changes within the Earth and ourselves. Welcome and celebrate with us a truly magical time of

January 18-20, 2013
Presented by Carolina Spirit Quest
Fairy Stone State Park, Stuart, VA
Join Carolina Spirit Quest at the fifth annual - Winter Quest! So many of us have jobs that
don't allow us to listen to the cycles of the natural world, particularly in the winter when Nature's
message is one of rest and renewal. The purpose of Winter Quest is to listen to the rhythms of
Nature and to do quiet reflective and nurturing rituals and activities. This weekend event, like
last year's, will follow a pattern similar to that of a Spring Quest - but on a more leisurely pace
and scaled back participation. Registration is limited to 32 participants. When the wheel turns to
the chilled short days of winter, it is time for introspection once again. This January, we will be
continuing our process of looking inwards in the wintertime. The theme for the Winter Quest
event is "Our Sacred Community."
February 1-3, 2013

Summerland Festivals, Bonita Springs, FL
Hawkfest is a Drum and Dance Festival put on BY Drummers and Dancers! Started as a
small gathering of friends who are dedicated to the joy and fun of dancing and drumming,
Hawkfest has become a gathering where dancers and drummers, fire spinners and hoopers gather
to share techniques, music, and to expand their knowledge. For the past two years, we have come
together creating Magickal and unforgettable experiences! Hawkfest is an Adults ONLY
festival someplace where adults come together in a safe place for GROWN UP TIME! We
have done this for a few reasons. Not only is this a time for Adult fun, the gathering has areas
where Skyclad (full nudity) is permitted. In the past kids have been part of our gathering. The
adults who attend want to feel the freedom to be Adults. Most children were not raised in such a
free and open culture. Because of this, we prefer that those who come to Hawkfest be 18 years
f age and over. In case you haven't figured it out yet, HAWKFEST IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!
Every night transports you into a place where you can dance, drum, spin, hoop, and celebrate
until the sun rises! It is a time outside of time where we set aside egos and drum and dance
finding the rhythmic ecstasy of our extraordinary lives. Dancers, Fire Spinners and Hoopers
come to Hawkfest to experience not only their own heart and soul but the hearts and souls of
everyone in the Circle each other and the drummers. You will walk away from Hawkfest a
better player, a better dancer, a better hooper, or a better fire spinner!!!

SummerFest 2005, comments by Isaac Bonewits: "Last night (Thursday), the festival held
it's opening circle, which was not what most festival-goers think of as such. First there was an
hour-long ritual briefing earlier in the evening, then everyone was sent to their cabins to nap.
When the ceremony began at 11:00 pm, it was an intense, all-night ritual, focused around the
alchemically transformative power of the sacred fire and the drums. It seems that many of the
drum circles now being done in the western part of the USA are more structured than those in the
east, and are designed to produce deep trances and psychologically important changes, rather
than just the ecstatic joy I'm used to seeing in eastern Pagan festivals."

Hawkfest is a Drum and Dance Festival put on BY Drummers and Dancers! Started as a
small gathering of friends who are dedicated to the joy and fun of dancing and drumming,
Hawkfest has become a gathering where dancers and drummers, fire spinners and hoopers gather
to share techniques, music, and to expand their knowledge. For the past two years, we have come
together creating Magickal and unforgettable experiences! Hawkfest is an Adults ONLY
festival someplace where adults come together in a safe place for GROWN UP TIME! We
have done this for a few reasons. Not only is this a time for Adult fun, the gathering has areas
where Skyclad (full nudity) is permitted. In the past kids have been part of our gathering. The
adults who attend want to feel the freedom to be Adults. Most children were not raised in such a
free and open culture. Because of this, we prefer that those who come to Hawkfest be 18 years
of age and over. In case you haven't figured it out yet, HAWKFEST IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!
Every night transports you into a place where you can dance, drum, spin, hoop, and celebrate
until the sun rises! It is a time outside of time where we set aside egos and drum and dance
finding the rhythmic ecstasy of our extraordinary lives. Dancers, Fire Spinners and Hoopers
come to Hawkfest to experience not only their own heart and soul but the hearts and souls of
everyone in the Circle each other and the drummers. You will walk away from Hawkfest a
better player, a better dancer, a better hooper, or a better fire spinner!!!

Presented by the Celtic Church of Dynion Mwyn
Cherokee Farms, LaFayette, GA
In March of 1967, Rhuddlwm Gawr and Dynion Mwyn established "The Gathering of the
Tribes" (the first Pagan "Gathering of the Tribes" festival recorded) in Western Maryland. In
1978 Dynion Mwyn held the 12th Annual "Gathering of the Tribes", with a National
Pagan/Wiccan Leadership conference at Unicoi conference Center near Helen Georgia. It was
attended by Ray Buckland, Margot Adler, Selena Fox, and many other national Pagan leaders.
This gathering, held at the time of the Summer Solstice, brought together Pagans from many
paths and places from all over the United States..In 1991, We held the Gathering and hosted
Janet and Stewart Farrar, Otter G'Zell, and several other international Pagan Leaders. In 2007 and
2008 we held the Gathering and hosted Maxine Sanders, Chris Penczak and other national Pagan
Authors.
In 2013 the 46th anniversary of the Gathering of the Tribes will again focus on leadership
and building pagan community. We are inviting those same leaders, as well as current authors
and groups to help us determine what has changed and what has stayed the same in the
intervening years. This will help us all determine what are the problems and what are the
solutions of the New Paganism. To help us identify these problems and solutions, we will focus
on relinking with Nature, building community, establishing leadership training, and working with
pagan culture across a diversity of traditions and paths. There will be panel discussions, rituals,
workshops, belly dancing, music and great fun.
The 46th Gathering of the Tribes Leadership Conference is asking the question: "What Do
We Need from Our Leaders?

The friendliest Pagan gathering in Florida! Phoenix Phyre is located on a working ranch in
Lakeland, FL, and is celebrating 20 years of festivals this year. The gathering is in open pasture
land that is covered by centuries old live oaks that are full of life energy and give the land a
euphoric feeling of happiness. We are very close to shopping, restaurants, and lodging, if you
prefer not to camp. Please see our website for directions and a map. The main purpose of
Phoenix Festivals is to build community. We try to get to know everyone that attends and make
them feel that they are a part of our Phamily. We do this through community rituals,
community meals, nightly drumming and dancing around the ritual fire, and other shenanigans
promoting a feeling of closeness, unity, spirituality, and just plain fun away from the mundane.
As with other festivals, there will be workshops, games, rituals, and drumming and dancing into
the night. There will be merchants and an auction of unique items made by our own craftsmen
that are unavailable anywhere else. Also, we have nightly fire spinning and are offering fire
spinning workshops for those who want to give it a try. Phoenix Festivals, Inc., and the entire
Phoenix Phamily would like be bid you "Hail and Welcome." Phoenix Phyre is our spring event.

Ramblewood Retreat Center in Darlington, MD
Welcome to our celebration of the Norse/Germanic/Anglo-Saxon Gods and Goddesses!
Come walk the Nine Worlds that spin around the World Tree, and honor the Gods, spirits, and
ancestors. We'll be offering workshops and discussion groups on many different subjects, rituals
large and small, and intensives where you can work with specific Gods or traditions. There will
be
vendors of handmade spiritual crafts, diviners, and many group altars set up for the weekend. The
festival is at a Pagan-friendly campground with cabins, showers, and a meal plan.
While this event is open to everyone, the focus will be on modern Neo-Pagan ways of
honoring the Northern Gods. This is not a reconstructionist-focused event; it is a place for
diverse
worshipers to come together and share. Many different Northern Gods will be honored at some
point or another during the weekend, and while no one is required to honor any particular deity,
we expect folks to be respectful of all differing religious practices, the Gods of everyone present,
and all other attendees regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or lifestyle. Hospitality, and creating
a
safe, peaceful, and nonjudgmental space for everyone is a high priority for us.
Come to the shadow of Yggdrasil and dance with us!
