GFR Mitra Online
Community Gatherings

The Quarterly Women's* GFR Mitra meetings give GFR Mitras from the US and Canada an opportunity to come together outside classes and retreats. These gatherings are intended to foster our relationships as we prepare to be invited to join the Order. All GFR Mitras are welcome to participate. Each gathering needs a Meeting Leader. Additional technical support is always welcome, in addition to what Megrette and Joy provide.
