Run a workshop, Offer massage or tarot readings,
Feed the hungry children a spectacular meal!
Perform in the no-talent show, play music!
Walk to the creek, unwind, let your hair down,
Dress up for dinner, share in a circle, cry on a shoulder
Fall in love, touch and cuddles, silent solitude on a hill
Dance, stretch, wake up the body
Feel powerful, feel magical,
be brave be queer be naked,
be sexy be silly be still
Fill the cup.

Faerie Sex Magick
2022-10-22 - 2022-10-29 | NSW
Consider these questions . . .
How can I extend the limits of intimacy with my community?
Does sex constrain or expand my relationships with men?
How can I better integrate sexual play and my desires into my intimate relationships?

Does recreational sex diminish my capacity for intimacy in a committed relationship?

How does the prevailing society’s prudishness dampen and undermine the intimacy in my relationships?

How does my sexuality and my spirituality inter-relate?

Are my sexual and my spiritual aspects one in the same?

If any of these issues resonate with you, join us for a concentrated exploration and testing of the waters of deeper intimacy, Sex Magick, and spirit/sex integration. Based on the successful and provocative workshops developed by Harry Hay, this 7-day retreat is designed to challenge and take down the habits and patterns keeping us from achieving levels of intimacy not previously found.

From under mossy rocks, fingers are creeping… from within the ancient hollows of twisted trees, eyes are peering. Through dewy spider webs quivering in the breeze, riding on an earthworm up from underneath dead leaves. The goblins are coming! The goblins are coming! The goblyns are here!!! To cackle and gaggle and frocklic and faint under a full moon on this very specific date.

Come drizzle your creative juices in this salivating soup of sensation!

Tree planting / Glitterball planning
2022-08-27 09:00 - 2022-08-28 09:00 | Faerieland, Wadeville, NSW, 2474, Australia
At winter solstice 2022 we started a huge land-care project: planting 500 native rainforest seedlings to restore the damage faerieland sustained from the recent floods.
Join us this weekend for the 3rd and final panting this wet winter season! There will be yummy food, groovy tunes and gorgeous magical beings for you to connect with. We will head out into the field at 9am, so arrive early Saturday morning or the night before!
After we finish the winter planting we will take a moment over dinner to look forward to spring and begin preparing for our annual Glitterball. This years theme will be: GOBLYN.
If you are interested in performing, DJing, creating decor, stage management, lighting design or are just keen to help out and get amongst it, this is a great opportunity to connect in person and collectively conjure up this fun community event. Including deciding on what the glitterball ball will be fundraising for. Perhaps this will be the birth of a faerie arts collective??
No registration required. Indoor sleeping spaces available on a first come first serve basis. Camping/Van room available.
Free event – donations into the tin are welcome.

Rebirth: Winter Solstice 2022
2022-06-27 - 2022-06-30 | Faerieland, Wadeville, NSW, 2474, Australia
As the spring flows, the land swells and lurches. The liquified earth spills onto the moon meadow and weeds compete to colonise new niches. The Monkey Terrace now features multiple levels, the ridge road is impassable and dams overflowing with mud have collapsed.
The ground is not all that is in flux at Faerieland. With the last of the founding members departing, Griffyn and Chameleon put out a call for new energy, and five members of the broader community have recently moved in. Spryte, Puck, Colours, Cyrhs and I (Tellurian).
We spend our days tending the gardens and land, dispelling stale energy from forgotten corners and most importantly, connecting with each other. We are energised and excited to rediscover what it means to be Fae and to shine this beacon of light across the queer community.
Each of us brings unique gifts that combined and invested here will build on the last 20 years of culture. There is an invitation implicit in that. And a welcome. With the support of the Teacosy, Seamus, Griffyn and Chameleon we are empowering ourselves to ignite this Sanctuary into blazing life.
All seemed to be elated by hope following our first ‘official’ meeting recently. Beyond sharing our own joys, vulnerabilities and challenges, we discussed the option of organising ourselves with a Sociocratic community structure and using a Consent Decision Making process in place of the old consensus model.
Hopefully these tools will enable us to cohesively move towards our common vision which, incidentally, we have been brainstorming too. What is our purpose here? What are our shared values?
Here’s some of what we have at this point in our journey together: We are stewards of the land. We are custodians of Radical Faerie culture. We are activists. We are radical. We honour the Sacred Silly (praise be).
After all was said and done at the rebirth meeting, we drank homemade cherry wine by firelight and dreamt up all the future possibilities. A sauna; a kitchen renovation; a flock of geese; and a calendar of vibrant art and culture.
Perhaps we’ll start by inviting you all here to a Winter Solstice Gathering. It might be an opportunity for crowdsourced answers to some of our biggest questions.
What does Radical Faerie mean to you?
What can this Sanctuary offer you?
