How Much Time does a Gathering Take?

[Djehutyendy]

Em hotep, everyone!

Each gathering requires that Hemet spend time in preparing whatever part of anything she will participate in. For example, for Dayton:

• Hemet helped negotiate with the venue over a number of days and with the priests to make sure the venue works with the logistics of the requested events.
• Logistics of the schedule require her input.
• Hemet is researching and writing a new rite we have never done before (see below).
• There is priest training happening for which she needs to prepare and has had to communicate with various priests about numerous times.
• There is everything she needs to prepare for Weshem Ib.
• There is talking to each Shemsu who wants to undergo the Ordeal.
• Due to available flights to Dayton, she has layovers and has to leave Portland at 0-dark-30.

Hemet has said that due to the new ritual and the new location, this event is taking more of her time to prepare than Wep Ronpet does.
