Meet the Organizers

Amaranth (they/co/any) enjoys reading, decorating their room, spending time outside, cooking, and working with kids. Co attended the 2019 Queer Gathering, attended and helped organize the 2023 and 2024 gatherings, and is excited to be organizing again in 2025! They love living rurally and being surrounded by other queer folks.

Lindsey (she/her) joined Twin Oaks Community in 2015. Her work at Twin Oaks includes delivering mail, managing community laundry, and doing routine shifts at a tiny sewage treatment plant. She enjoys crochet, photography, boardgames, reading, walking in the woods, naps, and wasting time on the internet.

Stephan (they/he/co/ze) has lived at Twin Oaks Community for over a decade! In addition to working on the Queer Gathering, co focuses mostly on equipment maintenance, welding, indexing books, and doing taxes for all 90 members on the farm. They also enjoy blacksmithing, rock climbing, DJing dance parties, being read to, and consuming a variety of potato products.

Aer (they/she) attended Queer Gathering in 2023 and from that experience decided to live at Twin Oaks. They helped organize Queer Gathering in 2024 and are returning for 2025 as well. They are passionate about cooking, baking bread, queer body autonomy, and medical self-determinism.

Zoe (She/her) attended the 2023 Queer Gathering, organized in 2024, and is excited to organize again this year. She does a variety of odd jobs around Twin Oaks including childcare, building maintenance, food processing, and picking up after her housemates. Zoe helps run the Louisa Food Not Bombs group that distributes free produce on Sunday afternoons. In her free time, she enjoys sleeping, drawing, and herding her blind cat around the courtyard.

Ari (they/them) has lived at Twin Oaks for a long time and has been helping organize the Gathering in various capacities since its beginning. For work they like gardening, sewing, illustrating, teaching art and craft classes, and running germination tests, but their favorite is probably putting seed packets in boxes for hours on end while listening to queer podcasts. At the Gathering they can often be found giving haircuts, organizing the arts and crafts tables, and pondering which of the many excellent workshops to attend.
