THe EpiC SummEr QTPoC Retreat

AUGUST 20th-22nd, 2010

Location: INDIANOLA, WA

(on the peninsula) address will be given upon registration

We would love for you to join us for a cooperative rejuvenating and healing weekend. We are pooling our skills and resources to create a time and space for us to recharge.

Our vision includes YOU, your beautiful bodies, brains, and your participation in this lovely weekend extravaganza.

The Deets

FoOd
Our goal is to be able to provide full and nutritious meals that are nourishing and delicious for the entire weekend. We’ll try to provide organic veggies, gluten-free and dairy-free options. We are outreaching to several local farms and collecting donations. We are also putting a call out for donations from your garden as well as anything else you may be able to contribute. We would especially love your help with teas, honey, agave, and some of the more expensive condiments.

hEaliN’
Reiki, guided meditation, yoga, Tarot readings, sound healing, good food, beautiful company, idyllic scenery, jam sessions (bring your musical instruments!), AND whatever else you want to offer that is healing to you. One-on-one healing sessions and group classes will be offered as well as some learn-with-us workshops.

lOdgiNg
There are 3 Beds, plenty of floor space, and camping space available. We will be providing childcare and organizing rideshares to get people there. There is space for approximately 18 people. Accommodations will be given out on a first-come first-serve basis with ultimate priority given based on ability. We expect that many people will not be able to participate in the whole weekend but please don’t let that stop you from coming. Just let us know what you need and together we can find the best solutions for any situation.

Our intention has been to support each other in taking good care and being well. So please bring yourself, your skills and whatever financial support you can to realize this vision. We are serious about the power of collective healing through learning and experience in community. AND having a goodass time!!!

Please reflect on your resources, time, energy when considering how much to contribute for three days of fabulousness, healing, and skill sharing. Contributions can be: foods, money, skills, energy, conversation, and love. To offset some costs, we’re asking for a donation of $0-30 for the weekend. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. So please bring yourself your skills and whatever financial support you can to realize this vision.


SAY YES CuZ YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!

2010 Seattle Out and Proud Pride Parade- Sunday, June 27th

Posted by Mona

The QFSUW is still seeking people to march in the 2010 Seattle Out and Proud Pride Parade to represent the the University of Washington for Sunday, June 27, 2010, 11am-3pm. We are inviting all members of the UW community to march with us in solidaritary to show our support for our GLBTQA brothers and sisters.

This includes not only those who identify as GLBTQ but our allies as well! This promises to be a great time for us all to come together and show our Husky Pride while demonstrating our acceptance and appreciation of each other!

For a university with a student population of at least 42,907 students, 5,803 faculty, and 16,174 staff, we should be able to break our record of 11 marchers from last year. If you are interested in marching the parade, please contact Aaron Olson (alolson@uw.edu) so that we know to expect you. Please feel free to forward this email to friends and family who may also be interested in joining us!

P.S. One of the grand marshals for this year's parade is UW Alumnus David Kopay, Class of 1964.
