Summer Solstice / Full Moon / Potluck - Come on out to our "Faerie Fun & Frolic" Ritual on June 26th to
celebrate the Summer Solstice. Orpon and Sorsha will be asking all
persons and fae of good intent to come and join us in our circle as we
sing and dance and play drums in a joyous celebration of Summer. As we
all know anytime we ask the fae to join us, it can be all kinds of fun
and frolic, so come on and join us. If you were there last year, you say
remember the effect they had on Sorsha..........
Everyone remember to bring you mosquito repellent, because as you can
easily guess we have a bumper crop of skeeters again this year, and we
will indeed have this Ritual outdoors.
Come out early and visit with everyone and enjoy the land in full
Goddess bloom. Later, around 6pm or so we will have a potluck meal. OA
will provide a main dish and mint tea. So if you can, please bring
something to add, whatever you like, nutritious and healthy, or sweet
and naughty. Anything at all, no matter how big or how small. All are
welcome to join us. Ritual will follow after dinner and a short time to
clean up the kitchen and dining room.
See you there.
Music for the Earth - A brand new event co-sponsored by GREET. A festival of great music, camping, and great fun, focusing on environmentally oriented music in a beautiful, outdoor setting. Traditionally we have celebrated Interdependence Day instead of Independence Day on the 4th. The reason for this is our belief that all life is interconnected and that we should live in harmony with nature and each other. This music festival fits our mission. Come for the whole weekend or just a day or two.
