Patheos Pagan editor, Christine Hoff Kraemer, has issued a call<\/a> to all of the bloggers and readers here at the Pagan Portal. She\u2019d like to see us build community<\/a>. I have found that in my short time blogging at Patheos my online community has expanded significantly. It\u2019s nice. I\u2019m looking forward to meeting several of my fellow bloggers in person at next month\u2019s Pantheacon<\/a>, as well as Rhyd\u00a0 Wildermuth<\/a> when he passes through my town.<\/p>\n

In an effort to expand this community, I am taking up Christine\u2019s call and opening myself up to Skype or G+ dates with fellow bloggers or readers. Video chat isn\u2019t my favorite medium, but it\u2019s free and it\u2019s a simple way to hear another\u2019s voice, see their body language, and get a glimpse into their life. So if you would like to schedule some tea time together, I\u2019m game! I can\u2019t promise there won\u2019t be children in my lap or yelling in the background\u2026.. If you are in, around, or passing through Olympia, WA, we can even meet up in person.<\/p>\n

You can comment below or send me an email at myownashram@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s grow our community. If you don\u2019t view the wider Pagan world as a community, perhaps we can think of this Tea Time as a way to forge new alliances for the movement. Relationship and dialogue is what this blogging thing is all about, after all.<\/p>\n
