The Principle of Giving

GIVING

"FIGMENT is devoted to acts of gift giving and volunteering. FIGMENT itself is a gift from volunteer artists and event staff, who hope that each participant brings an attitude of giving. Giving does not imply a return or an exchange for something of equal value." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles

Not only does giving support your feelings of self-worth and increase your confidence, giving allows us to connect with and contribute to our community. Gift giving can come in many forms:

Do you have a special skill that doubles as a gift? Participant Vanessa gave spectacular hair cuts using a barber chair, scissor set, and big mirror that she brought herself.

Every year at ALPHA, we create an effigy to burn at the end of Saturday evening. It's always a full group effort - before and during the event! Volunteering your time for the effigy is always rewarding.

Giving also shows itself in taking time to teach someone else a new skill. What skills can you share with other ALPHA artists?

This is an entertaining game where you can experience the thrill of being a boss, pitting the Queen against an ever-strengthening hero. It’s a delightful game to enjoy during your leisure time.<a href=“”http://thedarkqueenofmortholme.me/" rel="nofollow">http://thedarkqueenofmortholme.me/">the dark queen of mortholme</a>
