The Brooklyn Radical Faeries are organizing their inaugural "gatherette" from June 20-22, promoting queer spirituality and community connection. Originally formed in the 1970s, the Radical Faerie movement has evolved to embrace diversity beyond its initial demographics. Organizer Sam emphasizes the importance of non-commercial, invitation-based gatherings that foster mutual care and creative expression. This event, inspired by a ritual during the pandemic, will feature workshops, heart circles, and communal meals, aiming to cultivate ecstatic pleasure and significant connections among attendees, reflecting the inclusive ethos of the Faerie culture.
"Faerie culture offers an interesting answer to what it means to gather... Especially around ideas of community, spirituality and mutual care from a non-consumption-based framework."
"There are a lot more people of color and trans people than there were initially... there was always a radical orientation towards resisting patriarchy and racism from the foundations of the Faerie organization."
