Manifesto
The Secret Feminist Club Meeting Club (SFCMC) is something that doesn’t take itself too seriously – but that doesn’t make it less important for whoever wishes to take part in. One can join on approx. 8 dates in the year if Melanka is present and is doing her job or one may organize their own spin off.
The SFCMC is not linked to a place nor to a person, but since at the moment the SFCMC has only one member – Melanka – it kinda still is linked to her will (yet, that shall change). The SFCMC takes the wheel of the year as reason and structure to meet up but is not linked directly to any pagan or religious rituals but takes from them whatever feels valid and safe.
This is a feminist-queer-neurodiverse-transcultural space and who ever feels like that could be their jam is welcome. And that means: you dont need to BE queer neurodiverse and or transcultural (since this is something we dont control – hello?!) but we do control how inclusive we wanna be. So ally or „still questioning“ is perfect. But yes: ya gotta be a bone hard feminist or else I’ll get incredibly violent. We will dive into random, weird, obscure realms so it is helpful to have an open mind in all directions anyways.
Whatever we do at our Secret Feminist Club Meeting Club Meetings (SFCMCM) stays within the group. Also: there is no group. So we do not take anything into the following meetings or outside of the space where the meeting happened.
Examples of what we might do: we might draw tarot cards because I always wanted to be a tarot person, we might cook, we might perform any form of spiritual and ritualized songs or we might just sing together, we might watch someone in the group perform their latest burlesque show or read their latest poems, we might leave an empty plate for our loved once that left us and we might want to talk about them and cry and laugh together. We might want to tell jokes or dance. We might talk about our menstrual cycle or the uprise of whoever wants to uprise (I am relishing in revolutionary ideas these days…)
Important: if you would like to bring something to the table (food or poems or A tarot card reading or wine or…) – do so! And kindly tell me beforehand so I wont plan too much. Since I am weirdly believing in all sorts of Aberglaube, the few things me and my apartment cannot participate in are seances or likes.
I dont know myself – I am just a vessel for now. It is beneficial to keep an open mind and to keep boundaries and to even leave if it is too much and for all the rest to speak about how it felt when that person left. .
It is a space for exploration and mainly fun and maybe revolution? Idk… But a girl can dream, ok.
PS: There will be a donation box. Put whatever you want, you dont NEED to put anything in. I’ll use a bit of it (5-15 Euros in total) in order to buy decorations or snacks for the next meeting, the rest goes directly towards my parents organization for Ukraine.
PPS: About the name. So there is (or is there?) a secret feminist club. Whatever this club does is none of our concern. But when the secret feminist club meets there is another club that has to be formed in order to preserve the nature of high beurocratic purity. This then is called the Secret Feminist Club Meeting Club as it is the club for meeting the club.
It is of high importance – or it isnt. Simple as that.
