Good day all.
I hope the day is treating you well. I wanted to give you a quick rundown on how the LA Times Festival of books went for my business, what I learned and what I’d do different.
1. Preparation was good but the weather gave me challenges that were unrealized. It rained on and off all day Saturday. It was chilly and people would only see into my booth when they were right in front. So looking up to read a banner or see what was being peddled from under an umbrella wasn’t popular. Consequently people headed to areas they planned to go. Next time I’ll arrange my booth to be a refuge for people out of the weather or just stop and talk.
2. On Sunday I spoke with more people and was offered a chance to interact with a variety of individuals from many walks of life. Most were looking for information on beginning a new health journey and wanted to learn about what branch of Shamanism I practiced. They were kind in asking and I gave as much insight as I could to educate them not only on that practice but the many modalities that I teach.
3. I learned several things. One that the festival was run very well. It was organized and people checked in on you regularly to make sure things were running well. Two, that when it came to interacting with people who would stop and ask about the Shaman title it was easier than anticipated. I’ve not had the best of luck carrying this title for it brings huge prejudices but not in LA. No matter who I spoke with they were cordial and genuinely interested. As a matter of fact the eclecticism was refreshing. I loved the conversations with young people. Granted they’re emotions are still a bit scatted but they want to find their paths in life and that gave encouragement to me to keep forging my way forward to continue to help those who seek.
Thank you LA Times and the Festival of Books
Namaste’
