Neighbors!

2008-07-03T15:46:12Z

Yeah!!
I finally rounded most of y'alls up and dragged you into Elysium Fields with us Philosopherz! I am so excited we will be camping near you all Wet - n - Juicilicious folks (I know, I know, but WET - n - Juicy just sounds so good...). ..Though to be honest you all might NOT be so excited to have us as neighbors, we are laud, snore, inebriated, and prone stumbling into the wrong tent or camp. ***joke*** ***well, mainly*** We are doing a lot of of activities this year, it might be fun to coordinate collaborate a little, which is to say, I want to come to YOUR activities, but want to make sure I am not too cross scheduled. For more info on what The Philosopherz Stone is doing check out http://www.philosopherzstone.com and for more info on the Chill Spin SKillz Exchange Area check out our tribe http://tribes.tribe.net/chillspin .

So looking forward to camping next to you...

Grass Seed

2008-06-27T05:01:19Z

Hi All,

We have to buy grass seed and seed our sites before and after Transformus. One bag of seed covers enough for about three theme camps (if my math is right). Do ya'll want to go in together to buy this seed? I'm not sure where to get it either. Any ideas?

Local Dance/Movement/Play Troupe Forming

2008-06-25T19:16:46Z

mirth: n. great fun; merriment; noisy gaiety, jocularity; that which causes fun
n.; a group of people intentionally and collectively experiencing merriment

A mirth of players and performers is forming. The word forming is being used loosely; we’re not going on the road or anything(at least not yet). I want to help gather some people with the intent of exploring the boundaries of what we can do together-performance and creativity wise. You do not (repeat DO NOT) need to have an existing skill which falls into any of the following categories. Personally I have next to no experience in any of this stuff. A desire and willingness to learn, play, and strive is much more important than expertise.

Seeking people(or others) who want to explore dance(all kinds), martial arts, street theatre, butoh, gymnastics, contortion, drumming, yoga, kubuki, busking, stilt walking, sphere play, sound creation, cabaret, acrobatics, and making costumes and all sorts of other stuff.

I don’t have a rigid idea or vision of what this will be. I am not the leader but I am the force acting as a catalyst to get this going. Maybe we can get together when we can, teach each other different forms, and see what happens.

I would like to incorporate capoeira, tai chi, fire staff, myth remembering, and swelling circus music into a 10 minute piece, call it an intro, and then set in on an Arabic flute based mesmerizing dance improve, berimbau beat backed, cartwheel freakout, followed by macabre mask adorned, kali striking, throat singing and chanting monkey circle parade in the dust finale. If this sort of thing sounds appealing please get in touch.

I am in Carrboro so it would be great to collaborate with people in the nearby vicinity but anyone who is interested is welcome to get in touch.

Parking Team for Transformus

2008-06-25T02:01:55Z

Hello All,

The Co-leads, Raeosun and Myself, are excited and very appreciative to those of you who have signed up for volunteering this year. We have worked our butts off to try to put together a team that can be as efficient as possible this year. We are new to these positions but we hope to provide some fresh air and plenty of support.

It is important for all of you to know that we will all be required to Park in Satellite Parking located in a Private Field before entering the Owl Gates at Deer Fields. All Theme Camps and Early Arrivals must move their vehicles to satellite parking by Thursday pm. We will have a shuttle scheduled to help with transporting people back to the main camp ground.

Also, we plan to have the same Shuttle, Lazoom Bus, for shuttling people followed by a Uhaul for shuttling gear during the scheduled Gate hrs. Everyone is encouraged to condence your packing. Please use totes that can be easily stacked and mark your belongings. Please reframe from bringing belongings or groceries in open bags, EVERYTHING will be packed in tightly to transport as many people as we can at a time (appr. 40.) After entering the Gates via Lazoom, all will be dropped off at another station (also the DMT Garage area) where various MVs (Mutant Vehicles) will be encouraged to help shuttle you in further. You may also bring and share a wheel barrel, cart, wagon, dolly, or any other device that may help people move their belongings into Mysteria. This is highly encouraged to keep up the pace and of course help one another as a community. We will need a few people to help with loading and unloading these belongings to help make this as fast and smooth as possible. Please get in touch with DMT if you think you could help be a "loader."

As for the mentioned Parking Team duties and needs, we still need approximately 24 volunteers to fill shifts that are only 2 and 3 hrs. long. Your job as part of Parking Team will be fairly simple, however, extremely important. As folks arrive, they will verify Gate Codes at Gate first. If there is more than one person in the vehicle, 1 of those people will be dropped off with all their gear while the other(s) go to park. The Parking Team will be located 1. at beginning of Gate, 2. some where in the middle, 3. at current parking spot to park. There will be a team of atleast 4 volunteers with one Shift Lead per Shift. A shift lead is one person who will be in charge of the Radio, who can contact Parking Leads if necessary, or EMS and Rangers in case of an emergency. They will also be the person who educates the new volunteers that may want to help, with what needs are present. We have someone bringing signs to also help and Parking Team Volunteers will wear vests to help with identification. You may wear costumes as well, as long as you can throw your vest on top. Remember, when Parking it is easy for a line to gradually get out of order so, we encourage volunteers to pay close attention to getting vehicles in as close as possible, still allowing room for departure, but keeping all lines as tight and orderly as you can. There will also be a designated section for larger vehicles, etc.

We cut back the original shift hrs to make it easier for everyone and also provide more time for people to split up their volunteering if they would like to volunteer for more than one shift or Team. You must go to www.transformus.com/community to volunteer. Some of you may already be in the system, but please check and make sure that you are logged in and info is correct. Waterfall and the Web Team have been working very hard on the new volunteer system and we think it is GREAT! You will now be able to look at all the Teams and their needs. You will be able to see what teams need the most help and what shifts are open or full and who is also volunteering. Please encourage others to check the site to see all the new updates. It's still a new system, and has had a few glitches that have been fixed, but so far it's a great tool to be active and view others who are participating as well. Also, if there is a team that you would like to participate in and they have not posted a schedule yet, email that team directly. It has taken a some teams a little longer to get their info up.

As always, I encourage your questions and suggestions. We hope to be a TEAM this year, with many individuals bringing their spark to the flame. Greeters, Gate, DMT, and Parking Team will all be working together to keep things running smoothly. If you see that a team needs your help, fill free to fill that gap. We are only as strong as our weakest members. Let's make Transformus 08 a model of how an "experimental community" can come together for one another in a beautiful time and space.

Please email parking@transformus.com for specific questions regarding the Parking Team.

Spanks ya'll,
Kara*
Parking Team

Chill Spin Zone and Skillz Exchange

2008-06-23T13:56:47Z

I am happy to announce that the Chill Spin Skillz Exchange will be returning to Transformus 08!

The Chill Spin Zone is a low-key, safe place for spinners and dancers of any skill level. It is both a learning and a teaching environment as well as a non-competitive play space. There will be music, workshops, classes and freeform fun throughout the weekend. Look for us in the Elyssium Fields.

The Chill Spin Zone and Skillz Exchange is brought to you by Philosopher's Stone, Bubble Camp, Ripe and Juicy and many wonderful and giving teachers from all over Mysteria. It is a unique opportunity to teach, learn, connect and share in a cooperative and safe space from a variety of amazing teachers and performers. It is also a great opportunity to make friends and build community. And the first step to organizing it is a Call For Teachers!!!

Everyone has something to teach. Everyone has something to learn.

What do you have to share? Mysteria needs you!

Please let us know what you'd be interested in sharing. If there is a time or day that's better for you, let us know that too. Once we get everyone's feedback, we will make a schedule of workshops that will be posted online as well as in the Chill Spin Zone. TITS will also be announcing upcoming workshops throughout Mysteria.

Here is a list of the workshops that were offered last year. Let's use this as a framework to build upon. Feel free to share something new and different or sign on to teach one of these amazing skills:
- Staff
- Double Staff
- Fire Fans
- Hooping
- Tribal Dance
- Poi
- Fire Eating

Please indicate what skill level you are interested in teaching (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and sign up even if someone else has already volunteered. More is better! If there is something unique about the workshop you want to teach, give us a little information about that also.

So what do you have to share?

Patika's Beginner & Intermediate Hoop Classes @ the new Studio 318 location

2008-06-16T19:03:43Z

Hooping is sexy and is an amazing form of exercise. It can also be meditative and is a wonderful way of creatively expressing yourself. Hooping to music provides a great cardio workout and burns fat. Hooping targets core strength, and is a great toner for the whole body. The best thing about hooping is its fun!
Beginner classes will be held every Thursday night at 6:30pm.

In my beginners hoop class, we'll explore the fundamentals of hoop dance and go over the basics. Using my adult sized hoops you will learn to keep the hoop up, how to move with the hoop, off body hooping, learning to dance with the hoop and fun.

Intermediate Hoop Dance classes will be every Tuesday and start at 6:30pm.

Intermediate classes are for the experienced hooper, wanting to fine tune and smooth their dance, learn more advanced tricks, get a good work out and have fun!

Classes are held at the NEW Studio 318 studios on 4604 West Market St., Suite 124, in the plaza next to Bert's Seafood, all the way at the end on the right.

The fee for class is $13.00, the studio's basic drop in rate.
Series packages are now available for hoop classes.
Hoops are provided for class use, but bring your own if you have one. Hoops also available for purchase.

*Check www.studio318.biz for more info and for cancellations.

I HOOP to see you there!

Blitz: Kamp Krieg fundraiser July 3-6

2008-06-14T19:25:54Z

Blitz – the benefit party weekend for Kamp Krieg

Blitz is a camping holiday weekend celebration being held on 10 acres of woodlands near Siler City, NC July 3-6. We're bringing the fire, debauchery, food, thumpa-thumpa, trampolines, boffer swords, and more. It's all burner tested, burner approved. Our Grill Master will be preparing tasty foods for your enjoyment, in both carnivorous and hippie varieties. Our party veterans will ensure you remain properly "hydrated" at all times. All proceeds contribute directly to your enjoyment of Kamp Krieg at numerous regional burns.

We know you're gonna have as much fun coming as we will putting it on, but don't forget the important things: Costumes, Art, Blinkies, Musical Instruments, Fire Toys, and anything else you need to get your creative spirit fired up.

This is a primitive camping LNT event . Unless you bring your mama, YOU are responsible for cleaning up after yourself, including removing your trash from the site. There is no car camping, but vehicles will be parked inside Gate.

All attendees must be 18+: a valid photo ID must be presented at Gate. NO EXCEPTIONS. Only ticket holders with a valid photo ID will be granted entrance to Blitz. You will receive directions to the site and specific details about this unforgettable event. Due to space limitations, Blitz is capped at 200 people, so tickets are very likely to sell out. Please do not forward directions or details to non-ticket holders.

Tickets are available in Greensboro, NC by calling 336.669.6964 or online for $20 from now until July 1st. www.BrownPaperTickets.com/event/37256 After July 1, all remaining tickets will be available first-come, first-served at $30 each.

Hi everyone,

I'm mishka and I'm really interested in the Raleigh area. I've been in the SF Bay area for nearly 12 years, and before that I was in New Orleans a other places in the South. I'm so glad to see that there is a Burning Man and artsy contingent there. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself! Hi!

Anyone else in this tribe move from the Bay area? I'd love any info on relocating and finding good friends. :)
Thanks so much! Mishka

Hoops In Art

2008-06-05T06:38:24Z

Hi All,

I created a tribe called Circles of Joy for students who are studying hoopdance with me, either in a class or workshop setting or online, or anyone interested in integrating dance into their hoopdance. It is a place to connect with other students, review what we've learned, organize outings, plan special workshops, share videos and tutorials, ask questions, order custom sport hoops and groove hoops, learn, share and create community. I have all my video tutorials pasted there and I also hope to integrate a lot of art and poetry into it. I invite you to join if you'd care to:

http://tribes.tribe.net/circlesofjoy

But that's not why I'm writing. I'm writing because I've just spent several days fleshing out our photo album with representations of hoops in art and I want to invite you to check it out. The selection is pretty eclectic but there are pieces in there dating back to ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. I tried to credit the artist whenever I could and sometimes to write a bit about their process or medium. If, while looking through these images, you see something you recognize, please comment with any information you have about it.

I hardly included any photography. I feel like there's been a lot of good hoop photography and lots of places to post it but there really hasn't been a home for other hoop art. As our Tribe grows, I'm sure we will post plenty of photography and I want to encourage that also but I wanted to start out with other mediums that are not so readily represented. These mediums include architecture, painting, drawing, sculpture, pottery, fashion, petroglyphs, dolls, ornaments and floral arrangement. There is a lot of cool art in there! Check it out here:

http://tribes.tribe.net/circlesofjoy/photos

Please feel free to join Circles of Joy and to post any representations of hoops in art that you may run across. Poetry also. I love art and I'm grateful for your contributions. I would also be so happy to have you in our tribe.

Shamanism and Ayahuasca

2008-05-29T04:48:48Z

I'm heading down to Peru this summer for the Amazonian Shamanism Conference in Iquitos. Check out: http://www.soga-del-alma.org/ConferenceSite/ Dr. Dennis McKenna, Dr. R. Grossman, and several other speakers, presenters, and shamans will be there... promises to be an amazing experience. After the conference I'll be traveling deep into the jungle for three weeks of ayahuasca dieta. I'm curious, is there anyone in the Triad who has drank ayahuasca in Peru or stateside? I'd love to hear from you. Share ideas, thoughts, and hopefully start to build (or connect) to a community of like-minded folks.

Help us win this band for our Rock and Roll hafla--we need YOUR votes!!

2008-03-25T19:39:27Z

Help us 'win' a band for the evening at Colorful Waves Rock and Roll Hafla on June 7th.

IF our local votes beat out other voting towns. 'Falling in Two' a rock band from Fayetteville NC. will play for us.

How you can help win 'our' band-

1. Visit www. myspace. com/fallingintwo and vote (listen to samples too)

2. send a message- that serves as 'your vote', saying that 'Falling in Two' should 'play for the Bellydance Raks event in DURHAM!'

3. convince your friends to 'vote' too! Even if they do not attend the event, we need votes!

It won't cost you anything more to attend this rock show, if 'our' community WINS the gig! How cool is that!?

THANKS!

Flaming Faeries fire show at What the Hell Con

2008-02-02T15:35:17Z

The Flaming Faeries are going to be part of Guilford College's What the Hell? Convention. We'll be putting on our Toxic show on Saturday Feb 9 at around 10pm after the Geek Auction, so if you show up early you can buy yourself a geek date. ;) We're either performing outside of Dana or New Garden Hall, but since those are right across from each other we should be easy to spot.

I know there's a lot going on that weekend, but we'd love to see you guys there. This is a new show for us adding a lot of the things we've been working on lately. Some of you have seen the fire floggers as fun party toys if not in a routine, and we've also added "Climbing Mt. Beyond" and the "Fire Blow Job."

See you there!

Hoop Convergence April 208 Schedule/Prices

2008-01-30T01:07:01Z

Hoop Convergence April 11 - 16, Carrboro, NC

SCHEDULE (subject to change:-)

Times, arrangements and final teacher details are still being negotiated.
Some classes/activities will be for everyone. There will also be break-out sessions where we divide to meet in smaller groups.

FRIDAY: ARRIVAL

To welcome you to Chapel Hill, NC, we will offer an evening for arrival and orientation. This evening will allow time for a deep breath, casual hooping, nourishing potluck, camp or bunk set-up, meeting other hoopers and orienting for the days ahead.

SATURDAY: THE HOOPING BODY

Saturday will focus on the hoop, our bodies and the relationship and possibilities created between the two.

Circle Up: Saturday we will begin the introduction to the circle with a forum on hoop craft. As the basis of the practice, the hoop, in its varying dimensions, weight, aesthetics, grip and balance affects the experience of hooping. Hoops of differing sizes and weights open new doors for movement possibilities and thus physical, mental and spiritual benefits. There will be time for sharing thoughts on the craft and perhaps make a new hoop.

Movement Workshops: 11 am – 4 pm

Classes on Saturday will focus on foundations, injury prevention (Ariana), flexibility & strength training for hooping (TBA), Handwork (Caroleeena) and compiling a movement inventory (full group activity.)

JAM: Integration time at Town Commons with live music 5 – 9 pm (All ages.)

SUNDAY: COMMUNITY / SHARING & PRESENTING THE DANCE

Sunday’s themes will focus on taking the hoop into the community. We will focus on ways to facilitate hooping in your community, event planning, stylizing the hoop dance and dressing for the occasion.

Circle Up: Annie O, creator of World Hoop Day, will host a morning forum with the assistance of Jewels, creator of Hoops for Haiti and Caroleeena who started the Henrietta Jensen Outreach and Education Project in Jamaica. This will be a great time to envision a community event or social service project for your hometown or a sister community.

Circle Up: In the interest of community, on both local and global levels, Alicat, will host a forum on Sustainability and Hooping. You may be able to educate your community with some of these ideas when you return home for Earth Day.

Weaver St Market Jazz Bruch: 11 am – 1 pm

This is a special spot for us Carrboro hoopers, as Spiral & Jewels began a ritual of getting dressed up and taking bundles of colorful hoops to this space to complement their weekly music events. We believe that this has been a key component to promoting the joy of hooping in Carrboro, NC. This event is free to the public, offers great brunch and beverage options and hosts live music. Great for all ages.

Movement Workshops: 1 – 5 pm

Save some energy because we will be going straight from brunch to workshops for the afternoon. Workshops will feature advanced moves (Stefan of Groovehoops), Street Hooping aka Busking (Revolva), Spinning (Jewels & Spiral) and HoopYoga (TBA.)

Craft: late afternoon/early evening

Sunday evening will feature a crafting, trading and costuming event. Annie Weinhart, of Annieland, will offer a no-sew costume techniques workshop in the late afternoon. This will kick off the costuming and crafting portion of the Convergence. This evening will be an opportunity to create, envision or trade pieces of hoopable clothing or patterns. After much consideration, we don’t believe it will be quite workable to have 30 sewing machines in one room, but we will have a few for easy sew patterns in addition to other fun possibilities. We will let you know how much fabric you need to bring for the workshop. Please begin to collect the fun clothing or chunks of fabric that no longer suit you, but may be passed on or traded.

MONDAY: PERFORMANCE

Monday’s workshops will highlight performance aspects of hoopdance. While not all of us are professional performers, each demonstration for a class, group or community event involve some elements of performance and presentation. Let’s face it, whenever we go out to dance with a hoop, we are on display and are communicating with spectators. Hooping is a form of communication, thus considering these elements of the dance is like honing your conversational skills.

Circle Up: Performance Theories, Tips and Personal Stories

Movement Workshops: 10 – 2

Workshops will feature Choreography (Stefan), Engaging an Audience (TBA), Partner Techniques (Ammon & Marria)

Make-Up Techniques: 4 pm

Christine & Patika will lead us through a workshop on make-up application to highlight our natural beauty prior to a super sweet jam. Professional performers and make-up artists, they will surely host an informative and fun pre-ball party.
Full spectrum of needs to be announced.

JAM: Hoop hop set 7 – Midnight (Final details to come.)

With its bumping bass kicks and lyrical flowetry, Hip Hop has had tremendous influence on some of us Carrboro hoopers. This evening will feature live instrumental hip hop jams for your spinning pleasure. This may also be a time to offer a performance to the circle of hoopdancers. Part of the evening will also be DJ’d with a variety of styles of grooviness.

TUESDAY: FIRE

Circle Up: Alicat will facilitate a forum to Compare/Contrast Fire Hoop Designs Safety. Several fire hoop designers will be present to show their fire hoops and tell stories of their creation. Ali will introduce other designs (for some not present) and discuss the differences, advantages, disadvantages, etc. You will also leave the Convergence with an extensive safety packet compiled by Caroleeena.

Craft: After viewing a variety of fire hoop designs and meeting some crafters, we will offer this time for a hands’ on experience of fire hoop craft. This will be a collaborative project as creating a fire hoop is a labor intensive endeavor. We hope to introduce materials, tools, techniques for wick wrapping and complete one hoop to christen during the evening burn!

Movement Workshops: Afternoon

Workshops will feature Fire Hoop practice, Twin Hooping (Jewels & Spiral), HoopYoga (TBA), More (TBA)

Fire: After Dark

Fire Dancing and Drumming~ Gathering around a fire is a sacred, traditional ritual. As humans, we have lost some of our connection with fire in modern times and thus lost respect for its tremendous power of sustaining, transformation and healing. Fire is a powerful element with powers of creation and destruction. We will offer time to initiate, perform and share fire dancing experiences to burn away that which we no longer need and send prayers, hopes and wishes for the future through this dance. We hope this evening will be fiery, fun and ritualistic as we channel our Shiva energies. Incredible rhythms provided.

WEDNESDAY: HEALING HOOP DANCE

Wednesdays themes will focus on Cultivating Creativity, Nurturing Spirit, Healing Potentials of Hoopdance, Working with Special Populations and Social Outreach.

Circle Up: Hooping as Healing Art and Social Service

Writing Your Hoopdance (Revolva), Hooping as Sacred Movement (Jewels), Hooping with Special Populations (Ariana & Laura), Hooping & The Chakras (Tracey), More TBA

Closing ceremonies TBA

We are also including some business and teaching information. Some info will be included in the orientation packet for you. Circle Ups on these topics TBA. More details are being finalized everyday. Stay tuned for teacher bios and more details on events.

REGISTRATION
Full event, five days = $350 (This includes all workshops, jams, forums)
Three days = $250
Day passes = $95
Class or event passes will be released as times are confirmed and may vary depending upon the event. Some events will be free and open to the public.

2008-01-11T18:11:09Z

I purchased an Early Bird Package for Tribal Con in Decatur, GA (Feb 22-24) but I am no longer able to attend :/ It's a really great event. I've been before and was really looking forward to going again, but...things do happen, no? Check out the tribe "Awalim" or look at the website www.tribalcon.com for all that is being offered. It's three full days of workshops with some amazing tribal bellydancers and musicians.

What I've got is this: Three full day passes, ticket for Saturday night show with seating in the first 2 rows, and t-shirt...all for $230. If you tried to purchase all of this stuff now it would be closer to $300. Please let me know if you are interested! Also, if you get hotel rooms TODAY (Friday 11 Jan) there is a block of rooms for $99 per night. Thanks :)

Web Design Instruction?

2008-01-06T17:16:47Z

I'm in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area and I would like to learn web design.

I have a lot of experience with using Dreamweaver (basic changing text, adding pages, creating links, etc.) and also have a lot of experience creating web design architecture (coming up with the pages, layout, navigation, while the designer makes it happen), but I am now ready to learn design.

I'm very web savvy and a quick learner.

I only know the basics of HTML, but I love it so far.

I would be up for learning how to design using Dreamweaver and/or with backend HTML.

I learn easiest with a combination of reading/self learning and hands-on/instruction, so I would definitely do my studying (I've already started) but I'd like to be someone's apprentice - and get some hands on instruction too.

I can offer payment and/or bartering as well. I am a writer and social media marketer for barter.

Thanks!

First National Hooper's Conference!!!

2008-01-03T00:33:39Z

Hoop Convergence ~ Friday April 11 - Wednesday April 16, 2008

Please join us for the very first national (hopefully International!) Hooper’s Conference -- The Hoop Convergence.

The Hoop Convergence is the bringing together of a wide variety of hoopers from all over the world to create a synergistic learning environment where we will address all aspects of hooping. There will be panel discussions and workshops with a variety of amazing teachers and hoopers from all over the United States.

The Convergence will be held in beautiful the Hooper Haven of Carrboro, NC. Everything in this wonderful town is in walking distance and already many local hoopers are opening their homes or offering camping on their property to visiting hoopers from all over the country. Make plans to join us now.

To learn more, volunteer, make suggestions or arrange for a place to stay, please join the tribe Hoop Convergence at: http://tribes.tribe.net/hoopconvergence

Here are some of the amazing workshops and activities that are confirmed as of right now:

HOOP SKILLS WORKSHOPS
Currently, Spiral, Revolva, Caroleeena and Jewels are all confirmed to teach. These workshops will teach a variety of hooping techniques, including hand work, footwork, bodywork and dance, as well as hooping specialties, such as street performance and twin hooping. There will be workshops appropriate to all skill levels and other classes will be added to the curriculum as they are confirmed. Workshop details are forthcoming.

YOGA, INJURY PREVENTION & HEALING
We will host an injury prevention discussion panel made up of yogis, hoopers, massage therapists and other body/mind workers and healers. Hopefully we will be able to offer a HoopYoga workshop as well.

COSTUME DESIGN and THEATER MAKE-UP WORKSHOPS
In addition to learning costume design and theater make-up, the Convergence will also include a trade circle, a costume swap, sewing and non-sewing methods for making/decorating costumes, pattern shares, and a discussion where we will share ideas about themes, hoopable clothing and info for creating fire safe costumes . If you stay for the entire week, there will be excursions to some kick ass thrift stores too! (Then, after the Convergence, you can try out your new threads at Shakori Hills the following weekend!)

COMMUNITY, SERVICE PROJECTS and WORLD HOOP DAY
There will also be a discussion panel on community building, event planning, service projects and World Hoop Day. Hoopin' Annie O, creator of World Hoop Day, Jewels, who created Hoops for Haiti, and Caroleeena, who started the Henrietta Jensen Outreach and Education Project in Jamaica are all confirmed and will all be available to help you envision and manifest your world hoop day events or community outreach projects. (Hopefully Xta will be able to make it also!)

FIRE
On Saturday night, we will have a drum circle and fire ceremony with fire dancing. If you haven't fire hooped before, this could be your moment! There will also be discussions on Fire Philosophy & Ritual, Safety, Tool Repair, Craft and Professionalism. (There may also be a workshop highlighting a variety of different fire hoops and build techniques. We may not have time amidst everything else to build our own fire hoops, but maybe. If not, I'm sure you can order one from a local crafter to be customized for you and ready for your arrival to NC or to be shipped to you when you return home.)

JAM ~ DANCE PARTY
Sunday night, we will have a funky, dressy, jamming hoop hop set. There will also be a pre-party, house-party for dressing and making up!

OTHER THINGS we hope to include are:
Performances by and for each other
Publicity and Marketing
Business Management and Taxes for Professionals
Teaching Techniques
Hooping with kids
Sharing Poetry and Stories
Hoop Philosophy and Spirituality

Finally, if we can manage it, and if we have enough people at Shakori Hills, I think it would be fun to try to choreograph and premier the world’s largest choreographed hoop dance! I know they would let us do it there. We just have to see if we can make it happen!

We have lots of other ideas too – Circus hooping, Native American Hoop Dance, Rhythmic Gymanastics, Hoop Yoga, integrating specific types of dance into hooping, and more – but those things may have to wait until next year … unless you know someone willing and/or able to teach! If you have an idea for a workshop, please join the Hoop Convergence Tribe and share it with us! http://tribes.tribe.net/hoopconvergence

If you would like to teach or lead a discussion panel, please post that on the Hoop Convergence tribe too or feel free to PM a description to Jewels at hoopflow@gmail.com. We will accommodate what we can given space availability and group sizes. Teaching or leading a panel will enable you to attend other workshops for free. Depending on our turnout, you will hopefully also receive compensation for your efforts. (We are still working out the estimated costs for this event but we are working to keep them reasonable. Several teachers are volunteering altogether.)

Prices and other details will follow soon. New items are being added everyday!

If you can stay through the week, festivities, workshops, discussion panels and field trips will be offered Friday through Wednesday. Then, on Thursday, we'll head over to Silk Hope for a great, family-friendly, hooper-rich, inexpensive local music festival with incredibly sweet vibes through the following Sunday!

If you can't stay through the week and for the music festival, there will be plenty of hoopy goodness happening during the weekend from Fri - Sun/Mon. Do try to stay Sunday night for a big jam and costuming pre-party though!

For more information about the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Peace and Dance (April 17 - 20, 2008), go to: www.shakorihills.org

Again, if you are willing and able to participate in any way, please do! Your input and expertise are essential. So please join the Hoop Convergence tribe today. We hoopfully hope to hoop with you soon!

Hoop Blissfully,

purification ceremony (NYE)

2007-12-30T16:26:24Z

Kadampa Center
5412 Etta Burke Ct.
Raleigh, NC

Dorje Khadro Purification Puja
Monday, December 31st, 2007
7:00pm

Event Description
Over the course of the year, we plant lots of harmful karmic seeds from unskillful actions that will eventually ripen as suffering. Kadampa Center’s annual New Year's Eve Dorje Khadro Fire Puja, a powerful Mahayana purification practice, offers us an opportunity to go into the new year with a clean slate. Bring your families and friends and join fellow Kadampans for a brief New Year's Eve celebration starting at 7pm in the center followed by the fire puja practice outside. Wear warm clothing and bring lots of black sesame seeds to burn; these symbolize past negative karmic actions. (Seeds can be purchased at any Asian market.)

Hoop Liberation Jam, Carrboro, NC

2007-12-28T15:23:30Z

Given the long weekend to honor Marting Luther King Jr's honorable life's work, I have reserved the Carrboro Century Center for a Hoop Jam. As a firm believer in civil disobedience and working for social justice, I would like to dance with others in honor of those who have fought against all odds for human rights. Unfortunately, there are still many battles ahead for individuals around the world.
Let us dance in honor of those who have walked difficult but righteous paths before us; those who currently strive to make the world a more hospitable place; and for those who will carry on this tradition and speak out for those whose voices might otherwise be unheard . Let us dance in gratitude for the beauty that exists all around us and in prayer for a world that is more respectful of all the miracles of life.

Sunday, Jan 20, 2008
Carrboro Century Center (www.carrboro.com/centurycenter.html)
7 - 10 pm
Open to all skill levels
Dress casual/comfy to superfly
$5 donation for space rental appreciated :-)
Bring hoops or other flow tools. Some hoops provided

I am game for an opening parade to exercise our right to dance in Carrboro if anyone else would like to walk along Weaver St to remind folks how important social movement is!

HOOP CRAFT
Hoop crafting session at Julia's new home during the afternoon prior to jam. If you are lookin' to craft a new hoop or refurbish an old one, come on out. Cost dependent upon materials used. More details to follow in hoopdance tribe (tribes.tribe.net/hoopdance) and by event invitation. You are welcome to get dressed at my place and I would eagerly open my closet for those looking to play dress up;-)

Seduction Sideshow-Asheville's newest Burlesque troupe

2007-12-13T17:05:53Z

Seduction Sideshow, Asheville's newest Burlesque troupe will make their debut this Sat. the 15th at the Mothership on Emma Rd. in West Asheville. Their new show entitled Varietease features an all star cast performing original vaudeville, circus sideshow and Burlesque acts to tantalize the senses and postulate the posterior. Look for Asheville celebrities cleverly disguised as Ophelia Often, Miss Treatment, Lufu and Private Parts to name a few. See daring Ariel art, naughty hooping, fire artist with members of Unifire Theatre and the luckiest Man alive...Sneaky McFly. A free afterparty with Dj's, dancing and meet the cast continues until 4 am. All for 5 skins! Probably the last time you will pay so little to see so much. Doors open at 9 pm with DJ Mayah and the show begins promptly at Ten. A BYOB event.

New to the Triad area...

2007-11-27T03:46:46Z

Hello everyone. I just moved back to this area after 4 years of world travel. Looking for some new friends who have and interest in the entheogenic lifestyle, travel, and culture-exchange, art, etc. Love to hear from you folks.

Entheogen Enthusiasts Unite

2007-11-14T18:49:25Z

I'm looking for other entheogenic users to meet and discuss experiences, ideas, and the future of the community. I'm currently staying in the mountains along Virginia and North Carolina (about 40 minutes from Winston-Salem) for the next eight months as I prepare my move to Hawaii to complete my studies in Ethnobotany. I'm looking for folks who have a real interest in the subject of Shamantically used plant-based medicines. Also, I'm attempting to plan a trip to Peru in July for at least two weeks to experience Ayahuasca - so, anyone who's been to Peru, used Ayahuasca (in it's traditional settings or in the US), or those of you who might be thinking about making the trip down, to get in touch.

I'm not trying to form a 'professional group of peers,' but rather a group of interested individuals who can commune together in a relaxed setting and share ideas. It is my hope that following each meeting we will post our ideas, art, and inspiration on the Bohemians of the Triad page. If you'd like more information, please feel free to message me here or email it to ajaxspence@yahoo.com I look forward to hearing from you.

FreeFall festival NEWS

2007-09-26T12:54:04Z

To all who are planning to attend FreeFall this weekend...

WE HAVE A PROBLEM. WE REPEAT, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

The water pump to the festival site is down. We are working hard to repair this. Still, anyone attending should plan to bring water for themselves for the weekend, as the likelihood is that this situation won't be fixed by then.

Also, anyone who has not received their invitations in email, please let us know this at freefallticketcritter@yahoo.com, or email me at merritt137@yahoo.com. We seem to be having some trouble with invitations being rejected as Spam.

We will try to email everyone coming with these updates, but are posting this here in the hope of getting the word out.

We are still looking forward to a great time, good folks are arriving and setting up already, can't wait to see y'all here at Serendipity!!

XXXOOO,
Me

Tate St. Festival Sat, Sept. 29th

2007-09-06T20:41:29Z

Once again it's that other time of the year that we Greensboro residents celebrate Tate St. Festival, and this time around it's carnivale themed. Anybody interested in boothing or performing should call Jamie Coggins at 336-314-0715. She is looking for tallented people to entertain the family audience of the street. If your a juggler, a burner, a drummer, or you have some other special carnival talent, you should call Jamie immediately, due to spaces being filled up. Tate St. Fest attracts hundreds of audience members, and is a blast every time. I totally recomend you all come out!
-Smokin' McQueen

P.S. Don't call in the morning, she's grumpy then.
