THURSDAY

(Thur, 12:00 pm) - SITE OPENS

(Thurs, 7:00 pm) - Trading Blanket - MCd by Dannie
On the trading blanket, a person puts down what they wish to trade. Others in the circle place what they are willing to trade for that item, which can include more than one item. The trader the has three choices: she can signal acceptance of a trade by handing her item to the person whose trade she wishes to accept and picking up the traded item; she can instead "sweeten the pot" to ask that more or different items be offered; or if she sees nothing she likes she can say "no trade" and pick up her item. Sometimes items get traded multiple times. Things that can be traded: books, jewelry, lotions, candles, clothes, oils, drinking horns, glass bottles, ritual items, Native American items. Service can also be traded - stepping on the cloth means you will give two hours work, including services such as camp clean-up, readings, massage, and help packing and loading. 2 hours.

What awaits beyond the Hawthorn Gate is not spoken of openly. Expect music, movement, mystery, faery glamour, and the deep wild magic of the liminal world. Come willing to wander. Come willing to be changed. If you have trouble sitting or laying on the ground, please bring a chair. Monument Rock.

(Sun, 10:00 am) - Sound Bath: A Journey Beyond the Veil - by Stormy Bishop
Join us under the sky as we step into sacred space and surrender to the frequencies that exist between worlds. This one-hour immersive sound bath is a ritual of release a space to shed what weighs heavy, to straighten the crown, to untangle cords, and to return home to your own magic. You'll be surrounded by the harmonic resonance of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, bells, and vibrational frequencies designed to guide you into deep rest, activation, clarity, and renewal. The body responds to sound the way the earth responds to rain softening, opening, remembering. This experience is for witches, healers, seekers, dreamers, empaths, and anyone ready to release what no longer serves their journey. Bring water, a journal, and anything that supports your ritual, such as ritual crystals, talismans, deity offerings, a favorite shawl, or simply an open heart. Bring a blanket, yoga mat, or anything soft to lie on; you are welcome to recline and fully surrender to the vibrations, or sit in a position that feels best for you. Comfort is the key to allowing the sound to do its work. Come with an open heart, and let the frequencies carry you into the magic of the moment. 1 hour, on Monument Rock.
