San Diego area poi spinners? [14 May 2008|12:38pm] eclectic_writer [ mood | accomplished ] Hello all! I'm very new to swinging poi but caught on to the hobby when a guy I know introduced me to his fire routines. (Fraking HOT, in every way there is) So I'm studying lessons I found on HOP, PlayPoi and YouTube. I prefer, however, to learn in person and just meet people. Anyone in the San Diego area that practices regularly or semi-regularly? I know a group in Ventura county but they're about 6 hours away from me - I'm willing to make the trip sometimes but wouldn't mind someone closer... post comment

[19 Apr 2008|10:54am] ash_is_scarlett Sorry is this is annoying, but I want to try fire poi. I've practiced with my friends, but the thing is they all made their own. I did the research at shops near here and making them would not be cost-effective for me cause I'd also have to buy the tools. I found this one online, but I figured I'd rather get the opinion of people who know what they're doing. It's 5$ more than the one home of poi but the heads are bigger. http://www.luxotica.com/shop/detail.cfm?id=3 I mean obviously I won't be lighting them for a while, but I'm pretty broke so I don't want to buy a pair, then find out it's not that great and have to buy another. 8 comments|post comment

Community Healing Arts & the Circle of Life [14 Apr 2008|12:33am] karamaia I am working to open a family healing arts center in my community to provide a spectrum of care for infants to adults, including midwifery, craniosacral therapy, chiropractic, parent groups, childbirth ed, and workshops. My passion is craniosacral, doula care, teaching, and community organizing. This will happen within the next year, and I am currently gathering resources, developing my business plan, and working with local community small business resources to create a solid plan and support system. I also have practitioners interested and a space lined up for 2009. I am also a hoopdancer and teacher, and I am in a contest to win $10,000 for my hoopdance video: Gemini Hoops. http://www.clipstar.com/videopage.jsf?video=9_7002_159 Will you please vote for my video and help to fund the creation of my healing arts center? I am currently in 2nd place, and if I win this contest, it will go toward to creation of my family healing arts center and community healing project. Thank you! I greatly appreciate your support!

[06 Mar 2008|09:39pm] thorney Hi all I'm a UK based fire spinner, but in about 5 months time I'm moving to Vancouver, and I was hoping somebody here might know of any groups that meet to spin in the city. Thanks! Btw, the userpic is me using an Aerotech Glostaff Pro at a nightclub event at Loughborough Students Union. Really nice staff, gives very good pics :) A bit on the weighty side though, and is very smooth, so can't do much contact without it sliding all over the place.... Axe 10 comments|post comment

Perfect Circle [31 Jan 2008|04:40pm] _graywolf_ I managed to edit and upload my favorite fire spinning picture from the shoot Fancisco Dorsman did with me last year in the Netherlands. The buzzsaw spinning, while arching my back was such a fantastic artistic shot, and I really wanted to tone everything down to sepia tones, everything BUT the fire. The result is, in my mind, a really stunning and captivating shot! ( Fire spinning picture behind cut, NSFW - Artistic Nudity ) P.S cut for artistic nudity. I personally don't really count this as explicit, but should this violate community rules feel free to remove this post and accept my apologies for it :) 26 comments|post comment
