0:00.0	Hi, everybody.
0:03.5	Caspar and I are here today with a little bonus conversation for you all.
0:08.3	Pull up a chair, gather around the fire, and get comfy.
0:13.0	So Caspar, we wanted to take the time today to talk a little bit about this last opportunity that we have for gathering
0:22.0	as a Harry Potter and Sacred Texts community, which we're calling Sacred Practice Saturday.

1:37.1	We have this November one.
1:39.4	We're going to have a last virtual live show.
1:42.3	We're going to have one last live show preview everyone. It's not for sale
1:46.3	yet, but with our dear friend John Green in Indiana. And then we are going to have a last pilgrimage,
