UPDATE: Please help us select a time for a members only meeting to discuss plans for the SPC after the closing:
—–
Since the announcement of the Sacred Paths Center’s [SPC] plans to close the 777 Raymond Avenue location, many concerns and questions have been raised.
We welcome an open discussion, particularly where it will help Pagans create stronger community centers. But we recognize that there are a wide variety of viewpoints of the SPC, how it got here, and plans for its future, and some of those opinions are very emotionally charged. It is not an exaggeration to say that many feel personally hurt by what is happening, and sometimes maintaining a civil conversation is difficult.
To help encourage a polite and respectful discussion about the future of the SPC and its many offshoots, we are planning an event where the membership will be empowered to meet and exchange ideas and information about the closing, and to discuss plans for the continuation of the SPC or its components.
That event will be announced via the usual email and social media channels. We do not yet know if it will be one meeting or many, and whether the public will be welcome to all of them or if they will be members only. Our volunteers are still focused on creating the most beneficial path to closing the 777 Raymond Avenue location, so we may not have plans finalized for some time.
Until that time, we would like to ask that the community maintain a positive outlook, and visualizes a beneficial outcome for all.
And, above all, please be respectful, loving, and supporting of yourself, and of our wide community and its many members.
