In addition to doing physical projects, those attending can collaborate on technologies for community building -- land development, conflict resolution, sustainability resiliency, rituals and rites of passage, integrating kids, conscious and collaborative business models, mental health healing and integration, social justice, singing, sound healing, permaculture, soil building and carbon sequestration, community organizing, and other topics for bridging the current world we live within.

​Essentially, we want to encourage conversation through a foundation of community support and personal healing, and find work projects that best support our ideas.

Instructors

Aimée Ringle - song leading and storytelling
​Michael 'Skeeter' Pilarski - permaculture site design
Kalan Hatton - Blue cap oyster mushroom propagation

​& More :)

Everybody Works

Everyone attending contributes approximately 3 hours of service to this gathering. You can choose for your 3 hours to be in the form of a teaching, help prepare meals, clean up after meals, set up, take down, or children's activities. We'll have a sign up board when you check in. 

Everybody Sings

If you wish.
No formal training or experience necessary. Singing is a human birthright to expression, and this gathering is open to all ranges and confidences of voice. The focus is on sharing simple songs and being together, using music and craft to build culture and connection.
