Things To Bring

The first thing to bring is your willingness to offer cooperative energies to keep things flowing well. To keep the gathering affordable to all who wish to attend, we ask everybody to volunteer to assist, to the extent you are able, in the smooth running of the event.  Tasks include childcare, registration, firewood gathering, food preparation and serving, circle recording, washing dishes, potty perusal, cleaning up, running errands, etc. There will  be a volunteer coordinator to assist with this. 

This is a living-on-the-land thing, so come prepared with tent, bedding, flashlights, water bottle, warm clothes, etc. Bring your bathing suit (or not) if you wish to swim. The water supply is abundant at this site, so no need to stock up on that. .   Bring songbooks and CDs for show and share. If you have a recording device, bring for yourself, or we can use it as an additional resource for recording.

If you have things to sell or trade, bring them for a midday barter faire on Sunday.

Food

The food vision is to enjoy a great potluck (food for everyone, no vendors), with focalizers/organizers providing staples, such as grains, condiments, cooking oils, kitchen infrastructure, and a person who’s task it is to run the whole thing.   Meaning everyone is requested to bring food and drinks to contribute to the community kitchen.

Since it will be harvest season, there should be much abundance out there. Bring what fruits and vegetables you can to feed the Family! Everything will be vegetarian, and as organic as possible.

Bring your own plates, cups, and silverware and keep them for the duration. We’ll have a dishwashing station set up and a tea station, so helpful hands and donations of teas, chais, coffees, etc. will be much appreciated.
