SLUT

A person of any gender who has the courage to lead life according to the RADICAL proposition that SEX is NICE and PLEASURE is GOOD for you

Glitter, Quantum Sex, Radical Authenticity
Queer Heart Talking Circle at the Awaken Studio

I feel so great…
There might be the possibility of a RADICAL shift in ME!
Glitter, Quantum Sex, Radical Authenticity…
Smiling Contented Satisfied
After the circle gathered and spoke, shared
After the Magic of the talisman and the gathering of GLITTER
After the circle closed in frivolity, laughter
After the walk over to our house
After sitting and sharing a meal
After gabbing and teasing and more laughter
The boys gone home,
The dishes done

Looking forward to the next gathering,
Looking forward to the next opening
Looking forward to the next time my heart will melt and flood everything and everyone around me with LOVE.

On the other side of fear lies freedom…

  • What would happen if you had more freedom?
  • What would happen if you felt the fear and let the fear move through you?
  • What would happen if you could feel the freedom and let the freedom move through you?
