Sex Magick 2010 – Twice the bliss.

March 8th, 2010 · No Comments

Legendary in the Comfort & Joy community, The Circle of Loving Companions is calling out to thoughtful faeries as they prepare for two Sex Magick Workshops this year. Created by Harry Hay as a culmination of his lifelong desire for sacred intimacy among gay men, each Sex Magick workshop is a week-long group process that brings together 15 heart-centered men and three experienced facilitators for an exploration of love, sex and intimacy.

Both newcomers and former participants to invited to attend one or both Sex Magick Workshops this year:

* May 29 to June 5 – Wolf Creek Faerie Sanctuary, Oregon
* October 2 to 9 – Short Mountain Sanctuary, Tennessee

Pitch a tent for a luscious week amongst these breathtaking and sacred landscapes, and connect with this circle of loving companions.

Participants are asked to come with some experience at Heart Circle, a tradition of the Radical Faeries; those from other gay men’s spiritual traditions are encouraged to speak with the facilitators about their familiarity and comfort with these practices. Prior to attending, all participants take part in a gate-keeping conversation with one of the facilitators, and are asked to attend for the entire week. The registration cost of $550 includes meals, snacks and a donation to our hosts. No one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF).

Imagine: Urban Utopia

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments

“Tumult and change, churning cycles of invention and destruction – these forces generate the pulse of urban life. Great cities are organic, spontaneous, heterogeneous, and untidy. They are, like Burning Man, magnetic hubs of social interaction. This year’s theme will function as a micro and a macro-scope, an instrument through which we will inspect the daily course of city life and the future prospect of what we call civilization.”

November 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

Last Thursday night (11/19) ART ATTACK raised $500 for the Caretaker Food Fund at the Wolf Creek faerie sanctuary… that’s awesome!

Huge thanks to everyone who supported the Sanctuary by paying cover or volunteering… you not only made a fabulous evening possible, you helped create resources that will literally feed your sisters.

The_Day_Art_ATTACKED

The door proceeds from this month’s ART ATTACK symphonic explosion go directly to the Wolf Creek Radical Faerie Sanctuary CARETAKER FOOD FUND. A talent assault that feeds the children. Winter can be a trying time to live in the woods and caretakers of the land need City Faggot Love to help them chop wood and shoot large.
