Dearest Fae Family and Friends,
Our 11th Annual Queer Shaman's Gathering is a mere four (4) weeks away! ZMS is like a hive, all of the busy bees buzzing about, and honey, the honey is sweet! We thought you might like an update on happenings and such.
Many folks have been visiting us this season, familiar and new. So many of our visitors are arriving with the intention of contributing in whatever way they can to the multitude of building and maintenance projects going on in and around ZMS. We say "Thank You All!"
Tea Rooms has just received an overdue facelift and structural mudding! She also features brand new colors, and the back door is open once again - you know how we LOVE that! The newly opened space in Tea Rooms North is a gorgeous common space for congregating, card reading, heart circles, you name it. And she even has gorgeous new colored glass bottle windows! BIG kisses to Cary Cahill for taking the lead on Tea Rooms, and working that building with the utmost love and pride.
All of our buildings need some work on the roofing and insulation; NOT a small task, but one that we feel we can handle with the right skill-sets and guidance.
Juniper House, particularly, needs attention in both roof and structural support, as well as new and improved insulation.
We are digging the new Outhouse!
"Xenophilia" - an Old School Gallery Dance Party curated by Randy Greysage takes place Friday, July 15!
Bath House construction begins soon! Faeries are arriving in the coming days and weeks to erect the ZMS water temple!
Arts & Wellness Weekend in July (22 - 24) will focus intentions on the Bath House.
Trash pickup along BIA-135/County Road 48 this weekend!
Magical Sex Workshop Weekend from July 15 - 17, facilitated by Cyrwyn.
We are participating in Gallup Pride on July 30, an event in her 3rd year, and we are preparing food on that day for the Queer Women of Color Film Festival to coincide with Pride activities.
Clown Camp will take place at Raven's Wing in Candy Kitchen, facilitated by Vanguard Balance Aug. 3 - 5, culminating with Rattlesnake Lounge on Saturday, Aug. 6!
11th Annual Queer Shaman's Gathering begins Aug. 12 (coincides w/ Perseid Meteor Shower), and continues through Aug. 21!
Also beginning Aug. 12, and running during much of the Gathering (ends Aug. 19), Old School Gallery presents "Marriage of the Moon and Jaguar", an exhibit of 50 paintings by our very own Huilo Marvavilla. Opening Night will feature a reception that includes a 40-minute documentary, "Tales of a Lunar Wizard: Dancing From Within the Void," described as "a docudrama, faerie film that tells the story of my shamanic artworks, and will inspire artists of all kinds."
Whew! What an ambitious twirl!
Thankfully, we are witnessing one another, we are mirroring one another, and we are holding one another. As you, Dear Reader, know all too well, ZMS is a magickal multi-verse of a place that brings out all of the inner work that we as humans in shaman form (or shamans in various forms) need to see as it reveals itself. We have come together and collectively visioned all of us in an harmonious space of workshare and respect. Thank you all for your support, your prayers, your blessings.
Please note we encourage everyone to let us know as they do about arrival details. Rides for the upcoming gathering are a bit on the expensive side ($80 for trips to/from ABQ airport). Look for an upcoming "ShamGath Rideshare" Google Group! Registration for Shaman's Gathering can happen by replying to this e-mail missive!
Also, our indoor space is packed to the rafters, so please bring tents and sleeping bags. The weather is divoon! If you'd like to contribute via action that doesn't necessitate bodily presence, we can certainly use more tents to house all of the workers!
Other significant contributions could appear in the form of Medical Kit supplies (snake bite kits are always welcome), spices and/or dried goods for Kitchen, tools, magazines/books, paper supplies, shower and Bath House supplies (!), art supplies, coffee beans, or plain old $. One could click on http://zms.org/joinsupport.html and contribute in that way.
So looking forward to seeing you all in the swirl! Come join us for a soak! And, don't forget - we are in The Year Of The Clown!
Blessed Be,
Zuni Mountain Sanctuary
