Idea Compost – The Androgyne Spirituality of the Berdache

Posted on 14 May 2007 by

Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information … Continue reading →

Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep

Posted on 21 February 2007 by

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. … Continue reading →
