Meet the Presenters

Dave (Thumper) Goodman

Percussionist • Photographer • Philosopher

A master of rhythm and connection, Thumper brings people together through the universal language of music. An accomplished percussionist with a passion for Middle Eastern drumming and belly dance accompaniment, he creates spaces where novices and seasoned drummers alike can discover the joy of shared rhythm. This year, he also shares his creative eye through a cell phone photography workshop, exploring how everyday moments can be transformed into extraordinary images. Thoughtful, insightful, and deeply caring, he reminds us that both music and life are best experienced with presence, curiosity, and an open heart.

Mayhem

A wanderer between worlds, a builder of steel and dreams, and a keeper of impossible tales. Join Mayhem as he guides adventures, conjures mysteries, and reminds us that the most powerful magic has always been a story well told. 

His larger-than-life storytelling spins tales that stretch beyond the horizon, a master of games, a guide through mystical landscapes, and one of the finest humans you'll ever meet. Whether forging steel, spinning legends, or illuminating hidden mysteries, Mayhem reminds us that wonder is never far away.

Oberon

Faelosopher • Keeper of Wonder • Friend of the Wild Things

King of the Goblins and delight of the fae, Oberon joins us to share his unique perspective on reconnecting with ourselves, our communities, and the living world around us. Drawing from a lifelong exploration of what he affectionately calls Faelosophy, he invites us to step away from the noise, distractions, and endless demands of modern life and rediscover the magic of simple presence.

Part storyteller, part philosopher, and part ambassador to the unseen corners of existence, Oberon reminds us that we are not separate from the world, but woven into it. Through curiosity, conversation, and a healthy dose of fae-inspired mischief, he challenges us to remember who we are beneath our obligations, assumptions, and digital distractions.

Join Oberon for an open Faelosophy discussion exploring connection, wonder, authenticity, and what it means to truly belong to the great unfolding story of the world.

Fisticuffs

Fisticuffs (Deb) is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in the state of Washington.  She has a combined 16 years of experience working with all ages, but now focuses her practice on adults only with special interest/training in women’s sexual dysfunction and poly/kink/fetish interests/lifestyles.

What is RADAR Communications. Have you and your partner/s experienced a repeating argument?  You feel like you have everything talked through but then a month or so down the road it pops its ugly head back up.  Do you struggle with being vulnerable with your partner/s?  RADAR is a communication method adapted from the website, Multiamory.com, that helps break down the fear of deeper communication through a scheduled step-by-step process that is built to truly listen to each other and create actionable steps to resolve the issue.  This class will teach you about open, honest and focused communication and build intimacy to help enhance and deepen your connections.

This class is open to no more than 10 couples/partners (no singles please).  If there is interest from singles or more than 10 partnerships, I will entertain doing another modified class on Sunday as well. 

Alfred The Corsair - The OddFather

That rogue of ridiculousness. That scallywag of scandalry. The intolerable, untameable Captain of the Good Ship DreadKnockings.

A piratical Rock-n-Roll Mystic and gentleman of questionable wisdom, the OddFather has spent a lifetime collecting songs, stories, strange ideas, and extraordinary people. Equal parts philosopher, musician, technologist, and enthusiastic advocate for outrageous fuckery, he travels the winding roads between myth and reality, seeking Music, Magicks, Muse, and connection wherever they may be found.

Should you encounter him, expect thoughtful conversation, improbable adventures, dangerous levels of enthusiasm, and the lingering suspicion that the universe might be having far more fun than anyone previously suspected.
