Mel Bilodeau: After studying much movement at a young age and moving to the west coast, I continued to learn and create choreography, mostly in a group called RADCO, till presently. Dancing the Five Rhythm Waves (Gabriel Roth), and community for 17 years has been a grade ride. So was my journey through the queer and kinky realms of PNW worlds. Mel O’Soup is entertaining Mel, as I radically add value to organic, local veggies and cater to sensitivities with healthy recipes here in Olympia. As a devotee of Freddie Mercury, I dig singing.

Unspelling the Patriarchy Within: Healing Together as Male Folk With Mae Lamb & Jeffery Oshala
Time: Friday, 2:00-4:00pm
Location: Barn
Fellas, we got some work to do! This workshop will bring together all those who identify as male. Patriarchy hurts all of us, and as male folk it is our responsibility to understand the roles we play in perpetuating gender-based oppression, and support one another in healing from the ways we ourselves have been impacted. Together we’ll unpack the ways we’ve been conditioned to internalize toxic masculine archetypes that have harmful impacts on our communities, our sexuality, and our relationships.
Ian Mae is an ecosexual herbalist, a licensed body-worker, peer counselor, a feminist and a queer, poly, genderfluid PAMP (person with access to male privilege) of European descent who has several years of experience participating in and facilitating transformational men’s circles in the Portland area. He has magical background in Reclaiming Witchcraft, as well as the Northern Mysteries and works closely with the Runes as ancestral guides and teachers. He believes that men working together to heal themselves and each other is a critical step on the journey towards collective liberation.
Jeffree Oshala’s experience stems from a background of Conflict Resolution, Feminist Studies, Anti-Oppression Activism, Magic, and the formation of a Men’s group focused on connection, healing, and accountability. He has a background in Conflict Resolution, a career working with people in the developmentally disabled communities, lives on an urban land-based communal living project, and supporting the start-up and process of Men’s groups and leading workshops in the Portland area. He has a background and training in western herbalism, and is also a 3rd year student at the Blue Iris Mystery School. Jeffree aims to weave together his passions in Magic, Conflict Resolution, Feminism, and land-based ethics to work with male identified people to heal the wounds of patriarchy.
