The Great Unmasking

How many of you feel like the world is going back to normal, but you're not ready to?

I (Sara) have gotten more in-person event invites in the past week than I got in the whole pandemic. Most people are vaccinated; everyone seems to want to party. But nobody has come out and said that Things Are Changing, or talked about what we want to do or feel about that.

This event is a ritual of transformation. It is an acknowledgement that the last year was fucking crazy, beautiful, rough, and has left all of us with both tattoos and scars. It is a bridge between the world we've been in, and the world we seem to be entering now - because I think we need a way to step over that threshold, instead of stumbling awkwardly one by one into figuring out how to hug again.

We'll talk about self care and social skills to help us open up to the world again -- all while acknowledging that this is WEIRD and nobody has a road map for how this should go.

DRESS CODE
Anything you can take off to symbolically help you to open up.

From cloaks and masks to shedding extra skin (if you’re reptilians or crustaceans and it’s time to molt the old one)

COME PREPARED WITH:

- Fire, like a fire-safe bowl, candle, fire pan, or the like

- Paper and a writing implement
