Dear Sisters, Brethren,

Blessed be to all! My name is Troy Leaf, and I grew up in the Netherlands, untill the age of 18. I spent the years between 18 and 26 studying in the United States, and have only recently been forced to move back to Amsterdam because my Visa ended.
The greatest belssing I had living in San francisco was sharing community and joy and ideas and art with likeminded pople; there was no end of hippies, witches, burners, queers and freaks to feel a part of in Northen California. In addition, I wnet to many a Radical Faerie event, and Burning Man.
Now, after two months back in my home town, I am strarting to feel increasinly lonely; I crave environments with different, creative people, witch, queer, or otherwise.
Im good at making friends, and am not generally one to ask for help in this regard, but I don't even know where to start looking. Where are all the freaks? Whats a good yoga place? Am I the only one who craves a drumcircle? Where does one go to meet queers, rather then gays... Im certainly not asking for a babysitter, or for someone to hold my hand, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would certainly be very grateful.

Thank you all,
peace, light, love
Sincerely,

Troy Leaf
