In San Diego, CA there is a group of ADF members who were very interested in forming an ADF Protogrove. One day they announced that they would be having an open public rite in celebration of Samhain. This would be a sort of trial run before they had been members of ADF for six months and so would be eligible to form a Protogrove (they applied in December 2006). Rev. David Foster and I drove to San Diego and attended their rite, and then we all went out to coffee afterwards to talk about grove organizing, cosmology, and all those fun things grove organizers need to know.
