About Me |
|
The Icarus Project envisions a new culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of extreme states of consciousness rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework. We are a network of people living with the dangerous gifts that are commonly labeled as bipolar or related 'mental illness.'The Icarus Project is a collaborative, participatory adventure fueled by inspiration, harm reduction, informed consent and voluntary mutual aid. Together with you we bring the Icarus vision to reality through an Icarus national staff housekeeping collective and a grassroots network of autonomous local support groups across the US and beyond.Let's PLEASE fight this myspace corporate stranglehold & be in touch, meet in the streets, post abt your experiences & refer people to our radical community based, mutual aid website ...Please come be apart of our open source web communityhttp://www.theicarusproject.net |
