Benefit Sale

​

We want to acknowledge the great privilege we have; to gather and practice our crafts safely during a time when our country is still embattled over basic human rights, equality and justice. In solidarity, we will be holding a handcraft sale at the gathering, with the proceeds going to Rainbow Fiber Coop. This organization is a Diné-led agricultural co-operative established to improve the financial sustainability and equitable market outcomes for the remaining flocks of Dibé dits’ozí (Navajo-Churro sheep) on the Navajo Nation.  We encourage you to check them out.

​

General Information

We are trying to make this a low impact event. We will have trash, recycling and compost bins available but please minimize.

 

We ask parents to keep in mind that they are responsible for supervising their own children. Teens will need to be supervised or be responsible and self-sufficient.

This is a very rural spot. Wifi and cell coverage are spotty - ask Penny for tips on how to access these. There will be no showers or electricity.  There is a pond for swimming (at your own risk, of course), and there will be shelter for classes and eating in case the weather is not ideal.

 

Meals
Friday night meal is pot luck. Please bring a dish to share.

Saturday night pizza will be provided.
Bring your own food for the the remainder of the weekend.
 

Please bring your own cups, eating plates/bowls and utensils. There will be hand and dish washing stations and a fire pit to warm up or cook food. There is water on site. Gluten free and dairy free pizza can be available but please let us know if you want these when you register. 

 

Accessibility
 

The land is a somewhat flat farm field and apple orchard with sloped woods on one side and a pond and wetland complex on the other. Parking is a short walk away but there is a driveway to the edge of the field with a few parking spots for folks with less walking ability. Please let us know if you have any accessibility questions. 

 

Camping Information

We will let you know where the tenting area is when you get here. It is an easy 200 yard trek from the road - we will have carts available to haul gear. There will be a communal fire ring available for use any time. We hope to spend the evenings around the fire cooking, crafting and socializing. Please bring stories, melodies and a chair if you need/want one.

Please do not bring, alcohol, drugs, pets or firearms.

 

Inclusivity

​

We endeavor to cultivate a welcoming environment of purposeful inclusion. In this environment, all can feel safe, valued, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other and the rest of the natural world. We cherish humanity's diversity, which includes differences in sex, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual or affectional orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective.
