Thanks Simon for sharing a peak behind the curtain. I had tears well up, for the depth of meaningfulness and loving connections you enjoyed, for the significance and 'undeniability' of a community who have been deep diving for decades, some falling into the shadows and others skating along the fringes of 'cultural and political approval', who are now seemingly coming into an age of maturity and togetherness as you describe it, of taking stock and making sense of the contribution that it's possible to make in a world waking up afraid of the mess it's unconscious has made. The light and the dark of the movement are seeing each other more clearly perhaps, learning to dance as one, how wonderful. Makes me want to order an early bird ticket for next time.

I love that you're hanging out with Rhoney Gissen Stanley. I'm not jealous at all. 🤪
