When I first reached out for community, I was lucky enough to have 2 metaphysical shops in my city. Both were welcoming, one of hosted open sabbat and full moon circles in a park across the street from the store. Frequent attendance earned one an invitation to classes and inner court work.
Where did you go or what did you do to reach out to real life community? Was your first foray successful? Is it important to reach out today or does online/social media suffice?
Thank you all for sharing.
