** Carpool if you can! Go HERE to offer a ride or get one **

Join us for the Spring Equinox Campout, the first campout of the yearly cycle in our series of four seasonal campouts every equinox and solstice. See the full year's seasonal campout dates at bottom.

Join us for 3 days and 2 nights of connection, expression, and movement in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains! Our Spring Equinox Campout is all about creativity, expression, and life bursting forth from a long period of rest. There will be an emphasis on art and art making, embodiment, and connection to prana/chi/lifeforce energy. Enjoy dance journeys, yoga/qi gong, meditation, authentic movement, contact improv, visual arts, hiking, nature immersion and plenty of play time each day to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

SPRING EQUINOX CAMPOUT

An extended weekend of community, nature, and celebration of life at Skyview overlooking the Monterey Bay. We will get playful and creative as we enter the spring season together and enjoy this time of new growth, buds, and blossoms in the Northern Hemisphere. This will be a sweetly held container blending a variety of offerings from our DJs and facilitators (see schedule below).

This campout includes simple, organic, vegetarian meals (vegan/gf options) which are provided with love and care to nourish your body. As for sleeping, there are both spaces to pitch a tent or car/van camp. There will also be a large heated group tent for some of the classes and activities that will also be available for anyone to roll out their sleeping bag. And yes there's a hot tub, two outdoor hot showers, and two composting toilets.

///  Parents and kids are most welcome. Kids 18 and under are free. There is no "kid's program" or childcare provided. Parents take full responsibility for their children and their well being and make sure they are supervised at all times.

/// Getting there can be challenging for some. The route is paved most of the way but the last mile is not paved plus it's steep and narrow in some places. Any vehicle can make it if you drive very slowly. And of course if you have a four-wheel or all-wheel drive bring that.​

//// No RVs or trailers.

/// There are no more scholarship or work trade positions available. All facilitator slots are filled.

​///  Simple, nourishing, organic, vegetarian meals are included! Vegan and gluten-free options provided.

/// Please leave all non-human animals at home (excluding legitimate service animals).

​/// All are welcome and asked to practice care and respect...for yourself, each other, and Earth. Everyone in attendance commits to practicing active consent in all their interactions. Set your intention to be present and devoted to the experience. You are of course free to choose how you spend your time balancing rest with participation, group time with solo time.

/// This gathering is a recreational drug and alcohol free space. All participants commit to not being under the influence at any time while on property, not having such substances in possession, nor bringing them to the campout in any way. If you need an exception to this agreement for a genuine health concern you may email us through this website at least 24 hours prior to arriving at camp to discuss possibilities.

==============================

​

Please be aware that everyone attending is taking 100% responsibility for their own health and safety. Everyone is empowered to be at choice. Masks, vax, and tests are NOT required in any way. Much of the retreat will happen outdoors, but there will be indoor (large, heated tent) dancing and classes...especially if it's raining. Being fully at choice, you can decide what you are willing to participate in (and what you are not) at any time during the retreat. If you are ready and willing to join us under these conditions, I heartily welcome you. If not, I completely respect your choice and hope to connect with you in other ways soon.
