Summer Transcendence 2024 Call
Summer Solstice Gathering – “ABUNDANCE!”
Where : YHA Minehead, Somerset, UK
When : 14th – 23rd June 2024
Yoo-Hoo Faeries!
Come transgender spirits, gender non-conforming bodies, intersex inspirers, non-binary beings, a-gender wonders, queer women warriors, questioning cuties –
It is our time to drop the masks we wear and blossom together.
When caught in the fray of society’s appropriation of our identities, we need to make space where we can feel free in the truth of our own skin, souls and honour the honesty of our hearts calling.
The Building and Location : YHA Minehead
A country retreat in an attractive house high in Somerset’s Exmoor hills. Enchantingly situated in a woodland hideaway, the hostel offers magnificent grounds while being situated close to some of Somerset’s most beautiful coastline.
Not only is Minehead a picturesque seaside resort with a cracking sandy beach, it’s also the northern gateway to Exmoor National Park, the area’s largest town and the start point of the South West Coast Path – the nation’s longest long-distance walking trail.

What is a faerie gathering?
A faerie gathering is a gathering of those persons who identify as or have interest in the Radical Faeries. Every gathering is different, as sometimes they are very large and active, sometimes small and quiet, and they may be everything in between.
Gatherings are exactly what we feel them to be and we we co-create them together. They are a true expression of faerie community and culture. Gatherings are experimentations and learning and are open and welcome to all, unless specified otherwise in the gathering call. Gatherings are great times to make contact with others persons with interest or identification with the Radical Faeries.
The first international gathering of faeries in Europe happened during the summer of 1995, on the Dutch island of Terschelling. Since then, the movement has grown both in number of faeries and in number of nationalities, thus melting the North American traditions into a uniquely European movement, with its own international culture and sensibilities.
Spaces & Communities
Currently, the EuroFaeries who live in various parts of Europe organise meetings, parties, circles, workshops and a few large international gatherings each year.
Although most activities take place in our Sanctuary in Folleterre, France, the Albion Faeries also organise numerous gatherings in the UK. There are active circles and quite a few events in various parts of Germany, Spain, The Netherlands (especially around Amsterdam), France (especially in Paris), and Austria (centred around Vienna with its heart opened to the East), and among newly active circles in Belgium and Denmark.
