(12:17:56) Carlos.Martinez3: he IP is the first step to becoming a Jedi Knight at TotJO, As we take the time to read , listen and complete the IP, it can take some a short amount of time or even years depending on time avalibility, learning styles and personal experience. The IP is self paced as is most of the learning is in the Order. During this time in the IP there may be new ideas , new people and even new ways introduced to some people.

Will we be having one scheduled for August as well?

Let me check ! I’m sure we can do one every month as time and need arise - there was talk about having more added to the ceremony and other things like that so ... let me touch base and if all else I will post an update soon.

I got the list and boy is it long ! Next Newcomers Ceremony will be done this month - but when and what time do we all want to do it ? Any suggestions ? I’m open for suggestions.
