    Default New Texas Shinto Study Group Forming and New Texas Shinto Yahoogroup

    Greetings!

    I am starting a new Shinto study group affiliated with The Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America in Granite Falls, Washington. I have also started a new Yahoo list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/texasshinto for those who are interested. We will be holding our first meeting October 17 (see information below). After that we hope to have regular Sunday meetings. I have a temporary web site up right now at http://www.roundrockbujinkan.com/shinto . This will soon be moved to its own domain.

    If you are interested or know someone who would be interested, myI can be contacted at (512) 310-2142 or oniyama@texas.net.


    Take care,

    About Texas Shinto
    Tekisasu Bushi to Dai Shizen Shinto no Benkyoo Dantai
    We are a new Shinto study group affiliated with The Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America in Granite Falls, Washington. We will be focusing on both the spiritual and academic aspects of Shinto. We will initially be using the Tsubaki Shrine handbook as a study guide and will add other references as we progress. People of other religious backgrounds or nonreligious backgrounds are welcomed so long as individuals conduct themselves with religous tolerance and do not impede our Shinto study.

    Texas Shinto Study Group First Meeting
    Sunday 9:30 AM, October 17th, 2004
    Barton Springs in Zilker Park (Exact map and directions to be posted soon.)

    We will be holding our first Shinto Study Group Meeting to discuss a general outline of what we will be practicing and how. Participants are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring note taking materials.

    For more information contact John Hidalgo at (512) 310-2142 or oniyama@texas.net.

    Default First Shinto Study Group Meeting Sunday, October 17th at 9:30 AM

    Hello Everyone,

    I just wanted to give a quick update on our first meeting coming up
    on Sunday, October 17th at 9:30 AM. We will be meeting at the
    covered shelter at Barton Springs In Zilker Park. This covered are
    is Between the big playground area and the north/main entrace to
    Barton springs.

    If you need more information on Barton Springs have a look at
    http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/parks/bartonsprings.htm . The address for
    Zilker park is 2201 Barton Springs Road . There is a map at
    http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/parks/par...rings_pool.jpg .

    I hope to post an agenda soon. Tentatively I will be bringing out a
    small collection of Shinto related books and photos from the Tsubaki
    Shrine for people to look through. We will likely have short
    discussions on a few key topics including what Shinto is, Kamidana,
    Misogi, Chinkon and Shrine etiquette. We will also be conducting a
    short business meeting to discuss scheduling and upcoming events.
    All of this subject to change, I post the actual agenda once I have
    it nailed down.

    I am looking at doing Misogi earlier that morning. If anyone is
    interested in joining me please let me know.

    If you need more information feel free to contact me at (512) 310-
    2142 or oniyama@texas.net .

    Take care,
