Things To Bring

Singing Alive gatherings depend on 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 in the smooth running of the event. We’ll ask for volunteers for the needs of the day at the morning circle, and leave it to you, and your karmic guidance to keep to your commitments. There will  be a volunteer coordinator to assist with this.

Everyone is requested to bring food and drinks to contribute to the community kitchen, and to help cook, clean, and to do other necessary tasks, including childcare, registration, firewood gathering, circle recording, washing dishes, cleaning up, running errands, etc.

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. If you have a back country water filter, bring it, to help keep our water supply abundant.  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.

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 tea, chais, coffees, etc. will be very  much appreciated.
