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, innovative 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. To amass a crowd of gratitude to shower the world with our thanks for living. Staff & InstructorsJennimae Hillyard - opening & closing ceremonies

Kids of all ages are welcome. There is a Children's Area thanks to Singing Tree Preschool.
Advanced notice: enjoy using Singing Tree Preschool items in the preschool room only, and do not let the toys and art supplies wander anywhere else in the church. Thanks! Kids!!!: If you would like to teach, let us know how we can support you! Everybody WorksEveryone 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.
We also recognize the value in the adventure of a "Resting Song" -- in sitting back in the Grandmother's rocking chair and watching the day's activities unfold around you. Please come and chat, witness and listen. The more the merrier. Everybody SingsIf 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.
