Calling all ISD Oneonta Members and those considering membership-
We are holding our All Member Convention at ISD Oneonta on March 2nd, at 12 noon at the ISD Lotus Center. At this annual meeting, we review our accomplishments from the previous Fiscal year, and make goals for next year.

Our Fiscal year is going to change this year- It will run from April 1st, 2025, through December 31st of 2025. In January of 2026 our Fiscal year is switching to January 1st, 2026 to December 31st, 2026 to be in step with our Chartering organization, ISD National.
Anyone can attend, but only members in good standing can vote. We want to hear from you! It is essential to renew your membership here, NOW, and have your ideas, visions for ISD, and your vote count!
- Rev. Diana Friedell, Pastor, Co-Director; Kimberly Winsor, President of the Board

I think that we all would agree that moving into a new space has been an incredible group effort and joy.
One of the most engaging aspects was the process of taking suggestions and the voting to name the two active practitioner rooms. After gathering names and narrowing it down our membership came up with the perfect choices!
The Owl Room representing the sight and wisdom of our intuitive practitioners.
The Phoenix Room representing our unique ability to overcome our challenges, heal and rise to be reborn.
This space, along with this process proves that we are ready for our challenges and are open to the insight and wisdom of our guides.

Two Sessions January 30th and February 6th. Thursdays 5:30-7 each day

In this class, Rev. Diana reviews the 10 commandments for being a good counselor- and one of them is that everyone who pursues your counsel already has their own right answer, you are only there to help guide them to it.
In these uncertain times, it is important to be prepared when people come to us for guidance.

FEBRUARY CONVERSATIONS
This astrology forecast highlights significant celestial events from February 1-16, 2025.
The astrology report highlights February as a significant month with major planetary movements, including Venus, Uranus, and a powerful multi-planet conjunction in Pisces. The Venus-Neptune-North Node alignment, peaking on February 7, encourages personal and collective spiritual growth, emphasizing dreams, intuition, and feminine energy. Uranus, resuming direct motion in Taurus, brings sudden shifts, while Jupiter turning direct in Gemini on February 4 signals a return of expansive energy. The Full Moon in Leo on February 12 forms a tense T-square with Uranus, influencing leadership, altruism, and financial matters, potentially triggering emotional and societal shifts. A strong emphasis on feminine asteroids in Aquarius and Pisces suggests a rising influence of feminine power, intuition, and transformation, shaping the global consciousness in early 2025.
