Opportunities to sweat it out and cold plunge will be plentiful, both morning and evening at the gathering. The venue's fresh-milled cedar sauna is a work of art. All levels of clothing and/or nakedness are absolutely honored.
From 7-8am Ahkua will lead vigorous circuit training activities throughout the property. Imagine group stretching, trail running, log lifts, tree climbing, push ups etc. All body types and strength levels are totally welcome.
From sweet group serenades to climactic drumming and dancing, there'll be ample opportunity to play and push your edges around the fire each evening. Your songs are welcome here, particularly if they invite group participation.
Friday night post-dinner will be a raucous and beautiful mix of participatory songs led by Bellingham-based song carrier Yambaby. Prepare to have your heart cracked open and your mind blown. All voices welcome.
The Revival Teahouse infrastructure will be on site! Dive deep into connection with new and old friends alike. Jing Fu will be serving a traditional tea service in the early morning, and the table will be self-serve at night.
We're so grateful to be gathering at our friends' special homestead and event space. 15 acres of rolling cedar, maples and ponds. Large event meadow. Communal kitchen. Beautiful gardens. Tiny houses, domes and natural buildings. Sauna, stage, fire pits, composting toilets, outdoor showers, lumber mill, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs (and 8 incredible community members). We think you'll fall in love with this land and these people, fostering relationships to last a lifetime!
It is our intention to create a caring, brave and inclusive container together. We acknowledge that we're mostly middle-aged white-passing men, and that we're forever learning how best to show up in service of equity and beauty. We're bringing our best selves, please do the same. Prepare to feel challenged at times, and offer your feedback to others gracefully. We will not tolerate hate, hubris or harm of any kind in this container. We're all in this together, let's act like it!!! Lastly, we want to acknowledge that we're gathering on the un-ceded lands of the Chimacum / Coast Salish peoples, and we honor them for their long standing presence in this area.
Arrive anytime after Noon on Thursday. We'll have a potluck at 6:30pm, then evening programming from 8-10pm… ***Our official programming will start at 8pm on Thursday evening and end at 2:30pm on Sunday*** (((Participants are expected to stay on site this entire time)))... Spouses and family members are welcome to join us on Sunday from 3pm-on for a potluck and closing ritual. All participants are expected to leave by 10am on Monday morning, unless you are staying on to help clean up. (Please do!)
An organic breakfast & coffee/tea bar will be provided each morning from 8-9:30, and an organic stew with rice and fresh garden salad will be provided each evening. Everything will be gluten free, and there will be vegetarian options available. Please inform us of any other allergens or dietary restrictions in the google form sent out upon registering. Please bring enough food for 3 lunches and snacks/drinks as you prefer. There is plenty of potable water onsite.
To ensure the privacy of community members, directions to the ecovillage will be given upon registration. To estimate travel times, please know for now that it's located within 3 miles of Chimacum, WA. Please try to carpool, parking at the venue is limited. Please park where requested upon arrival, and leave your car there the whole weekend. No driving in and out please.
There are ample composting toilets onsite. Please follow the instructions posted within. Several rustic showers can be found throughout the venue. Please refer to the map to find them, and make sure to bring your own towel etc.
There will only be tent camping and car camping available throughout the weekend. Please come prepared.... There is potable water on site, but sometimes it's a little far away from things. Please bring a personal water jug / bottle to make your life easier.
There are several construction zones at the venue, please be radically careful onsite, and warn your family if they are coming on Sunday. There are NO personal fires allowed at the venue. Safety waivers will be given upon entry to the venue.
We are maintaining a no alcohol policy at the gathering. We'd also prefer that there be no substances that distract you from connection or evolution.
There will be no pets allowed at the gathering. There is a dog, cat, and chickens onsite already.
There is no wifi at the venue, but cell service is pretty good, and plenty of electric. If you need a hotspot it shouldn't be a problem.
We'll have a couple work parties in the weeks before gathering. Please reach out to Ben or Finn if interested!
There will only be refunds issued to those with emergency situations. If you're not able to participate, please find someone to purchase your ticket from you, and let us know their name.
