we acknowledge that we are creating & living on unceded Jagera/Turrbal Country in Meanjin.
we pay the upmost respect to the Turrbal and Yugara Elders past & present, and also extend this respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait people from all other communities past, present & future.

a space designed to simply be, together.
may we always remember to take care of each other.

harsh in all forms

uncontrolled impulses of primal mechanics, chaos to order, clarity to con-fusion.
awakening deep womb nostalgia and relief from the hierarchical nonlinear trauma.
gnosis, the paradoxical, not the observing nor the observed.
the third thing.

not absolute but absoulute, personal, complex, unspeakable but unavoidable, inescapable truths in human audible spectrum or seemingly so.
rooted deeply in love, place of connectedness and tran(s)ce, intention being of most importance; some moments truly human, hedonistic, desireful, unaware and/or thiswordly thus might be or appear as sinister, evil, nontrustworthy, dishonest, disgustingly disguised as the other.
beware of the hypnotic power within and without.
the third thing.

the vortex, the helix, the samsara, the infinite grief, the facade of it all, the beauty of presence, the essence of awareness, the spectrum, the universal and the universally personal, the separation of singularity, the signs, the signals, the science, the similarities, the interconnectedness, the interaction, the all one alone, the waiting room, the void devoid of context, the portal, the vacuum, the ‘the’, the truth.
the third thing.
