Camping

COM|PASSionate Events

in

Happy Friday everyone! How are your, beautifully broken and thriving spirits doing as we close another week? We've been challenging ourselves to confront the balance between knowing when to stay still and when it's time to lean into movement. We've been meditating on what is needed to wash away what is keeping us from clarity.

It's not always clear or easy but we see it shimmering there beneath the surface. So we're committing to take time and make space to see the whole picture.

What activities of movement or stillness help your waters settle?

EVENTS

Get out, take care of yourself and heal in community!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Don't forget there's lots of upcoming ways to get involved!

  • You've done plenty of volunteering and advocacy this year! How about you do something for your queer kinky unicorn heart and run away to Amorous Revolt? Amorous Revolt is queer kinky camping, "To celebrate our bold love, our brilliant spirits, our playful (and sometimes serious) sex, our creative relationships, our radical interdependence, our perfect bodies, and our unstoppable power and agency."
  • Hey younger COM|PASSionate REVOLUTIONARIES looking for something fun to do this summer?? How about Brave Trails-- a leadership summer camp for LGBTQ Youth & Allies?! Folks that are our age or older-- we know what you're thinking-- where was this camp when we were in high school?? Well, you can still go help out by being a camp counselor or leading a workshop! Go check them out!
  • All of these internet shenanigans too much? Need to digitally detox? How about checking out Camp Grounded: Summer Camp for Adults! CA camp is over but you can still take a road trip to hit the North Carolina camp in August!
  • Gender Odyssey is coming up at the end of August! Aunty Kate is doing the keynote and the programming looks rad! We're still not sure if we're going to make it up Seattle but we're crossing our fingers! We've heard the community and events around the actual conference programming is also the jam! Check it out if you can or put it on your roadtrip wishlist!
  • Some music and art love!

RECOMMENDATIONS

Figure out what gets you clear and grounded. We've been spending some extra play time in Ojai recently. A little camping therapy and showering in a waterfall on a summer morning does seem to cure all wounds.

COM|PASSionate EVENTS

in ,

Happy Friday COM|PASSionate REVOLUTIONARIES! How goes the start of summer for everyone?? Here in Southern California we've been oscillating between the summer sun, June gloom, and the much needed breaks for drizzle that aren't nearly enough to quench our ever present drought.

It's been sweltering and sweaty and altogether lovely.

We're committing to enjoy ALL of it.

There are so many fun things happening this summer we fear we might float away into adventure dreamland so we're doing our best to stay rooted, grounded, and centered in gratitude and presence. Here are some things we're excited about this week and in the upcoming months!

We want to give an extra shout out to Brave Trails this week! An LGBTQ Youth and Allies Leadership Summer Camp so close to our own neck of the woods?! We can't help but be a little smitten!

Happy Friday COM|PASSionate REVOLUTIONARIES! We hope you had a fabulous week! We've been contemplating being unicorns in a pony world and how we might make the world a more unicorn affirming place. We're not sure exactly what the sparkling glittery path will be just yet but we wanted you to go into your week knowing that it's being planted, dreamed and watered.

Oh, and come hang out with your people....
