Below are musings on a fictional experimental Kink-based household exploring alternative ways of living. Everyone takes turns creating a new way of living and directing everyone. Let me know your ideas and I'll revise the text to include them!
----------------------------
What is Felicity?
Felicity is a home of eccentric thinkers, artists, occultists, and misfits interested in ritual, sexuality, power, and new forms of living. It's an experiment in inventing the community and culture of tomorrow. Every two months three random members of our community are selected to invent and decide the rules and social structure of how we will all live for the next sixty days. During a three day planning period they present an outline members must universally agree to. During the two months we document these experiments through personal daily journaling of thoughts, feelings, and fantasies monitored by those currently navigating. Felicity is a place of radical expression without judgement or self-consciousness. We come together to support and enrich the lives of the whole.
Navigators
The three leaders of the current experiment are our navigators. They are to be randomly chosen and must represent a variety of backgrounds. During the three day planning period they must invent the world they wish to live in for the next two months. They are in total control but their initial idea and outline must be unanimously accepted before the experiment begins.
Our Goals
Universal Conduct Agreement
Becoming Felicity
Interview:
New additions to our group can only be made in cases of universal agreement. Joining can only occur during the three days breaks between experiments. An interview will be conducted where the entire group led by out three temporary leaders can ask questions and pose challenges. The goal is to determine of the person compatible, open minded, capable of radical honesty, and free of unnecessary judgement. They shall be naked in front of the group at all times during their interview. Only two individuals maximum may be added every two months. All final decisions will be made in secret by everyone. All agreement must be unanimous.
Induction ritual:
This is secret. What we can say is that all members of Felicity must have a Sigil.
Privacy
As a member of Felicity your mind and body are always open to the current navigators. As a general rule though there is no expectation of privacy in the house. Privacy is the refuge of negative self-consciousness. Felicity is about radical openness and expression. That said, life in Felicity is kept completely secret from those not a part of it. This is for our own protection.
Commitment to Felicity
It is understood that most people must work during the day. It is also understood that some leisure time is necessary. Individuals should spend the majority of their free time with Felicity however (in home or on outings). Our experiments can't work without serious commitment to this endeavor.
Conflict & Assistance
In the event someone is having a hard time or there is conflict in the group an all-house meeting shall be called. A leader shall be agreed upon and they shall moderate a discussion along with the three current navigators of Felicity. Conversation and resolution will be honest, tactful, without judgment, and constructive. The session will not end until a resolution everyone agrees to is reached.
Location
The location and membership of Felicity is secret. Only when we feel society at large can accept our radical ways of living will our internal transparency become external.
