I just talked to Fakir Musafar earlier today and he mentioned that there are still some spots left in the UK dates of his Spirit+Flesh workshops and rituals next month (more here). You may recall he wrote about it in his column as well — the photo below is from that same mountain, of Grin from Chicago.
This tour will be the first time he’s toured the UK in over a decade. You can contact him via fakirtour.com which has all the details, or via his main site at fakir.org. Fakir is presenting and facilitating ritual in a way that perhaps offers different insights and experiences than the majority of suspension and ritual paths in the Western world… If this is what you’re looking for, there is no one more experienced.

Come on rest of the world, send us your videos, and they don’t have to be suspensions!

The perpetually striped Benny suspends at The Swastika Freakshop (www) in Radolfzell am Bodensee, Germa-knee.

It has been reported that Benny’s solely responsible for the decline in the German zebra (Equus Germanicus) population. You decide.

First up is Chris (The old Memento Mori is dead. From now on, I am.. Chris) lapsing into a superman suspension..

Then there’s this slideshow (courtesy of yours truly, and not half as fancy as the one above) showing some of the other suspensions that day..

The protagonists are – Ken (clinging onto Capt. Stupid Head for dear life), Jessica, Michelle (not on IAM, yet), and of course Meme Chris!
All suspensions aided and abetted by the iWasCured crew – Shell, Jon, Phil and Mikey.
And of course, as always, the suspension space was donated by Badur, a.k.a. Hot Stuff.
Excuse all the links, it couldn’t be helped.

If you’re in the Toronto area, be sure to click through for more information on the Toronto Winter Swimming Club (which has lots of members from BME) — we’re going out for a solstice swim today (and swim regularly in the winter water if you can’t come today). Come along, it’s fun!
Anyway, I’m taking a break until the New Year. I hope everyone enjoyed 2006, and thank you all for the support and photos, stories, and help.

Photoshop disclaimer: I edited a photographer out of the photo. You can see the original in The Hanged Man gallery on BME. Thanks to Pete for the photo from their recent event down in Melbourne, Australia.
