So apparently ODRC went back to an older version of Outlook, which would….you guessed it! F up Microsoft Teams. We had 6 classes this week which may not be happening. Ugh

Starting off the week with Microsoft Teams issues with ODRC. Great. Actually started last week with Mansfield and we thought it was a fluke. Apparently not. Seems they did a statewide computer upgrade of sorts & messed up a few things, this included.

If it isn’t one thing, it’s another. I need more coffee.

Heilvegr meeting this morning with the folks at Oregon State Penitentiary, then a Wiccan class with Marion Correctional, and later today a Heathen class with SEOCF in Lancaster. Getting it done!

17 years ago today I started my "vacation" in the WV regional jail system. That was when the seed was planted to do what I do now behind the prison walls. So much has happened in those 17 years...and we’re still doing the thing!

It’s a busy week for Appalachian Pagan Ministry this week. This afternoon we had class with Oregon State Penitentiary, tomorrow it’s Mansfield and Toledo Correctionals, and Thursday is NRC in Cleveland. Next week is Madison and Trumbull Correctionals. The work never stops!

It has been a week! Sunday, I took a little tumble at camp while packing out. Jarred myself harder than I realized, and here I am Thursday moving around at a snails pace. Joy.

But, we did have class with Mansfield Correctional this week. And we have also set up to do a Samhain ritual & feast with the Ohio prisons on Oct 31st. That will be a first since we have started the online classes during Covid. AND we’re starting Heilvegr meetings online with Oregon State Penitentiary. Yay!

“CHANGE IS THE END RESULT OF ALL TRUE LEARNING, AND LEARNING HAPPENS BEST IN CONNECTION WITH OTHERS.”—LEO BUSCAGLIA

I am still basking in the glow of inspiration after watching my Starwood community come together and provide SO MUCH for our First Aid team this year. You all donated over $1,100 in supplies, making sure we were able to keep attendees hydrated. Thank you.

I have witnessed that same sense of community support over the oast decade with Appalachian Pagan Ministry. Because of community, we have been able to serve thousands of pagans across the country who are currently incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and/or in substance abuse recovery.

You can continue that needed support today by donating as you can. Every $$ helps! www.paypal.me/sendustoprison or CashApp to $APMtoPrison
