What's coming up, how gatherings work, where we land, and the memory of past calls.
Gatherings, festival presence, and other events. Dates shift as Circles confirm the call, so always check before you travel.
Historic gatherings and events.
If you have never been, you may wonder what happens. Activities change from one gathering to the next. What tends to return is a fluid, diverse queer space where people of many ages, races, bodies, sexualities, genders, and beliefs come together — liberating for some, unfamiliar for others. If you are new, you can chat with an organiser first. If your heart is already saying yes, listen to that.
Faeries say: if you see something that needs doing, the best way is to do it. A team helps beforehand; the event itself happens because of who comes. People chip in — meals, dishes, wood, workshops, heart circles, entertainment, sweeping up. Nothing particular is obligatory; participation is the gathering.
A gathering aims to be inclusive, safe, and supporting. Organisers may speak with people when behaviour causes conflict, and may ask someone to leave to protect the whole. It is not group counselling — you hold responsibility for your own personal, emotional, physical, and sexual safety. Heart circles, understanding faeries, hugs, and organisers are around with support and love.
Bank details are shared after booking; cash at the gathering is fine too. We hold NOTAFLOF close — No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds. Gatherings are non-profit; additional donations are gratefully received.
We eat together — vegetarian with vegan options, cooked in the kitchen by whoever wants to help. Heart circles often run freer of city time-pressure and can open profound sharing. Workshops and activities may include ritual, dancing, drumming, theatre, music, art, games, fancy dress, silence, solitude, chaos, and more. If you bring it, it will most likely happen.
