The Infinite Love Party » January 11 - February 2, 2019 »
Co-creative directed by Diana Oh and Kevin Hourigan
The Infinite Love Party is where love is forged. A celebration of soul awakening. It's where play breeds change. It's where queer magic can do its healing. For All People. A celebration of the outskirts. A celebration of Queerness and our Allies. A celebration of POC and our Allies. A space for bare humanity to exist- where we will leave kinder and more open, more connected to our purpose, our bodies, and our hearts. A celebration of liberated selves. A celebration of liberated love. AN INFINITE LOVE PARTY!

CODE OF COMMUNITY
The Infinite Love Party is a magical space where the sacred and profane smash together in a powerful and ephemeral hug to emanate joy, love, and presence. I will lead with my heart and clean up after myself knowing that we are in this together, and it is a group of real humans with real names throwing this party. I, as a party guest, whether a slumberer or non-slumberer, will honor the space and take care of the people and wonderfulness inside of it. I will practice consent and ask before touching people or things. And I promise to not take anything from the space unless it's from the Thing Swamp (!!!). And now, I take a deep breath and welcome the light to flood on in.
