 Music Benefit at Backspace June 11th Thursday 8pm!


On Thursday, June 11, 8pm join Portland Hearing Voices 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 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 --
sweet and soulful musicians. Listen at their websites, and thanks to
their generosity in performing for mental diversity in Portland:

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.

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

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
