This is being put out to the local Vancouver & Sunshine Coast BC tribe but I also wanted to let kin from other regions in on what's happening as I am aware that the subject of our council affects others as well. This may also be repeated at other festivals in 2008 in some form...
Call to Harmonix Council, Sun.Oct.21,1-4pm
On Sunday October 21st a council will be held at Memelab (1814 Pandora and Salsbury),east of Commercial, north of Hastings). By donation to cover cost of space rental. No one refused for lack of funds.
The Harmonix Council is the convergence of a men and women circle intended to increase the balance between the sexes to fortify and protect the community it serves. The focus of this council will be on how we can experience safer, more conscious, respectful interactions with sexual behaviour. It will also bring together ideas culled from both men and women circles regarding addressing people who have been affected by abuse, the roots of causing harm consciously or unconsciously to others regardless of gender. It is encouraged that these circles also clarify what we want to see and experience in relation to a positive, healthy sexuality.
The culminating aim of the council will be to draft a community code of honor in relation to Love Sex Intelligence to assist the community in the future and help with the clearing of the past of all that no longer serves and restore the positive values we hold in common.
In preparation for this council, participants are invited to take part in men and women circles held separately prior to the Harmonix Council. These will be happening on both the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver prior to October 21. People can do so on their own, bring this subject to existing men or women circles or join in the ones being organized. All circles should keep clear concise notes of their process and distilled recommendations for consideration at the Harmonix Council. Where wise, confidentiality should be held to make these circles safe for participants.
If possible please rsvp to sobeyone(at) photon (dot net) with your interest and intention for being a part of this council and let me know if you are able to take part in a men or women council prior to the 21st. Info will be sent to those interested in taking part in the men and women circles.
For the Harmonix Council all are invited to bring objects that represent their intention to be placed together on the altar to anchor the field being created.
For those inclined and for inspiration to accompany preparation for this council please note the 12th to the 20th of October is the Navaratri festival in Hindu tradition, a time of giving honor to the divine feminine aspect as personified by the many faces of Shakti. In some parts of India this festival is celebrated with dances of 40 000 men and women. Perhaps something can be taken from this phenonmenon to assist us in our North American culture in its unhealthy aspects.
