THE CAULDRON: An Urban "Gatherette" to Vision and Plan Queer Magic 2008
Note: The Cauldron was the first gatherette to plan Queer Magic 2008. It took place over the weekend of the Autumn Equinox, September 21-23, 2007.
THE CAULDRON is the crucible of creation
where vision quickens and thickens into form...
THE CAULDRON
is an intimate gatherette
to vision, plan, and organize
a larger Queer Magic gathering
to take place in 2008.
THE CAULDRON
is an immersive container
where a posse of self-empowered instigators
can build trust, hang out, spark ideas
and get down to some serious play
over the Autumn Equinox,
September 21-23, 2007.
THE CAULDRON
will be held in a residential garden paradise
(the fabulous Chicken Ranch in North Portland)
where we will cook / dance / circle / chant / pray
laugh / plan / drum / dream / scheme together.
THE CAULDRON
like Queer Magic itself
is a co-created, DIY, hands-on experience
where Structure and Chaos make passionate love
in the back seat of a speeding convertible
with Spirit at the wheel
in a chiffon scarf and big sunglasses.
THE CAULDRON
will demonstrate that organizing
can also be organic and orgasmic
and the planning process
indistinguishable from the party.
THE CAULDRON
is a seedbed for an ongoing
community of magical practice
whose work is barely revealed
and whose potential is immeasurable.
THE CAULDRON
will culminate
in an Autumn Equinox event
for the whole community
on Sunday, September 24 (details to come).
THE CAULDRON
is not for tourists
or do-me queens
or scaredy-cats
or those with rigid expectations.
THE CAULDRON
is for community organizers
and other magical practitioners
at any level of experience
who share the vision for a Queer Magic gathering
and want to form a committed working circle
and an ongoing community of practice.
