Formed: 1996 Established: 1996
Downie Street
Peterborough, Ontario,
Canada
 We are a unique coalition of three distinct, opulent variations of creative outbursts sharing life (and a beauteous backyard) in a triplex. We are playful faeries, brooding poets, insane beasts, soul seekers, artful magicians, truthful explorers, Zen masters, wizards, magical manifestors, smarter than dictionaries, creative geniuses, and humble as hell. We love to play, dance, create, feast, cuddle, and live in community together, basking in the flux of harmony and chaos.
As our membership changes so do our specific practices, but we are always into sharing meals (varying tendencies towards vegetarian, local, organic); appreciating and honouring each other and the universe; practicing alternative ways of living and healing; communicating and freely and honestly learning, growing, and discovering new things; caring for each other and contributing to the broader community; and journeying and creating alone and together, and facilitating spaces for others as well. We like to be in the backyard under the trees and spend time in the forest too!
