Exploring the Boundaries of Intimacy

About the facilitators.

These Sex Magick veterans have committed to continuing the work
started by Harry Hay in 1990.

The workshop will be, in large part, driven by the participants.
It will follow the long Faerie Circle tradition with each member having
equal rights and responsibilities of participation. The facilitators will
provide guidelines and a roadmap to “ritual space" and a foundation
of emotional and spiritual support for the workshop. All
facilitators are trained and skilled veterans of the workshop and offer
unique perspectives and gifts.

Rosie Delicious first attended Sex Magick in 1996, a workshop
that changed his life AND his faerie name (he used to be called Rosebud -
but, as he reports, "Rosebud bloomed!"). Rosie is an artist, sex shaman and
writer. Rosie has been active in the faerie community since 1990 creating
sex/heart circles, writing and editing for RFD, as well as co-facilitating
these workshops since 2000.
Currently, Rosie is developing a new
lifestyle as an itinerant fey, as well as a new website
www.houseofdelicious.com to
track his work in the world. You can also see his work on eggshells @

Chas is one of those long time Faeries, workshop leaders, vagabonds &
participants. A comrade of Harry's, he's been intimately involved
with the workshops since their founding. He continues to find joy in
helping to facilitate the workshops and the relationships that sprout.
Based in California and France, he also enjoys puns. |

Keystone was, in 1997, "a faerie waiting to happen." His
time as a faerie has been a non-stop journey of brotherhood, sexual
discovery and healing, and ridiculous amounts of fun and drama. He first
participated in Sex Magick in 2005, returning as often as possible, as a
participant, cook and, more often, a facilitator.
Keystone used
the fortitude and fierceness that he uncovered as a faerie to stage an
impromptu nude protest of the TSA at Portland International Airport. Learn
more at Naked American Hero.
He's also a long-distance backpacker and drag clown. |
| Kisses, a long-time French faerie from Lyon, has been an active member of the European Faerie community and even was a dedicated steward of the land at the Folleterre sanctuary in France (folleterre.org). A queer activist since the age of 18, he discovered the Faeries in 2006 and attended his first gathering in the summer of 2011. Since then, he has grown both as a faerie and an erotic being. Participating in the first-ever European Faerie Sex Magick workshop was a life-changing experience, allowing him to connect more authentically with his intimate, erotic, and sexual nature. Kisses has returned to the workshop many times as a participant, often feeling that the Magick was sometimes hindered by language barriers. As a trained language teacher, he now offers his skills to address cultural and language-based misunderstandings within the workshop, fostering a more inclusive international Faerie community. He currently teaches English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at a science university in Lyon and is also engaged in academic research on queer ancestors from the Victorian era. That is why he trained to become a Faerie Sex Mack facilitator and has been facilitating workshops since 2019. |

Boyscout is a radical
faerie living in Berlin who’s been around (some parts of) the world a few
times, with longer stops in Hungary, Austria, France, Canada, and the US.
Sex Magick turned his world upside down and helped him rediscover all the
colors of honest intimacy and lovesex as he was first recovering from some
dark times of addiction. It still does, and that’s why he wants to share the
magick and tend the community. He’s also done some work on queer history and
feels connected to the legacy of the faeries and the rituals of our
communities, since that’s also where we make our future. |
| Morgain Lessloss, after growing up as a settler on the traditional lands of the Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot) First Nation in what is now known as Saskatchewan, was discovered by the Radical Faeries in 1995 (when studying for ordination in a Canadian Christian tradition). The Faeries gave words to what Morgain always knew in their soul--that sexuality and spirituality can not be separated and that attempting to do so is violence to the soul. Meeting the Faeries led Morgain to: leave the Christian tradition; live into pre-Christian Celtic spirituality and the Wiccan tradition; become a high-priestess of the Goddess Ravenna Ravine; become an ethical slut; and spend 14 years studying with a First Nation’s Elder (leading sweat lodge and pipe ceremonies for 10 of those years). In 2009/2010, Morgain once again acknowledged a calling to ordered life, but this time in a queer context, and took vows to become a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and founded the Vancouver Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (where she is known as Sr. Merry Q. Contrary). After living for 20 years on the traditional and unceeded territory of four Coast Salish nations (also known as Vancouver, British Columbia), Morgain moved to and now lives on land that traditionally was a meeting place of many First Nations and is known as both Takaronto and Toronto, Ontario.. |

Enough first met the Radical Faeries in New Zealand/Aotearoa in 2013 and has been lucky to be involved at various levels with faeries in Cascadia, Europe (Folleterre, Alto das Fadas, Hadas del Sol), and C'naan. His 'FFKAs' - Change, Keshet/Rainbow, InBetween - reflect his journey, on which participating in and co-facilitating Gatherings and SexMagick Workshops have been significant. He believes that Sharing is Caring, and so remains called to SexMagick Workshop co-facilitation. Currently based in Berlin, he travels, wanders, and wonders. |
