not as far as the US, and a year is plenty of time. I see what i can arrange.

Funnily enough, I was just in Glastonbury the other day, and imagining how cool it would be to go on a little walking tour of the area with JMG and the other ecosophians. Guess I was picking up on something in the air. I'll be there! Looking forward to it already.

This looks good and the date's in the diary. Haven't been to Glastonbury for years and this will be an excellent reason to visit again.

Morning John
Wonderful news you will be coming to Glastonbury. That’s a bit of a trek for me. But I will figure out a solution as I’m keen to attend and Glastonbury has been on my bucket list for some time.
Kind regards Averagejoe

Rollright Stones

JMG, if you fancied a trip to the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire we could pick you up at Charlbury station. It's a lovely spot, with a fabulous view, and Earthworm's labyrinth is in the woods right next to the stones.

Quietly reserving beginning of June for Vacation.

Hello!

(Anonymous) 2024-05-26 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Brilliant! You coming to the UK is such great news JMG!

I had a tour around Avebury recently and sent you the comment and question about the remains with long skulls in the mounds in there, which have been completely ignored by academia/archeologists for years. I think I sent you the link to our guide's book as well?

Anyway, the lady that did the tour - Maria - mentioned that she thinks that some of these sites, were also used to follow/track lunar alignments and there's one occurring next year in Avebury...

Funny thing is that I thought about asking you about this and for a moment considered that it'd be great if you were there next year...crazy stuff!

I was hoping one of these days when you had the time you would read the book and maybe write a post about Stonehenge, Avebury, etc...

Definitely going to book to see you, apologies if I sound a bit like a crazy fan also trying to sell you something, it's just there's no one else to talk about random stuff like this

Thanks!

Sorry for bothering.

I tried to send an e-mail to ecosophianconvention @ Gmail but received a pop up message saying that the e-mail adress was not recognized. Is there any alternative method to contact Bridge? Is that sabotage by Gmail?

Thank You in advance

Just tried to send it one more time and this time it seems that everything went well.
Must have been gmail messing up.
Thank You and sorry for bothering you.
