The wheel has turned again and brought us to the time of the first harvest. Join us as the story of Lugh is woven and the beginnings of this celebration are revealed. Join us for the gathering of the tribes as we celebrate with food, community and weave intentions into a web of our own making.
We are a community, a group of people, alike yet different. There’s no shame in depending on each other. There’s heroism in ordinariness and connectedness and using relationship skills to get through difficult times. Look at the things in your living room or refrigerator and realize they were made by thousands of people on different continents. We are all interconnected. What one does affects the others, either positively or negatively. If the web is plucked, it sends ripples out in all directions, but as long as the strands remain intact, the web will not fall apart. We are individuals, strong in our own right. Yet there is a special strength, a bond when many people come together to weave intentions.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make pickles? Well, you are in luck, as the activity we are going to do to celebrate the first harvest as a community is making pickles. No prior experience is necessary. We will have a donation box to cover the cost of the ingredients and the canning jars.
What you need to bring:
As this is a potluck, you will need to bring a potluck dish. Please post the dish that you are bringing so they are not duplicated. As this is a first harvest festival, think of the bounty of this time of year such as fruits and vegetables from your garden. If you have special dietary needs make sure to bring something that you can eat in case others do not. I will be providing the main meat dish and a couple of gallons of tea as well as flavored waters.
Two quart-sized canning jars with lids.
You should bring a chair as there are limited ones here to sit in the circle with.
Please bring a cup for toasting.
A drum circle always follows so please bring your drums, your noisemakers and your voices and sing them strong.
Looking forward to meeting new friends and greeting old ones… Welcome to the Sanctuary.
Bring your Redneck vehicles, big or little, rusty or shiny, loud or quiet, and join Team Laugh Out Loud for a fun-filled afternoon. Prizes for Biggest, Loudest, Most Redneck, Least Redneck and People’s Choice, and a kids’ “vehicle” division.
Lots of activities for the kids: sunflower seed spitting contest, kiddie tractor pull, sack races, tug-o-war, candy walk and more. Vendors, music and a silent auction. Proceeds this year to benefit The Cat’s Meow, low and no-cost spay/neuter services, and socialization and adoption of feral kittens.
Mirror mirror on the wall; do you see yourself at all?! Often in life, we believe the vision that others have of us, leaving us feeling disempowered and lost. Are you ready to let that go? Are you hungry for nourishment, self-love and a deeper connection to whom you were born to be? Are you ready to let go of limiting beliefs and self-sabotage? It is time sisters, to be the powerful woman that you were meant to be.
This profound workshop will nourish your mind, body and spirit by connecting you to the natural world and introduce you to the powerful woman that you already are. Come and transform yourself through holistic coaching and nature-based rituals that will help guide you to powerful insights, self-discovery and personal growth. In this journey, we will create sacred soul songs, write our pain and speak it freely. You will bless yourself with power charged waters and beautify yourself with silken scarves and jewelry, and then and only then will you look into the mirror….. The Oracle will speak to the depths of the beauty that you are, and you will dance around the fire and sing your soul song.
Each participant will need to provide two scarves and a few pieces of costume jewelry (thrift stores are the best place to find these).
