Events exploring new ways of being to feel alive in every act.

New ways of GREETING
Alright.
As clanky as the “Fine thanks, how are you?” stuff can be, greetings are needed. They acknowledge presence, suggest relations, and initiate communication. Too often though, greetings are procedural; awkward formalities of embedded pretence.
new func seeks greetings that make us feel alive.

new func’s greetings are acts of coming to life in the initiation of connection. They lower the bridges of consciousness between one and another, and flow forth into open and meaningful communion.
