It was November 2007 when a few of us embarked this spontaneous journey, on an Autumnal evening. Little did we know that 13 years later, a bit slower in action and functionality, we are still around and still true to the core of what brought us together in the first place.
Massive thanks and love to co-founders Myra & David and the many of you that have joined, walked along us, over thick and thin, only passed by, often offering support even at a distance, over these years.
After all these years of talking about psychiatry/antipsychiatry sometimes feels like talking about war, when we certainly want and need Peace.
The fire in the belly is still burning, as some wounds are still bleeding, but it's surely safe, wise and healthy to turn the page and move on when the time comes.
We are blessed, grateful and grateful for all the inspiring work accomplished by our predecessors, the Loonies that suffered and fought before us, thankful to the present, local and international fellow activists, and send our blessings to those that are just starting, or soon will be, keeping the light of hope on, for those caught in the tunnel of darkness. Aho!

From 5 Nov to 2 Dec a new lockdown was announced in the UK and some other countries (mostly the G7- G20 types).
Meanwhile even Boris, among many doctors and scientists, publicly admitted that Covid tests only work on 7%, producing up to 93% false positives. No wonder that the numbers of positives have gone up. Meanwhile common flu seems to have disappeared this season, same as many civic liberties, news and information that challenge the mainstream virus narrative; big media platforms are censuring content more than ever; why is that?
So many conspiracy theorists are trying to unmask the information terrorist.
We'll continue to operate, in a covid-secure manner, gathering for our monthly FEEL meeting, as we fit the "support bubble" criteria of exemptions.
The meeting is taking place next Monday the 16th November at LARC from 6:30pm. Please join us if keen to do so. If feeling unwell/
In the meantime online events and engagement abounds, for those shielding and limiting social interactions.
Wishing everyone good health and happiness always, and Happy Diwali, might the light always stay bright within you.
Ad meliora et ad maiora semper!
