Western Canada!
Are you from BC? Alberta? Saskatchewan? (Please say you're from Saskatchewan!)
If you're from Manitoba, are you for real? (Kidding!) I'm Fawn, I'm from Saskatoon, I'm femme and I'm still digging hard for the right (non-straight) butch. *waves* |

Hi! I've lived in Vancouver for the past 7 years or so. There are a few of us around the forum here, but not many.
I'm femme, and not looking for anything more than someone hot to get out of the house with, lol. There doesn't seem to be much of a b-f community here in Vancouver, which is kind of a bummer, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. |

Hi Ruby,
There's more of a butch-butch culture in Saskatoon, I'm afraid, so even though it's easy to get a job and a place to live here, it's impossible to get a date! Good to hear from you. |

*waves* Albertan here. There is an okay crowd here. Lots of youngsters. I volunteer with the local lesbian organization, so I get to meet lots of us.
I am single and have no plans to find a partner right now. I enjoy this forum, even if Canada appears to be somewhat under-represented!! See you round the board.

Originally from Saskatchewan, the rival city of S-toon!
I'm in BC now too, and I can't really find a community either. I suppose I should wander down to Commercial Drive and see what's happening. I only see young people too, I think us "older and more worldly" folks hang out at home with our cats! I just posted on a thread the other day how I miss a "mad thunderstorm", only to be found in the prairies!!!! Welcome! |

I lived in Vancouver for a good number of years, right in the West End. Loved it. But I did not want to raise my kids in Van. I had no support and my marriage was ending. But... that is not the point of my story... the point was the two things I missed the most were Thunderstorms and the sound of snow crunching under my feet. I went to a witches camp just outside of Whistler this summer and was able to fill my heart with the love of the west coast forests. I may have moved back to Alberta, but my heart will never leave the WC Forests.

It was fall, the wheat fields were tall and golden, the sunsets were gorgeous and the weather was hot and dry. Perfect for a thunderstorm!!!! I DO NOT miss the winters though!!!! I have done my share of -40, plugged in vehicle, remote car starter, and freezing breath caught in my lungs! What was the witches camp called? Sounds interesting! I've found on one of the islands, there is a "silent retreat", and I would love to go someday. I know you can't take a book with you to read, but I think a journal is allowed to record thoughts and ideas, but it is a retreat with meditation, etc, but NO TALKING!!!! I love that!!!! Just to "be" and listen to one's self guilt free for 3 or 4 days! Pure bliss! Oh how I miss the prairies!!! *never thought I would ever feel that way* |

I have done silent retreats, they are very intense. You wouldn't think that, but we are such a 'dialed in' society we have a very hard time NOT occupying our minds with something, anything, outside of ourselves. Silence is one of the most difficult things for us to do. Internal silence...yikes!!! This summer I am rough camping in the Queen Charolettes, solely for the silent retreat aspect.

I have absolutely no problem going for days without talking, but without music, family members making demands, and just "life" being a distraction, I would welcome the inner journey. I can only imagine the intensity, and would welcome it! I'm not as dialed in as most, I don't even have a cell phone! I am reading a book on women's spirituality, and how it used to be a "woman's world". There is a lot written about witches also. Roughing it in the Queen Charlottes sounds divine!!!!! |

What is the book you are reading? I read quite a bit, primarily non-fiction. The remains of former societies do point to matriarchal structures. I am really looking forward to my camping trip this summer.
