Community Information
Welcome!
Our priority at Quirky is to foster a space for organic connection, growth, and healing to happen. With that in mind, please see below for our "bare bones" general schedule. These scheduled events will act as a framework in which spontaneous magick will happen. At Quirky, please check the community board for the specific daily schedule.
Notes on the Posted Schedule:
Quirky offers a kid's area that is by kids for kids. There is no active kid sitter on duty in the area.
Spontaneous healing circles will be held at the ritual space throughout the event. All are welcome during these moments, and may be joined even after they've begun.
Rabbit Holes (community led classes and discussions) will run throughout the event. The Rabbit Hole area will open after Morning Magick and will close around dinner time. Anyone in attendance is welcome to facilitate Rabbit Holes. You can write your class down on the whiteboard.
Check the community board daily for updated on the schedule.
Communal Dinner
Each night of the festival will feature a communal dinner to be shared together as a Feast. We want to come together as a community and spend time having a family dinner. To assist our culinary staff, please remember to bring and maintain your own eating ware. Dinner kits may be purchased at registration.
Please be aware or reminded that you must provide/prepare your own breakfast and lunch. You may use our self serve station but please remember to clean up after yourself.
Tavern
Tavern is located over yonder across the way from dining hall so that it’s closer than it has been in the past! It is open on Friday and Saturday from 5:00 to 7:00 before dinner! Snacks and drinks are served.
Tavern uses a currency of bottle caps and other small trinket-based items.
$1 = 1 Cap
$20 = 25 Caps
Caps are not transferable between QE’s.
Drum Circles
One really big part of healing is music. Our drum circle is no exception. All drummers, all dancers, all chanters are welcome. Our hearts sing together in joy and love. We encourage everyone to come out and even bring the instruments or voice that calls to them. Dance if your heart calls for that, clap along or just sit and watch: whatever makes you happy. Remember, Quirky Experience is all about accepting yourself and others in the most authentic ways we can.
Temple Space
The temple space is a space that has been created for times when quiet reflection, meditation, or connection is needed to fill your soul. You are welcome in the space at any time but please be mindful of others and treat the space with respect for what it is meant for.
Circle
Each evening we will have a ritual circle. The focus of these will be to connect energies and feel the power of tribal connection. These are open circles and all are encouraged to attend. There will not be a dogma or belief system attached to these circles and we encourage anyone wanting to help with circle to attend the circle planning sessions. Please note a few boundaries for circle:
- No alcohol or illicit drugs allowed in circle
- No cell phones
- No smoking in circle
-Be mindful and respectful of the energy work that is taking place
Rabbit Hole
A Rabbit Hole is our way of saying "work shop" or "event". We felt that using either one or the other terms would be misleading and thus chose to substitute our own word to try and more accurately describe our intentions. You can expect a Rabbit Hole to be just that: a group and facilitator meeting with an intended subject of discussion or execution but an openness to allow Spirit to make that moment whatever it needs to be.
Sen Temple
18+ space that features classes on consent and the healing power of non-sexualized intimacy and touch. Sen Temple is not a space where sexual interaction is allowed. Please note Rope Play is often used in combination with energy work.
