| GOC 2023 ANNOUNCEMENT! It’s time for our GOC Planning Meeting. We are excited about several announcements and know that you will be as well. First our 2023 Theme-Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions or even thought about it. There were so, so many excellent suggestions, that would have been good themes, it was difficult for the council to decide. So, we came up with a Spirit guided mix that seems to embody many of the suggestions and their intent. The result……..HONORING HEART AND SPIRIT It is very wide open to interpretation. What does it mean to you? What questions, answers or actions pop into your mind when you think about this? Let’s see how we can manifest it together on the Mountain August 2nd-6th Second T-shirt design-As always GOC will have T-shirts for 2023.
