Randy suggested that I get in touch with you about the possibility of pouring a lodge for the Olympic Men's Council. There's a discussion group for the sweat there if you want to join in. You can also call me at 206-261-5286
As I remember it's been about 10 years since we were in that sacred space together. I'd be honored to share that with you again soon.
Cheers,
Scott
Any interest in getting to know each other? I live in Indianola, and am in Poulsbo often. Drop a note when time permits. Brian
