St. Capressian

==At a Glance==
Located at the mouth of a hot spring in The Western Peaks, the town of St. Capressian was a vale of free-love. One of the community’s founding aims was to research the issues of love and sexuality. In the early years the prevailing idea was to search for a way to be together that would help to overcome the fears and possessiveness often experienced that hinder our ability to love. After the initial radical approach, more and more emphasis then began to be placed on partnerships. Since then, some members live in various forms of open relationships and others live as monogamous couples. The aim of St. Capressian has still been to take an open approach to love and sexuality, building trust among each other whatever form relationships may take.
===History===
Founded by Saint Capressian of the Church of Sehahnine, the town of St. Capressian (which borrows his name) was intended to be a temporary experiment to research issues of love and sexuality. When it endured, many feared it would be a threat to other pastoral communities that worshipped Sehahnine, but its existence has proven to showcase a community dedicated to acceptance and affection, always being guarded for its purity.
===Religion===
Devoted to Sehahnine the church of St. Capressian is highly sexualized, but non-erotic. Touching and nudity are commonplace in its services, including symbolic kissing of phallic or feminine idols (Pushpa Dawan and Telyn Brunrock would provide communion through the congregation kissing their covered genital).

===Political Structure===
Many of the community members work within catering, accommodation, organisation of events and agricultural trade. Other areas where members work directly for the community include the garden and the site maintenance team. Community-members also are self-employed, some have day jobs in the region or earn their living further afield. Members are also expected to carry out some voluntary work within the community. Its greatest export is silver spoons, of all things.Category:The Western Peaks
