We gather together each month to enjoy nature and each others company.
By this simple process, we reconnect with the elemental beauty of creation and human community.
This is a great time for folks who haven't been to the Strawbale Studio to visit, tour, and meet others.
There are "regulars" - neighbors and friends - who frequently attend, and generally quite a few children.
Feel free to bring musical instruments ...and share your local economy if you wish: things to sell,
your business cards...and such!
While this is a free community event ~ donations are (joyfully) accepted ~ with a goal to provide scholarships to enable 5 low-income individuals to attend a workshop this year !
Progress toward this goal will be tracked on this page starting January, 2013.

Bonfire, or gather around the wood stove fire in the Strawbale Studio

Join in on this free community event that includes a tour of the buildings, a bonfire and an opportunity to be with good folks and nature. RSVP and Registration 6 pm tour. 7p food and bonfire. Donations to the Strawbale Studio are appreciated.
Note that 4 of the potlucks are held at the closest time to the peak full moon,
and do not fall on the "day" of the full moon ~for example, the moon is fullest on March 27 at
4:30 am in the early morning, so the potluck is held in the evening of March 26. Milton requested this accuracy. :)
