Intention

Expanding eco-consciousness and cultivating community through ritualistic experience

We are committed to cultivating and growing awareness of our oneness and inter-dependence with ecosystems (energetically, spiritually, & biologically). We believe that a deep and personal connection with the land and an understanding of the issues we face & possible solutions are fundamental necessities for the wellbeing of all. We work to gather knowledgeable eco-educators and make their wisdom accessible to the larger community through engaging workshops that address these topics.


An important aspect of developing our relationship with the land is to be in truer relationship with one another. As we can see demonstrated in healthy ecosystems bursting with diversity and symbiosis, a thriving community means a well balanced, thriving environment. What we are facing is simply too big to be processed alone. We need each other. Part of our purpose in gathering at this scale (150-250 max) is to promote & facilitate community-building that is localized & intimate.


When we gather and focus our collective awareness on a shared intention in honor of the sacred, it creates powerful and meaningful opportunities for deep connection. Participating in ceremony allows us to relate with the greater forces of nature and be in reciprocal communication with the subtle energies of the land. We believe this aspect to be a crucial (and often missing) piece of ecological restoration initiatives.

Land Acknowledgement

Oneness & Inter-dependence

Oneness & Inter-dependence

Oneness & Inter-dependence

We are not separate from nature. 

In fact, we are emanations of the incredible fabric of elements & forces that is our planet. Our biology is composed of vast networks of microbial ecosystems that mirror our planetary ecosystems because we are each a microcosm of the Earth.

Personal Connection

Oneness & Inter-dependence

Oneness & Inter-dependence

We are re-learning relationship.

We can only take responsibility for our role in the future we're building if we reconcile our place among all our kin. We're remembering how to communicate with the land, waters, plants & animals, so that we can be better partners with our ecosystems.

Engaging Workshops

Oneness & Inter-dependence

Engaging Workshops

We are learning from one another.

It can be heartening to know that there are people tending the land with integrity & care. While one can never have all the answers, many can help fill in the gaps. With humility, we share & collaborate in support of the best possible outcome for all.

Thriving Community

Honoring the Sacred

Engaging Workshops

We are not in this alone.

This work can be far too heavy to carry on our own, so we gather to remember the resource of the collective. Music, dance, & art are key elements of our gathering because they are pillars of community & culture, giving us a space to be held, process our emotions, express ourselves, & be in joy.

Honoring the Sacred

Honoring the Sacred

Honoring the Sacred

Reverence is a path to reconciliation.

Approaching our land-work as a sacred endeavor is an integral part of healing our inner & outer dynamics with nature. Ritual & ceremony are avenues for humbly acknowledging our place among & relationship with the countless kin whom we live with & who make up our bodies.

Subtle Energies

Honoring the Sacred

Honoring the Sacred

There's more than meets the eye.

When we open ourselves up to experiencing with all our senses through intuitive ways of knowing, we can recognize that there are infinite unseen facets of nature. Being aware of & present with these invisible forces helps maintain the balance of power & can provide us with a greater sense of belonging.

We are dedicated to financial accessibility.

Our goal is to keep ticket prices as affordable as possible. We do this by keeping low overhead costs and building strong relationships with key contributors.


Any profits made from this event (revenue beyond our base costs) are shared with our ecosystem of local collaborators & invested back into production.
