On the longest day of the year, we gather together to garden, eat, share enriching dialogue & dance.
Special Guest: Acclaimed author and speaker Charles Eisenstein takes the Hawk stage to speak on the topic of “peace, sanity, and pilgrimage in times of turbulence.”
Locally beloved: Cat, aka Purrriestess brings us home to our bodies with a dance to close out the evening.
Come get your hands in the garden, take a permaculture tour then enjoy fresh pizza from our new wood-fired oven before Charles takes the stage.
