Our Days
|
Our days will unfold at a leisurely pace with opportunities for group singing, walking in the woods, sharing nourishing meals, conversing with new and old friends, or simply relaxing. The main focus of the event will be soulful singing and co-creating a web of harmony, kindness, and connection. Participants may choose to engage in other activities such as a morning guided nature walk, morning movement, a folk jam session, evening singing at the fire circle, and diverse community offerings early Saturday afternoon. |
The Schedule |
On-site check-in is scheduled on Friday from 2:00 - 5:00 pm. Our first group gathering will be an opening circle on Friday at 5:00 p.m. Late Sunday morning we'll have a farewell circle and then a shared lunch.

Note concerning waste at camp We invite you to join us in our effort to make as small an environmental impact as possible. It’s a small way of expressing our gratitude to the land that sustains us.
