“This is our 3rd year & we couldn't be more excited! We have been grateful for the support, honored by this community that keeps showing up, and excited to continue growing. We maintain a vision for creating a sacred container that helps us all feel connected, honor the land, learn from diverse voices, respect Indigenous traditions and perspectives, and keep discovering our gifts and service in creating a new earth together. We believe in collective sovereignty, inclusivity, self-reliance, and interdependence aka community resourcing.
Our family festival is held on 50 acres near Danby, NY, about 20 minutes from Ithaca. The land has a beautiful creek, forest, and several large cleared areas for gathering, camping, and hosting bonfires and effigy. As always, we will have Vendors Village, Kidz Zone, Healing Grove, Community Wellness, Indigenous Village & the Sacred Fire.“
