Group History

Some of the local-to-St. Louis Mysteries (participants in the Diana's Grove Mystery School program) met Oct. 3, 2005, to discuss how to distribute brochures for Diana's Grove around St. Louis. At that meeting, we decided we wanted to meet more as a local community, and bring some fo the Mystery School work home. Others in St. Louis had offered monthly gatherings for those enrolled in Mystery School to discuss the work of that month, and we decided to do that, but make it open to the public.

We proposed to offer monthly meetings and organize a public Yule ritual, as well as work towards offering public classes. We held a Yule ritual on January 7th, and that event was supported by the St. Louis Mysteries community as well as Diana's Grove staff.

Those of us who planned the event met to debrief how it went. At at that meeting we solidified a yearlong calendar of open gatherings with a plan for rotating the facilitation of the monthly events, and ensuring the excellence of each event. This group became the leadership circle for St. Louis Mysteries.

During 2006 the St. Louis Mysteries offered 2 public rituals and 10 open gatherings. For 2007, the planning team intends to offer more public rituals, classes, and other education. Our intention is to bring the values and cornerstones of Diana's Grove Mystery school into St. Louis to facilitate healthy community, personal growth, and leadership development.
