Long Live Cuntopia!

In today’s modern world, they call us Witches. Queers. Mentally-ill. Bitches.

And we are stepping back into our power to rebirth womb and earth-centered value based societies once again - a CUNTOPIA.

And we are CUNTOPIANS.

We have gone into the shadows, but we are still here. They have desecrated our temples, terrorized our ancestors - but they can not destroy us.

We cycle with the moon. We live outside the gender binary. We are survivors. Many of us have shamanic gifts and intuition that modern science calls mental illness. Most of us have CPTSD from growing up in a society that pathologizes the feminine cycles of our divinity, our nonbinary nature and our neurodivergent perspective.

WE ARE CUNTOPIANS

We are agender, trans or multigendered people the ancients considered sacred ceremony leaders.

We are womb-holders the ancients worshipped as Goddesses.

We believe collective and equitable owndership of resources is the NATURAL way like the ancients who didn’t even HAVE possessive pronouns in their language.

We are neurodivergent people the ancients recognized as having spiritual and shamanic gifts for the community.

We are the biggest threat to the cis heteronormative patriarchy the world has seen in centuries. We are not here to fight the patriarchy with fists, but to build a MOVEMENT driven by the mass awakening in people’s hearts who yearn to reconnect to our ancient humanity.

Who yearn to return to who we were before we forgot.

To reconnect with our WILD to rebalance the ecosystem and humankind.

To return to a womb and earth centric value system to save the sanctity of human life.

We are the leaders with humanity’s best interest at heart- the leaders we all CRAVE but can’t ever seem to get on our ballots, represented in our movies, leading our communities or preaching our spirituality.

And while society tries to silence us by casting us off as crazy, hormonal, hysterical, evil, gay, socially unacceptable, lazy, too much, not enough, mentally ill, sick or Luna-tics - the truth is - the WITCHES ARE WAKING and nothing can stop us.

In our communities, many of us are standing up to the system as activists, artists and revolutionaries. Many are budding spiritual leaders, healers, psychologists and therapists. We are entrepreneurs, business owners, mentors, coaches and instructors stepping up at a pivotal point in history.

But so many of us are lone rangers in our industries paving the way for more people like us. And many MORE of us- have heard the call and feel the fire burning in our hearts to step into our power towards something greater. To be leaders in our communities. And yet the cards are stacked so high against us.

WHY ARE WE FUNDRAISING?

The truth is. We need help. We can’t do it alone.

Today, 1 in 4 of us with wombs are being policed into a fear state through the use of sexual assault and 4 out of 5 through the use of sex-based harassment. We make up 70% of those in poverty. Only 21% of people with a disability/neurodivergence are employed and 1 in 3 people live with a disability. Trans people are twice as likely to be unemployed. This means that about 84 million Americans are written off as too broken to add value to society in a way that is worth compensation.

We are outcast, shamed, written off as hormonal, crazy, weird, hysterical, freaks, mentally ill, unstable, sinners, evil or a burden - modern day witch burning.

We are leaders who face pretty intense financial and social discrimination that often keeps us from accessing the tools, experiences and resources we need to step up as the true leaders we are within our communities.

If you want more CUNTOPIAN leaders out there, in your community and around the world, we need your financial and social support to keep CUNTOPIA, THE GATHERING alive.

WHAT IS CUNTOPIA THE GATHERING?

Last year, 25 of us queer, neurodivergent, womb-holding power-house CUNTOPIANS gathered in nature at our first leadership summit for just one week - and our lives changed forever.

We unpacked limiting beliefs about ourselves to see the truth. Not only are we NOT broken, but if we had been born before this patriarchal colonized paradigm, we’d have been the revered leaders, healers and shamans of our communities.

It took only one week in a queer, neurodivergent, womb-holding utopia - to actually SEE what society could look like if we decided to just THROW OUT the harmful narrative that there is something wrong with us and REMEMBER OUR COLLECTIVE SPIRITUAL POWER AND POTENTIAL TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

THE GATHERING - RESOURCES MADE AVAILABLE TO LEADERS

Increase our collective access

We’re done fighting the systems we hate - and instead, we’re ready to get to work building the systems we WANT instead.

Cuntopia, The Gathering, gave us access to an experience, resources and community that someone looking to lead a movement, business, healing modality or activism NEEDS but is often reserved for wealthy business executives at mastermind retreats.

It gives us so much joy that our future leaders were able to access things like:

-Regular ongoing virtual and in-person connection with the Cuntopian community

-Expert advice and workshops in writing 30 year manifestations and business plans

-Cyclical Living coaching for living in alignment with purpose and optimizing mental, spiritual and emotional health

-Collective thought leadership development

-The experience of witnessing the centering of trans, neurodivergent, disabled, bipoc and womb holder’s wisdom and experiences and being a part of the community

-A chance for budding leaders to teach a workshop with on-site training and receive feedback from the community who shares our values and struggles

-Mindset coaching specifically for those dealing with internalized oppressive beliefs

-Business strategies for people who are neurodivergentand/ or disabled

-A chance to travel, connect deeply with nature, destress and enjoy the freedom of living, dancing, connecting in music and ceremony

With the explosion of life-changing transitions Cuntopia made possible, our Cuntopian leaders continued on to do things like..

Start their own Living Water business

Run monthly Cunt Mic nights

Live, dance and teach in New York City

Host their a Kundalini healing retreat in California

Host four of their own retreats in Vermont, leading BIPOC land initiatives

Engaged in a reality TV show contract

Become a part of Essence’s leadership team

Host large-scale events for the government

Lead trans and queer inclusive sexual and pleasure health initiatives in Philadelphia

Run an Acro-Yoga, Yoni and Menstrual health coaching program in Costa Rica

Open a design shop in Houston

Run a sex and intimacy coaching online business

Continue play therapy for neurodivergent children in a clinical setting

Life changing for so many queer, neurodivergent, womb-holding leaders and their communities, CUNTOPIA needs your HELP to be sustainable because we CAN NOT be accessible with a $1,4000 price tag per person. Last year we managed to make $16k in ticket sales despite almost every attendee having some form of scholarship. The event costs totaled around $25k, leaving the event to fall short by $9k.

And yet, we pulled it off pooling resources available to cover costs from our own pockets and businesses because WE BELIEVE in this work SO MUCH.

And we realized that we must take steps towards a CROWD FUNDING model in order to keep this event going in a way that is BOTH financially sustainable AND accessible.

HOW TO MAKE THIS FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE YET ACCESSIBLE

This year we came up with a FINANCIAL MODEL that allows leaders to pick a pricing tier accessible to them and gives them a chance to collectively fundraise the rest of the funds as a group leadership exercise.

This model does not include volunteer positions or a hierarchy of workshop presenters. This model is an attempt to exist outside of oppressive capitalist models that depend on exchange rather than trust in the collective’s capacity to contribute all we need.

This means everyone pools the resources they can. Everyone chips into the planning and execution of the event contributing their skillsets as best they can. And everyone works together to spread the word to our wider communities to garner the remaining financial support we need.

This year, we have 33 Cuntopian slots open and have filled 30 of them so far. The total costs this year will be an estimated $45k and our 30 Cuntopians so far have pledged $20k from their own resources. This means we need your help to raise the remaining $25k - or about $900 per Cuntopian.

What your donations cover:

$1,400 cost per person for room/board and 3 meals a day for 9 days

Access to travel experiences, musicians, workshops and expert guidance/mentorship

Opportunity to teach workshops, receive feedback and marketing materials to kickstart their own business or work

Mentorship and guidance on 30 year goals and business plans

Flights for those most impacted by prohibitive costs of travel

Equipment and materials for the event, workshops and activities

Production team’s time for event planning and reimbursement for costs at $25/hr

Out of pocket production investments from last year to make event sustainable

You are not just funding a leadership summit - you are funding a MOVEMENT towards the type of system we are all hoping for.

We know you CRAVE this kind of system. We know you SEEK to see these kinds of leaders represented in YOUR communities too - SO HELP US BUILD THIS VISION.

Help us to build not just a better future for attendees stepping into their leadership potential - but for every future client, business, industry, employee, family and community that they will influence and impact when they leave.

Leave a lasting impact on humanity. Of the 95 million people in corporations right now who espouse the value of diversity, equity and inclusion at work- if each of them donated one dollar- we could run this event every year for another 200 years. And yet, all we need is 5,000 of you to donate $5 or 2,500 of you to donate $10.

Send the message to the world that this movement is important to you. Help us build a system and method that is sustainable enough to continue to foster training, leadership opportunities and spaces for queer, neurodivergent and womb-holding people.

Help us launch a movement that will continue to replicate into Cuntopia Red Tent spaces at events, festivals and in communities around the world.

We are so grateful for the time and energy you took to listen to our story.

In love and flow,

The Cuntopians
