(UPDATED 1/19/2026)

ALL EVENTS ARE ONE HOUR LONG UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE
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.

(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.

(Sun, 4:00 pm) - Giveaway
The Giveaway will act as our closing ceremony. Please bring something that is special to
you, or has brought something good to you, that you are now ready to pass on to someone else.
This gift doesn't have to be something physical; it can be an offer of help or service. Once
something is given away, all strings to that gift are broken; the gift is given with no expectations.
Each person will take a turn to talk about their item and its meaning, then place it on the
blanket/table. Once all items are laid down, if you see something that speaks to you, and no one
else wants it,
you may take it.
