Sydney ConFesters gatherings are a living community of accepting people who gather together to celebrate life in nature and creativity, and to invent new ways of being in community that are healthy, safe, free and inclusive. This is a clothing-optional gathering.
SO WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS? Here’s some examples of what’s been co-created in the past:-
• Welcome Circles
• Communal lunch & dinner meals created together from food we bring & share
• Communal Chai Tea
• Interesting, engaging conversations
• Drumming & dancing
• Nightly warm fires at the Fire Pit
• Soaking in the Hot Tub under the stars
• Dress up or down as you please, this is a clothing optional event.
• Workshops are created by you & me, some usual examples are;
• Art - Life drawing or dot painting
• Writing - journaling, morning pages, poetry
• Dancing or movement or hugging
• Yoga, acro and laughter yoga
• Self defence
• Music - Singing or Drumming
• Breathing, nutrition & wellness
Thinking of running a workshop? Post it on Facebook - it is a lovely, intimate way to share your knowledge and skills. Bring musical instruments - most nights we have drumming/music circle. As a community we all participate in making them happen as we each offer a valuable and unique contribution towards the end result. Sydney ConFesters gatherings are about freedom of expression, responsibility and self-respect.Although the organisers are endeavouring to make the environment as safe as practical, the bottom line is that everyone needs to take full responsibility for their own health and take their own precautions at all times to keep themselves safe.
