How's it going?

Hey everyone, what's up? My name is Adam and I'm new here. I'm from Seattle, where are you guys from?

Hi Adam,

Welcome to New Dream and the Forums.

New Dream members are from all around the world. (We'll let them be specific . 

To give you an idea about some of our key volunteers—Reverend Misa is in Colorado, Ariann (president of the board) is in Arizona, and founding member, Jim Matthewson is in Nevada.

You are in a beautiful part of the world! We think Adam is asking a great question! Where are you from?

Hi Adam and everyone else!

This is a good question.  Too bad we don't have a members page, beyond what's on the website.  Maybe I'll have to start that Ning group we talked about.  (By the way, Adam, I do the web design.)

For now, I can tell you where I'm from --

I'm a gypsy and adventurer.  I am "from" and have lived in many places.

I grew up in Utah, lived Idaho a couple of years, in Seattle (SeaTac) for a year, lived in California Bay Area for about 10 years.  Then I started moving around. 

I've lived in and around Ashland, Oregon, then Mt. Shasta, CA.  From there I journeyed to Mexico and stayed for two years ... in Tepoztlan, about 1.5 hours South of Mexico City.  The past year and a half I have been back in the states, living in the Bay Area with my kids and grandkids. 

Just this last weekend it was time to move on again and I came to Cottonwood, AZ (near Sedona).  It's my first time here and will be an interesting adventure.  I trust my inner guidance to let me know when and where I should be, so I don't know how long I will stay or where I will go from here.

I hope that answered your question.  There is more about me and some of the NDF Team on the website, under Community.

I hope you will be part of what we do and what we offer.  It's a great group of people and I am happy to be part of it.  It would be great to meet you at SpiritQuest, or somewhere along the way.  Or to just be connected as part of our virtual family.

Blessings,
Ixchel

Hey Adam,
I'm from Arizona. I used to live in Oregon and I have a good friend on Whidbey Island. When I started rusting from all the rain, I moved to sunshine country. I do miss the green and all the flowers; however I love the sun particularly in winter.

Welcome to the foundation. I know you will enjoy our offerings. Rev Misa is a terrific writer and mystic. Come to SpiritQuest in June for an awesome experience of family, spirit, heart and ceremonies. We at New Dream are especially thrilled to have more men opening to the feminine nature balanced with the sacred masculine.

If there is anything we can do to support your journey to the Divine, just ask. We want to keep the foundation open to all paths to the Divine within each of us as the journey takes many forms.

Many Blessings,
Ariann
