FULL MOON POTLUCK & BONFIRE -  DATES on chart below. 

 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.
