A Friendly Reminder From Will:

Hello to Portland Hearing Voices Supporters:

A reminder -- on Thursday, June 11, 8pm join us at a Launch Celebration Music Show at Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave/Couch in Portland)!

At the benefit show you'll have a chance to listen to some great local music, learn more about Portland Hearing Voices, discover a little about voice-hearing, visions, and non-ordinary sensory experiences, raise some seed money to get us off the ground -- and have some fun!

Come hear performers The Reed Sea, Reclinerland, and Gavin Castleton -- I'm really excited about this concert and these wonderful musicians (sweet and soulful, mellow music)! Listen at their websites, and thanks to their generosity in performing for mental diversity in Portland:

The Reed Sea http://www.thereedsea.com/

Reclinerland: http://www.myspace.com/reclinerland

Gavin Castleton http://www.myspace.com/gavincastleton

Please spread the word and join us June 11th at 8pm at Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave)! We're asking $5-15 at the door (our policy is that no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds). We also need a couple of volunteers to help with event logistics, and we really want you to invite your friends, colleagues, and community to come as well - word of mouth is key. 

Portland Hearing Voices is a new education and support effort to promote mental diversity. We create public education, discussion groups, and other community support related to hearing voices, seeing visions, and having unusual beliefs and sensory experiences. Portland Hearing Voices aims to reduce fear and misunderstanding, question stereotypes, overcome isolation, and create a more inclusive and supportive community. Check our website http://www.portlandhearingvoices.net for more information.

A wonderful opportunity to hear some great music, hang out, and connect.
