Los Angeles Pagan Pride Day
Jo-Ann and I attended the eleventh annual Los Angeles Pagan Pride Day (PPD) on Sunday 4 October 2009.
The event was organized by Brian, Patricia, Hope, Linda and Gina along with a number of volunteers. There were a number of rituals, lots of musical entertainment, and a large range of workshops to choose from. I presented my workshop, “The Practice of Ancient Greek Religion Today.”
While I made myself available to talk about Cherry Hill Seminary (CHS), as I usually do, I was beaten to the punch by Covenant of the Goddess – Orange County Local Council, who were getting the word out with CHS brochures.
While the Los Angeles PPD is a bigger event than San Diego PPD, it has a very different feel to it. Attendees tend to spend the entire day at the San Diego event. However, at Los Angeles, they tend to breeze in, enjoy the activities and stalls for a couple of hours, and then breeze on out. This translates to more potential sales for stall holders.
