The safety and serenity of the forest and the "standing people" will be towers of support, as we gather again and connect with our childlike play fun, as well as share our - Real Life Challenges, as much as our Celebrations of the transformation of taking flight , being encouraged by way of feeding and breathing ourselves into a new state of being with potential soaring into realms of possibilities.
We look forward to Heart Talking Circles, where awareness and soulful sharing , Awaits.
A safe place to allow your innermost truth and strength, to be supported in the beauty of sharing .
We are inspired by our brothers of the BC Radical Faeries from the West Coast community and appreciate their members input knowledge and wisdom., encompassing our multi faceted communities.
The talent show,... may allow your inner desires to seep out, and enrich those who witness the changes we embody, as another year passes, to present some amazing story telling, and zany and also heartfelt moving renditions, in many stripes and colours! Costumes, whether it be Drag or what ever moves you, are all welcome, and encouraged.
We continue with the evolution of this Prairie Faerie version, it will also be nice to have those who have been at a gathering, to help by way of offering something to encourage and organize, share the gifts of their own personal learnings, and give direction and spirit guide to those who are seeking.
For those unfamiliar with Faeries we offer this bit of history and information:
Radical means root, and the roots of the Faeries date back to San Francisco in the 1970’s. We are an ongoing, worldwide experiment in radical spirituality, sexuality, community and politics. We are part of an intentional, intergenerational community opening ourselves to the full extent of our q***r consciousness. Our purpose is to open up and hold a non-judgmental space in our community for men to explore their q***rness, transitions and authentic selves.
The faeries aim to explore the essence and beauty of gay men and to explore metamorphosis beyond social constructs and definitions of who we are. We practice radical self-acceptance and community building through gatherings, heart circles, mind circles, coffees as well as endless circles of social hijinx and most of all love.
