An Open Letter to the Membership

An open letter to members of the Society of Elder Faiths

Merry Meet,

We hope this finds you and yours well.

We are writing because we miss you and want to update you on the state of the Society of Elder Faiths.

Since the founding of the SEF, we have offered in person, public events to celebrate the cycles of Nature and facilitate connections among the greater Pagan community. Attendance and support have waxed and waned over the years, but, since COVID, have remained low.

We now find ourselves at a crossroads. Energetically and monetarily, we cannot proceed without greater participation by the membership. If the SEF and her work is something that you wish to see continue, we need to hear from you. Ideally, we need to see you at upcoming events.

Please be in touch. Let us know what events you would physically attend and bring others of similar mind. Unfortunately, if attendance does not improve and response to this message is tepid, we will close next year.

Best regards,

The Board of the SEF

  • When we receive your renewal form and check/payment, we will add you to our “Active Member List” and you will receive discounts at all SEF events.
  • Full members renew at $25 per year; associate members/family at $20/$40.
