I am not involved so I cant speak to how it is going now but I know that it was not going so well before. Perhaps if you might like to be in touch with them I can introduce you to Madigan who is a part of it.

> Yea, I think that makes more sense to me as incarnation. I think also that experimentation is part of the answer were there to be such a thing. His/herstory is important as well but we should also be unafraid to make mistakes because we will inevitably anyway right? I guess that's where ERROR comes in right? (ha ha, there are a few of us wearing our I heart Error bags together in L.A!)
> But thanks for the links Fabi and no I do not think spiritual discourse and if it is, I think that it is also okay to make new whatever this leak into spirituality is connected to.

> Everyone all has their own separate ides of freedom, sexuality, politics etc....in some ways I think it's all semantics etc. But I like what you say about it being a little dangerous. I think it should be.
> Fabi, you might like my friend Mattilda Sycamore Bernstein....look her up!
> She has a website....Anyways, one thing I really can into with Mattilda is the idea of being able to criticize our friends and ourselves, our compas if you will. I think that that is part of love being revolutionary. Which is equally cheesy right but even Che said, whatever kind of a lost cause pop culture icon he might seem now...the idea is that love is a guiding principle as much as being pissed off is.
