THIS MONTH FEATURING A PERFORMANCE OF HEALING SONGS WRITTEN RECENTLY IN INDIA FROM PENELOPE VIVERO Radical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London at the Beltane Full Moon, a time when the veils are thin and nature spirits close. Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon bring our attention to the union of matter and spirit, making Beltane a celebration of Life itself - long celebrated in pre-Christian Britain, Beltane may pole dances remained common in Britain until the 17th century. Radical Faeries have been part of the modern pagan reclaiming of the wild and free spirit of Beltane in our sanctuaries since the 1980s. Let's bring some of that Faerie Liberation to central London! Before we DANCE we will EARTH OURSELVES THROUGH HEALING SONGS FROM PENELOPE VIVERO - starting 8pm. Penelope Vivero, radical faerie devotional folk artist will take us on a musical healing journey, moving between stillness, deep feeling, and moments of joy and connection through song. After spending time in India, she has written a new body of work which she will be sharing for the first time at this gathering. We gather from 7 to set up the space and greet each other, cast a circle at 8pm for the healing journey after which we drum, dance, socialise and play through the evening. There's lots of drums and percussion to share around, you are welcome to bring your own instruments too, your own refreshments and maybe snacks to share. Entry suggested £5 - £10, cash at the venue, or via PayPal [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fpaypalme%2Fshokti%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExZVlKQno3TTQ4RjRLN2VpeXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5LqS1GEne5hAslMoFpAIV4czbJpbz6BRt-min2ov2V7QLojCSgNCXsnhgU5w_aem_Qyiz-k7fhdKAmvv5SmTqfQ&h=AT7cfRWf5q1Gi_2UwvvgVdLG2McSf8IE-amTNrE5xcSxoQ8NNOAxNQmC1x_HdBm_sneCJf3PRnn1lfoZK6RF0yrRoFS2el078fnSO9HbPAV_DR9DMQmZybjMhQNbpH5ffK52SR_C80JJ3Q&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT4q4ymPesQZEfzVBzadxMlTeElyzn1fzU-_Jf_hQxWCtv56-cIaQEGyGjwfrINSYDhk3MA6HyZn0z2OrhAcckZgILaLE1Cr4qQm1xg2M_iZm9kCa7YIh88-lG0-j7QWRbQekwvFzk_b1qPKujNuSPCNOMZpkA) NOTAFLOF - No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
