Greetings Kindred!
It is that time of year again and I am working to plan our next season's events as this season winds down!
February 26th-29th, 2009 (Andie's Birthday! What a gift!)
S.O.N.G (Southerners On New Ground)
Poor People Of Color Conference! Wow! In one of the most racist counties in Mississippi! Winds of Change are~a~blowing! SONG/LIGHT/LOVE!!
March 20th - 23rd, 2009 (Spring Equinox)
P.A.G.A.N. Event (Pagan Awareness Gathering And Networking)
This event is a regional event to host pagans from the Gulf South area and beyond. We are starting to come out of the "broom closets" in a big way and we need to start figuring out how to best use our resources to educate about our religion. Anyone interested in doing workshops, entertaining, and vending should contact Andrea! Witch Hill will also be celebrating Don and Amanda's Wedding! Y'all want to see an incredible ritual?! This will be one for sure!! We throw down and raise the cone of power UP in a big way!!
April 10th - 12th, 2009 (Easter Weekend)
The 18th annual Gulf Coast Womyn's Festival!
This event is dedicated to Brenda Henson, Ed. S. who is the co-founder of Sister Spirit, Incorporated and the founder of CSS Folk School's mother! This is a women only event! Spoken Poetresses with DEEP messages will be here and a Drag King show from a troupe out of N'awlins! We are proud to say that we do NOT discriminate against trans women! If you are living as a woman...you are Well~Come here with us! (I have been GirlCotting Michigan Festival for years!) Discrimination is wrong and it hurts to see LGBT people doing it to one another! Don't we have enough coming at us already!?
May 1st-3rd, 2009 (Beltane!)
The 4th Annual Southeast Regional LGBT Summit!
The Folk School is Co-Sponsored with the Mississippi ACLU, Mississippi Rainbow Alliance, the University of Southern Mississippi's Gay~Straight Alliance and Equality Mississippi! A great drag show will be hosted by Mississippi Exquisite Pageantry!
