CAMP CRUCIBLE’S QUEER MIXER: FEDERATION DIRECTIVE 690527.25 hosted by Your Federation Ambassadors Danielle and Alixzander
To all Starfleet officers, allied species, and esteemed travelers of the cosmos: In the spirit of infinite diversity in infinite combinations, Starfleet Command hereby issues a directive for all queer beings and allies to report to the Oasis for a Star Trek-themed Queer Mixer. This gathering, hosted by your Federation ambassadors Danielle and Alixzander, is classified as a Priority One mission to foster intergalactic unity, celebrate diverse identities, and establish connections across the quadrant. Participants are encouraged to arrive in Starfleet attire, cultural garb from their homeworld, or any expression of their true selves. Expect a lively exchange of ideas, diplomatic revelry, and stellar entertainment, including themed libations such as Romulan Ale and Klingon Bloodwine (both synthahol and alcohol-free options available). Prime Directive compliance is required—this is a space free from judgment, where all sentient beings can exist as their authentic selves. Resistance to joy, acceptance, and good company is, as always, futile. If you’re here, you’re Queer. Engage, celebrate, and live long and prosper!

COMMUNITY HOOK PULL hosted by SuspenDC
Magik is a community experience. Ordeal magik even more so. As BDSM teaches, it is safer to confront a challenge with someone to guide, drive, and support you in the process. Hook pulls are an ancient spiritual practice with roots in many cultures and are a powerful way to experience ritual body modification and the altered state of consciousness associated with intense spiritual experiences. Participants will be pierced with one or two hooks and have the chance to play tug-o-war with a hardpoint, partner, or the group as a whole, all while surrounded by a community of shared experience. Hooks can be placed just about anywhere on the body. Our in-house suspension team will guide the process and provide support as needed. For those not ready to be hooked but who are interested in helping, join Whittney in the drum circle! (We have an assortment of instruments that you can use.) No pre-registration needed, just find SuspenDC in the Upper Dungeon medical area. There is a fee for this service to cover the cost of equipment and disposables used to create your experience. Please also bring a government id to complete the piercing waiver. All participants get to keep their hooks and cord after the pull.
Friday, May 30th, 8:00pm – 10:00pm, Upper Play Space
DRUMMING IN THE DUNGEON hosted by Whittney

Come to the dungeon and share in the Camp Crucible tradition of drumming in the dungeon! Bring your drum, rattle, or favorite instrument, or use the community drums and rattles to help create the sonic container for the magik of the night. Want to be inspired to play in a more connected and deeper way? Bring your playmates to the dungeon to play, dance, and create together in the magik of our primal beat.

FIRESIDE RITUAL hosted by Barbara Carrellas, Whittney, Willow, and SuspenDC
Fire is a force of nature which draws us together. Its light sparks joy, dispels fear, and creates community. All magikal creatures are called to dance, drum, and share in the play between light and dark at the upper fire circle. For this night, the fire circle will be set aside for acts of love, beauty, self-acceptance, and release. Find your passion, express your joy, and let go of the things holding you back. Drummers are invited to help build the rhythm to connect us all. Use the space to share joy and explore sacred sensuality through pain and pleasure. For those wanting to go even deeper, the SuspenDC crew will be available to help facilitate hook pulls and ball dances around the fire. Dance to a new rhythm and find the paths you never new existed.
Sunday, May 25th, 8:00pm – 10:00pm, Fire Pit
