About Many Paths
-
The Many Paths CUUPS chapter is founded on the ideals of spiritual innovation, acceptance, and the joy of creation. Our chapter focuses on the collection of stories, people, and knowledge that comes with the fearless pursuit of connection.
Many Paths does not tolerate intolerant behavior. This group advocates for inclusivity, lifelong learning, environmental awareness, community support, and a relentless love of personal spiritual exploration.
All paths lead exactly where they mean to go. Will you join us for awhile? -
The Many Paths chapter was founded by Babs and Sean-Thomas Gunnel around 2000 as a stepping-stone for untethered Pagan and non-theistic practitioners to gather, learn, and come together. For over 20 years Many Paths has offered its knowledge and pride to every visitor and weary traveler who arrives at the door.
-
Many Paths continues to evolve around our central axis: that all paths offer wisdom, joy, and experience. As our chapter has grown in number, so have our strengths and our discipline. We will continue to expand our work with local vendors and Pagan groups and hope to re-ignite Bloomington-Normal’s Pagan Pride festival in the coming years.
