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, gatherettes, workshops and some larger gatherings each year.
Although most activities take place in our sanctuary in Folleterre, France, the Albion Faeries also organise numerous gatherings in the UK and Hadas del Sol in Spain. There are active circles and quite a few events in various parts of Germany, Spain, The Netherlands (especially around Amsterdam), Sweden (especially in Stockholm), France (especially in Paris), Austria (centred around Vienna with its heart opened to the East), Belgium and Denmark (especially in Copenhagen).
Navigate to the online sites by clicking on the links above. Connect to other faeries and find out more about faerie groups and spaces around Europe! Faenet is a great resource to connect and find new faeries.
