Purpose<\/strong>
Our purpose is to support the Radical Faeries and their northwest regional gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Values<\/strong>
By providing a safe environment for members to convene, we foster personal growth and exploration through shared values and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Are the Radical Faeries?<\/strong>
There are many independent groups of Radical Faeries globally with similar but varied values and intentions. We consider our particular group \u2014 the Cascadia Radical Faeries \u2014 to be an ever-changing collection of persons who believe in authentic living, healthy communities, unabashed creativity, and a community of unconditional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program, Events & Activities<\/a> in Support of our Mission & Purpose<\/strong>
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 \u201cPrograms & Activities\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact<\/strong>
Since its founding in 2002, CRFR has facilitated over 45 gatherings and served over 7,000 people. Our Gatherings attract region-wide attendees, with a majority arriving from OR, and others from WA, CA, and British Columbia. Attendees also come from throughout the US including New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Florida, as well as from around the world, with past attendees arriving from Australia, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, and South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northwest Faerie Database (NWFDB) Updates:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019t register for this Gathering, please help us keep the Northwest Faerie Database up to date. Has your phone number or email address changed since you last attended a Breitenbush Gathering? If changes are needed, or if you\u2019d like to be removed from the NWFDB, send a note to darling@cascadiafaeries.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n
