Serendipitity, Shapeshifting & Sorcery
Interabled love & magic. Silen & Xander talk meeting through queer serendipity & their relationship that’s shapeshifted through many forms.
This is behind-the-scenes look at how I, Xander Peer Keller, have built, sustained, and been shaped by my CareWeb.
In this Held Together, Silen and Xander will talk about the queerly serendiptious way they met, fell in love, shapeshifted through the different iterations of their relationship, and navigated inter-abled relating. We will talk about finding our queer, nonbinary selves, "de-escalating" relationships (or rather...finding the right shape for them when gushing love doesn't always mean sex), and the magic that connects us.

At the Crossroads of Madness & Disability: Life as Edge Walkers
Over the years, Ravyn and I have come to understand our disabilities, our experiences of madness, and the wisdom within both not just through books or theory, but through showing up for one another, supporting our communities, practicing ritual and magic, and building relationships rooted in trust, care, and curiosity. This conversation grows out of years of learning alongside each other and living between worlds.
Together, we'll explore what it means to be an edgewalker: someone who lives at the intersections of identities, communities, and ways of knowing. We'll talk about the complexity of "passing", including able-passing, sane-passing, and Ravyn's experience of being white-passing while navigating a mixed-race identity. We'll explore questions many of us wrestle with: Who do I share this part of myself with? When do I take up space? When do I step back? How do I honor both my privilege and my struggles?
We'll also reflect on how disability, madness, ritual, magic, and community have helped us move from simply surviving these threshold spaces to finding meaning, belonging, and even joy within them.
Whether you're disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, identify with experiences of madness, or simply feel like you've spent your life living between worlds, we hope you'll join us.

Weekend Movement Lab| July 31- August 2| Estes Park, CO
The Touch Activist Movement Lab builds off the practices of the Touch Activist Program (TAP), developed by Aaron Johnson, who has been studying what it takes, for Black masculine bodies especially, to reclaim touch nourishment in their lives.
Using the tools of listening, song, connection with nature, and movement, the Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project seeks to expand the tools available to all seeking to restore their touch balance.
For this movement lab, everyone is welcome, and Black masculine folks are centered.
