Who Are the Radical Faeries?
There are many independent groups of Radical Faeries globally with similar but varied values and intentions. We consider our particular group — the Cascadia Radical Faeries — to be an ever-changing collection of persons who believe in authentic living, healthy communities, unabashed creativity, and a community of unconditional support.
Program, Events & Activities in Support of our Mission & Purpose
Every year to advance education, outreach and community building in support of our mission, CRFR produces two Gatherings for its members. The Gatherings include educational and community-building workshops, support groups, healing circles, performance opportunities, and more. The workshops at each Gathering help members cope with and heal from experiences as gay, bi, trans and queer-identified men by promoting healthy life skills and authentic self-expression in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment. See more on our “Programs & Activities” page.

Our Gatherings attract region-wide attendees, with a majority arriving from OR, and others from WA, CA, and British Columbia.

The Northwest Faerie Database is a listing of Faeries who have previously attended Breitenbush Radical Faerie gatherings. It is used to send out the Calls for future gatherings. Having your name and address added to the database ensures you will receive notice of future gatherings. Even if you don’t register for this Gathering, please help us keep the Northwest Faerie Database up to date.
