Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Susan (she\/her) is an Atheopagan, naturalistic animist, and a dedicated practitioner of Druidry. She is an engineer, wife, mom, and aspiring suburban homesteader based in Ohio, USA. She loves spending time in nature either at home in the garden or out on the trails. When not outside, she loves to cook, create beautiful things, and play tabletop role-playing games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Treasurer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Based in the UK, Rachel is a hedgehog enthusiast, accountant, and doting aunt. She is an excellent cook and an avid gamer, and sometimes dabbles in the creative arts. Her passion for fellow humans and nature-based ritual, combined with a distaste for “woo”, led her to search out The Atheopagan Society, and she found herself a home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Rana A. (she\/her) dances the line between various identities and is grateful to have found belonging in the Atheopagan community. She is a lifelong learner and interdisciplinary creative who cares about impactful design, mental health, pleasure positivity, and challenging norms. Always experimenting in the kitchen and sometimes reading, watching movies, or taking photos on film. She lives with her partner and three cats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Vice-Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaala Hemingway (they\/them) is an IT and operations management professional with over 15 years of experience with nonprofits and schools. They are passionate about ensuring that their efforts are directed toward continuous improvement, social responsibility, and preserving legacy for those who come after, whether that\u2019s in volunteer roles, at work, or in the kitchen. Their path to Atheopaganism was circuitous but thoughtful, with a lifelong appreciation for nature as a guiding light. When they\u2019re not at work or cooking, they can often be found on a bike, attempting to do woodworking, or taking photos. They live with their partner and pets at the edge of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Secretary<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebecca (she\/her) resides in the Seattle area with her kitties. She was originally attracted to Paganism in her teens, but never thought it was for her because of how pervasive the supernatural element felt. It wasn\u2019t until significantly later, when she had decided to research spirituality outside of the context of specific religions, that she found the Atheopagan community, which feels like home. Rebecca likes hiking, yoga, all things cat, foosball,\u00a0dancing ballet & ballroom,\u00a0playing Pok\u00e9mon, stationery, fountain pens, coding, and novice-level gardening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Council which guides The Atheopagan Society is comprised of practicing Atheopagans who volunteer their time to help advance and support Atheopaganism as a thriving and meaningful path for its practitioners throughout the world.
