Are you willing to experiment with being radically intimate?

Imagine a vibrant community of loving people who care about conscious communication, vulnerability, and personal expansion.

Network for a New Culture (NFNC) events provide an opportunity to connect, explore, and build new relationships—all within a safe and stimulating atmosphere of creativity and fun.

NFNC seeks to build a sustainable, violence-free culture…

by exploring personal growth, transparency, radical honesty, equality, compassion, intimacy, and freedom of choice in our interpersonal and sexual relations. Our events are designed to build bridges between individuals and community and between community and the Earth.

We work to create a welcoming space for all humans, including BIPoC, queer, trans, polyamorous, disabled, and neurodiverse folks of all ages and backgrounds.

Affinity Belonging Camp West:  Defiant Joy Is Resistance

Affinity Belonging Camp East: From Oppressed to Fully Expressed

August 5 - 11, 2025

Affinity Belonging Camps(AB Camps) are inspirational camps that focus on moving away from oppression to embrace liberation.  Each AB Camps is a unique, one of a kind experience created for and by folks that are People of the Global Majority (PGM), LGBTQIA+, and their allies.  This is a place to do liberation work that can lead to healing, transformation, and celebration.

The format of AB Camps are similar to other NFNC camps, including experiential workshops, Forum, sensual spaces, dancing, singing, and connecting deeply with each other.  We also honor Indigenous-inspired personal storytelling, and enjoy multi-ethnic food and music.
