    If anyone knows the dates could ya send the dates to surf & I in private?

      even without internet advertising, the population at gathering has gotten to unsustainable levels at times. it's just an attempt to keep things a bit more sane.

      also, when there was lots of internet advertising, we ended up with lots of non-faerie/not-interested-in-faerie tourists and partygoers just looking to get fucked up. it's better when things are spread by word of mouth.

        yes welll... that is what it is... spring is history now, given - live and learn-
        bless all the RAIN, kept folks scattered a bit, but still a nightmare of logistics for feeding...

        any way,it is such a BIG secret---

        So who else IS going this year?

        and check in--
        "WHAT brings you?" ,
        "why do you called to sanctuary , at this time?"
        "what is your intention?"

        Lets be clear with ourselves and each other- whadda' ya say?

          I'm heading in with three friends. It's best to register by mail and send your donation ahead. Imagine yourself in the place of the sanctuarians getting evrything ready.

          It helps me to bring peanuts and other fillers if I miss a meal. Food is great, but the experience of sharing on many levels why I go and is best with a minimun of distraction. I find that weaning down on meat, sugar, refined carbohydrate weeks before helps to prevent the "calorie shock" I experienced with my first gathering. It wasn't for three days that I stopped hunting for the caloric gratification to which my body was accustomed at the time.

          Preparing before-hand helps make most of the experience for me like I do the same for meditation.

          Love and affirmation,

          Ash
