Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.
“We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal gtrirowth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.” |

PrePink: Convertible Pervert-ables!
On January - 17 - 2012
Friday, February 10th, 2011 – 9pm to 10:15pm
Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way
Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month we consider how to make kinky toys from everyday objects:
Convertible Pervert-ables!!
Everyday items transformed into delicious toys of sensual torture and delight? Are your ready to pervert your kitchen utensils? Yes? Yes! In this class we will discover the wonderful world of kinky toy making. Topics will include how to use your creativity when making your pervert-ables, materials that are well suited for kinky crafting, safety, and ways of making your new toys work for you. This class is geared towards those who want to add some variety to their toy bags as well as folks committed to having the only one of a kind! Whether you are edgy or just playful this playshop will help you to be creatively sexy!
Presenter: UltraViolet
A San Francisco native, UltraViolet is known as an “energizer Top” – she can play all night and still want more, much to the delight of her lucky playmates. Some of the toys that she has a special fondness for are single tails, floggers, and the dreaded yet also welcomed rubber bands, also known as “candy stripes”. In her spare time she enjoys corset-making, fetish photography, and conspiring with other sadists. UltraViolet also has a talent for making her own “implements of torture” as most of your “garden variety” toys are just not quite mean enough for her.

Hello fellow Adventurers!
Thanks to everyone that has signed up for Palenque 2012!
If you have not signed up but are curious about the adventure of a lifetime, check out the official Palenque 2012 website.
PLANNING MEETING
Whether you’re curious and want to learn more, or you’ve already bought your flights, come and join us for a planning meeting!
ABOUT PALENQUE 2012
Palenque 2012 is an invitation, not an organization.
We have put an idea in motion and invited people to join us.
We selected a location and a date- the rest is up to you. It’s an experiment in self organizing celebration
We expect a hundred people will show up- maybe two. People are registering every day.
There will be performances, workshops, talks, rituals, music, dance, and storytelling, happening all day every day, but don’t expect to sit back and be entertained. We are coming together on equal footing, and your contribution is vital. Soon we will send out more information about the different ways you can participate. If you want to perform, teach, talk, guide, or lead then there will be an opportunity for that to happen.

Essence Community Presents:
Divining your Elemental Self: an enchanted ritual workshopLed by Brendan Random
|
||
|
Essence and Theater of The Sacred are summoning you to grow into the deeper, imaginal, fertile and sexy domain of your SELF-expression. From 9 to 10pm, before the party begins, please join director/educator Brendan Random for an earth-magic-ritual-theater workshop to Re-Divine your raw and sublime natural essence. Brendan will guide us in moving meditation and elemental trance practice. Once in a deeper state of receptivity, divine, archetypal personages will be introduced for the poetic mind to choose from and dive into. The final portion of the playshop will bring participants together to interact and prepare for further engagement throughout the evening. What happens when a creature of fire and a creature of water interact? They make steam and possibly more. Find out for yourself at the Essence Playshop and get warmed up for an amazing evening of connection and exploration. |
