Some of you might be interested in this event:

Albion Faeries present:

Yuletide at Featherstone Castle,

a UK EuroFaerie gathering.

Join us 20 - 28 December 2007 for:
- log fires,
- faerie feasts,
- heart circles for the body and soul,
- music,
- drumming,
- dance,
- solstice celebration.

Faerie is a self-chosen identity - this gathering is for all adult faeries
(16+), irrespective of gender and sexuality.

Probably most of the faeries at this event will be gay men, but there will
probably be some women as well.

For details see:

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST

For most events we operate a sliding scale of charges related to
your income. Bursaries are available for those on very low income.
In 2005 for the first time we ran one event asking participants to
pay what they could afford bearing in mind the break even cost and
we are repeating this in 2006. No one should be deterred from coming
to an event because of the cost.

HOW TO JOIN US

Any gay man who agrees with our principles and intentions is welcome
to join. You will find these with further details of our 2006
programme and a booking form, at our website
www.edwardcarpentercommunity.org.uk  Alternatively telephone 0870
321 5121, email info@... or write to The
Edward Carpenter Community, BM ECC London WC1N 3XX for our 2006
events booklet and more details about us.


`….and perhaps this after all is a general rule: namely that people
should endeavour (more than they do) to express or liberate their
own real deep-rooted needs and feelings. Then in doing so they will
probably liberate and aid the expression of the lives of thousands
of others…'

birthday in 1914

Each October/November, we discuss and agree the evenst we will run in the following year. Brief information should be up on the web site shortly after the meeting, with full descriptions of events either at the end of 2006 or early in the new year.
 
The next scheduled event is the New Year event at Wasdale, which is listed on the web site.
 
Chris.

Hi Lewis
 
I think that the website is correct insofar as the next week-long event is over the New Year at Wasdale in the Lake District - hopefully not too far from Glasgow. There should be more details about this soon.
 
Most events happen over the summer and details for those come out usually in January or February. Info might be available earlier. And there are quite often events at other times of year. Most of the longer events are held in the Lake District or SW Scotland.
 
For email announcements when info is ready, join ecc-public-announce on Yahoo Groups.

Hi All

Just posted this on the ECC spirituality week group and thought you
might like it too

Love to all

Mike

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our
darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, `who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?` Actually, who are not
to be? You are a child of the Universe. Your playing small does not
serve the world. There is nothing so enlightening about shrinking so
that other people won`t feel insecure around you. We are born to
make manifest the glory of god which is within us. It is not in just
some of us, it is in all of us. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we
are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically
liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

-hi there russell

  i think if your aim is "shagging in the country" then you realy
will be missing the point of an e.c.c. event! shagging in the
country can be arranged through many web sites. while its true that
intimacy can be found and on ocasion alot more, too book an event
with the gaol being a shag in the woods would be wrong in
my "personnal" veiw.
  read "Principles and Intentions" on the main e.c.c. page for a more
detailed veiw of what "may" happen.

every e.c.c. event ive been on has been a spiritual experience of
one kind or another.
  we all bring an ingredient throw it in the pot and see what cooks
up.

and as for partners? bring, don,t bring its your path your following
isint it?

stay well

Hi Russell

Some people go with partners, but probably not the majority.

Some people will know quite a lot of other people on the event, and there
are usually/(always?) some first-timers.

People/we get up to all sorts of things - the "News and Views" section of
the website

http://www.edwardcarpentercommunity.org.uk

gives some more details if you have not read it already.

And there are loads more things that happen than have yet been described
there.

And on any given week I've been on there are probably lots of things that
happen that I don't know about (especially on the weeks wit the larger
numbers of people), and lots that I do.

I feel most of the weeks have some sort of spiritual aspect, in a broad
sense.

There are usually a lot of opportunities to be with people in a variety of
ways.

Myself, I've been back lots of times.

Frank

I very much recommend Rictor Norton’s website (and books) for anyone interested in gay history. (I don’t have any shares in his publisher or anything.) It’s at http://www.infopt.demon.co.uk/.

 

London Metropolitan Archives has held a gay history conference the last two autumns (which Rictor has attended.)

 

The Hall-Carpenter Archives hold our historical material. See http://www.lse.ac.uk/library/archive/gutoho/hall_carpenter_archives.htm.

hello everyone
 
my name is steven      since ive joined this group i didnt realise how many people were subscribed
 
so an introduction
 
i live in oxford and am very involved in queer myth    im currently putting together an evening of queer occurrence in myth and history - the fact that weve always been around and also exploring different cultures' sacred framings of our experience
 
i am also developing working with nature and ceremony and am a nascent shaman - a word so misused as to be almost meaningless but the best one i have right now for a role our society no longer trains us in     perhaps mediator with the mystery would be better     i explore this particularly utilising the body and voice and am also exploringsacred sexuality - i hope to attend one of your workshops soon, john
 
if anyone is interested in these topics please contact me as i am pretty much researching with only the internet so far and it would be good to chat with other people interestedin queer spirit     i also hope to attend an ecc event soon
 
so for now good by
with love
steven

Why are we suddenly getting these annoying  e mails,   and then an annoying

mind members writing or promoting things, for the ECC or not,   but not some
anonymous business promoting some sex thing... Don't we all get enough spam
sex things promoting twinks / bears / lesbians / big boobs etc.

Are there no controls by the mediator of this group ?

The main ECC Smartgroups email group is restricted to ECC members only
(i.e. those who have attended an ECC event). The idea of a *public* ECC
discussion group is a good one in principle - so that, for example,
non-members can ask questions about or discuss ECC.

I would expect that discussions between, or directed to, ECC members
woud be on the main ECC email group and this group would be mainly used
as a means of responding to non-members.

Very few people have in fact made use of this group but, looking
through my archive of messages sent here, I can see that several people
have made contact in this way and may well have joined ECC as a result.
That in itself seems enough justification for this group.

As regards the spam problem on this group. I try not to comment on spam,
especially on the affected email group as it then increases the spam
related traffic. I am perhaps 'battle-hardened' to spam as I regularly
have to deal with 50-100 spams per day on my various email accounts at
work and home. If I read all of them I might eventually believe that I
was an obese, impotent, pornography addict (which is what most of them
seem to assume),

Thankyou for that chris jeffries. Considering I have never ever had a single e mail from this 'public discuss' group, and considering I have also never signed onto it, I think it's fair to say it has not been, and nor is it  now, popular with absolutely anyone.
 
Regardless of what it is called.
 
Nuisance e mails by the score are still a nuisance and if moderated, needs attention. 
 
Glad to say,  it has been sorted and I - like the other 45 people who have obviously not shown any interest in this 'public discussion ' e mail group,  will take my name off it.  What's the point of this 'public' group anyway ?

Thankyou for sorting out the dreaded spam mailings we were receiving.  I wasn't aware that membership of this e mail group was open to everyone who wanted to join without moderator intervention or being a member of the ECC itself.  That's what I had always been told and was for our protection against such things.  Do we want just anyone reading our intimate and 'in house' e mails sent through this group or is it to be kept private and 'in house'  just for the membership of ECC ?
 
I'm so glad not to be receiving thoe dreaded e mails any more.

Hi All

Sorry about the recent spate of spam.

I think it was clear from the group description that the multiple
advertising being sent was not within what the group was intended for
and I have removed the relevant member.

In order to make it easier for people to join the group membership was
previously set to Open (anyone can join); I have changed it so that
membership now requires approval.

Hmm - the name of the group says it all ecc-public-discuss. It is ecc moderated, it is for public discussion.

Thanks for that.  I don't actually know how I got on this e mail list as this was the first l;oad of e mails I have received from it...
I also didn't know there was a different list although was on it for a while when there were a few e mails about Hamilton Hall and I was astounded and absolutely gobsmacked at the support and praise offered for myself, Hamilton Hall and what I am doing here, by the membership. It brought a tear to my eye...
 
Thanks for enlightening me.
 
If you'd like a weekend with a friend for B&B as my guest when we are not quite so busy,  it would be my pleasure...
Have you ever been to Bournemouth ?
 
In Peace
 
John

Hi John...
I think maybe you are not aware of the nature of this group?
It is aptly named "ECC-public-discuss"
With an emphasis on the 'public'
This is the group we invite anyone - the general public -  to join to find out about ECC, what it is, how it works.
And that's one of the reasons it was left open for anyone to join.
We also made sure a few ECC members were also subscribed to help with any questions asked and chat to the 'public' who decided to join.
I'm amazed we haven't had loads of spamming in the past for that very reason.
 
So I'm not too sure if we shouldn't just keep a close eye on spammers & then like, and leave it open to the public.
 
Our ECC members group has around 300 members John, and no spammers. That is for people who have attended ECC events and so are aware of ECC and how it works. That is where - in your words - our intimate and 'in house' e mails  - are sent, not here.
 
Hope this helps clear it up for you.
 
Dave.

You're right of course John. Unfortunately so many people are unwilling
for whatever reason to put their ideas or points of view into email
form. I really don't know what will motivate someone into action. If
people are happy ot read others emails and simply lurk, then there isn't
a lot anyone can do about it. Unless the subject of an email is
stimulating or contoversial or raises issues that affect us all then
it's going to be an uphill struggle to get others involved.

I would like to see others have their say. What about some
introductions? We are not a massive group so it shouldn't be too
daunting. You can say as much or as little about yourself as you want.

What do others think? It would be nice to think that other people here
do actually have an opinion and feel safe enough in this environment to
be able to express themselves freely.

Big hugs to all

Mel, Uk
