Due to personal reasons, this program has been canceled.


From the source that brought you Heaven’s Gate, crystals, and Beyoncé, comes a new Oracle who will lead us into a blissed out future. In the Temple of Sir Coach, secular devotees learn about care work, harm reduction, mutual aid, and (Black) Anarchism as the way out and forward. Best known for hys collective energy readings and unsolicited advice, Sir Coach inspires, ignites, and encourages us all to be our best, truest, most authentic selves, and cultivates a safe container for cathartic transformations, spiritual awakenings, naps, and crafts! In this is not a cult, we gather for Lessons in Liberation to learn that once we are compassionate to ourselves we then have greater capacity to share that compassion to all living beings, with Metta loving-kindness, Gworlboss Energy, and intuitive empathy.

ABOUT THE ARTIST


Crip Punk and neuro-spicy, as a small fat, second generation Chinese-Jamaican, AuDHDer, Indigo Child, and trauma survivor, x aka Sir Coach has faer community and Hyp-ACCESS to thank for being alive today. When Coach isn’t sporadically falling to the ground or fainting after a bath, they are struggling with a million other comorbidities that they can’t afford to take care of fully. Hir extreme level of lifelong adversity that ze has been forced to “overcome” has challenged hymn to share knowledge and resources with as many people as he can; finding purpose when it feels like everything else is pointless. Coach is a Black Anarchist and Abolitionist who heavily supports mutual aid and grassroots activism of direct peer support. Coach is not a feminist and does not vote in political elections— feel free to ask themme why (not)! Coach creates a web across their art, identity, and lived experiences. We gravitate towards performance as it is natural and naturally occurring to be performative. We create multimedia installations for immersive experiences. Hope lies in the transcendent, visceral, and cathartic. Sir Coach’s known for faer very elegant, iconic, adorable, and cuddly emotional support animal that he is very allergic to named, Avignon :) (smile)
