Following a light breakfast (8:00 – 9:30), we gather in an OPENING CIRCLE (9:30), to share a few songs, exercises, logistical info, and introductions to whatz to come for the day.
Whatz to come are offerings (aka ‘class’, ‘workshop’, etc. .) in the morning (10:15 – 12:15), early afternoon (2:30 – 4:30), and late afternoon (4:45 – 6:45).
Lunch is at 12:30 and dinner at 7:00.
Evening activities include night song sharing in the sky lodges. These usually have a tender/facilitator, who lightly keeps song sharing happening in a traditional Singing Alive way that encourages equitable sharing, and welcoming space for novice singers.
In addition to night circles there may be a (singing) ceremonies or activities during these evening hours
High volume voices and instrumentation dial way down after midnight if there is camping nearby. There will be a couple hours of (semi-) silence between 6–8 am.
A marketplace / barter fair happens Monday afternoon, so feel free to bring things to sell or trade.
We will officially end Monday late afternoon, after the marketplace. People are welcome to stay for dinner Monday evening, though you need to move your cars out of the parking field and into the event site. You need to be off site by 10 am Tuesday morn. Thank you!
