The Family

We will be staying awake for a 24 hour dérive (Drift) around Birmingham. Starting shortly after dawn on the 24th until the following dawn, we will be attempting to have a group ‘vision’ to lead The Family into the future. During a vision quest, the seeker is often visited by an animal that shows them a future path they should take.

Meeting at New Street Station, Birmingham, we will be walking some of the time, but also sitting and observing at various points. Please note that the route will be decided by the group as we go, there is no plan to follow.

We went on a song writing and singing trip in the lovely Lickey Hills woods (Lickey Road, B45 8UX)

We had a great day on Sunday, there was loads of stuff to try out and it was really interesting to chat to people about what we were doing.

There was lots of Kool-Aid and lollipops to go round, which helped us all to be really talkative, dancing and singing along to the happy songs playing over the tannoy.

Kids loved playing with the mechanical animals and decorating cakes.

Visitors got to try their luck at outwitting Mr Wolf with his Psychology test, and if they were suitable candidates made it onto the Fear Train, of which we’re not allowed to speak…

Have you ever felt that there’s something missing in your life?

The Universal Family of Cosmic Xenogenesis invite you to Family Fun Day, where you can enjoy an exciting array of stalls and activities to learn more about their revolutionary way of life. You’ll be able to clean out your mind and fish for new thoughts; decorate cakes, T-shirts, balloons and your face with positive symbols; get in touch with your power animal in the Robot Petting Zoo; and of course sample the copious free Kool-Aid.

There will also be games like Psychology Mr. Wolf and The Fear Train where you can open up your consciousness, compete for special access to the behind-the-scenes activities of the group, and join them for a shining future in The Other Place.

Open to all ages, but some elements are PG rated.

Saturday, August 15, 2009, 11:00am – 3:00pm, Moseley Park

We were invited to visit Shunt Lounge, Joiner Street, London SE1 on Friday 3rd July.

We went along to give everyone the chance to join our activities and share in our freedom. In return, we asked our new friends to open up their consciousness to our core message of hope, and our primary purpose of love.

Thanks to all our new friends and to all seeking out hope through our wonderful conversations and activities on the night. We hope to meet you all again soon.
