So glad to hear the update from this year, after following your story of Snake. Snake's stand-in, that's a slippery skin to fit ;-) Beautiful account.
Someone called me a saint yesterday for the first time. In my case, Helene wrote: "God has endowed you with special powers of metabolic ( I LOVE THAT) tolerance to endure nastiness, so you are perceived by the rest of us fed-ups as a Saint." So I'm a metabolic stand-in for those fed up to the gills with all the nastiness.
Had I stayed for the duration I would have forced the conversation. I was there early for the work crew part of it, a limited number of guys, and the ritual essence of the main gathering was just gaining some momentum when I left.
That's impressive. I have only done three staffings, none since 2009. Hosted I-groups until I realized I was dealing with a lot of trauma junkies. Already then too the org was going woke with their issues and isms browbeating. I might staff though, this October, to see how it has changed.

Every year presents its surprises, challenges, and *a-ha* moments. This year was no different.
You are a blessing to these men and boys, and to me and Ron. We still talk about you every day.💝🗡
I'm back at the Rendesvous with my swords and deer horns....was dancing last night...perhaps another post....
Another post would be great, if you have time. Enjoy!
🙏
