The event went better than we could have ever imagined. We were expecting a good event, but you folks sure blew our minds away and we had a great event. Friends, old and new, came from near and from far to celebrate the full moon and to gather in the spirit of alliance and community. We had two bands, three tarot card readers, three fires, a kitchen full of drinks and snacks, a table full of awesome raffle items, and more beautiful, lovely, friendly guests than we could count. Wow!
Seriously, we can’t thank you all enough for your help with this event. We literally couldn’t have done it without you! We’re just so humbled by the community support, and really excited and encouraged for future events with all of y’all!

The Drum-Meister
Many, many special thanks to Michael H. who helped us set up prior to the event, who offered encouragement, enthusiasm, and support, and who facilitated our drum circle at the end of the night. The land spirits, and our guests, all adored the drumming. We are so thankful to have you!
