Ár Var Alda (abbreviated as ÁVA) was a reading circle that met every month in Olympia, WA (ÁVA-OLY) and Portland, OR (ÁVA-PDX). All reading was performed at the meeting. All material was in English. ÁVA was completely free and all were welcome. For more information about the reading group’s history and for some recommended translations of the core texts that we frequently read and referred to, check out this article at Mimisbrunnr.info.
