Covid-19 Update: Our entire event takes place outdoors with a wide range of attendees. We require frequent handwashing and/or sanitization, and that anyone sick or potentially sick stay home. Masking is optional during this event.
It’s time to gather and create once again! We are excited to be hosting our annual spring gathering again, and this time bringing back those bigger old school vibes!
There will be co-creative workshops, drum circles, group meditation, live music, vending, ceremony, community building projects, and much more!*
This gathering is hosted by Sage Valley, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All proceeds will go into creating the event and growing the projects at Sage Valley, which include our ecovillage and nature school. Donations of time, resources, or monetary energy beyond the suggested donation are strongly encouraged 
Suggested donation to camp at this event is on a sliding scale of $33-$111 per adult or family, which can be purchased in advance here: https://medicinetribe.ticketbud.com/sage-valley-spring…, plus an item to donate to Dharma Greens Vegan Kitchen (which provides free meals during the entire event). Day passes are available with a give-what-you-can donation. Children 15 years old and under require no admission donation. Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian. We do accept alternatives to monetary donations and our list of accepted items can be found here: https://docs.google.com/…/1lXlLmt3BiOfK6FckOlQ8…/edit…

➸WHY MONETARY DONATION? WHY FOOD DONATION?
The Gathering will be held at Sage Valley, an ecovillage home and non-profit organization. Admission and kitchen donations ensure we are all giving what we can. No profits will be taken from donations. Donations will go back into creating the most magical Gathering we can now and in the future. Hosting a gathering of this magnitude takes resources and funding. Our goal is to provide as much as we can and do it in a sustainable way. Donations can be made online and at the gate. If you find the suggested minimum donation unaffordable, there will be VOLUNTEER opportunities so that you may give back through service rather than monetary giving. We also encourage creative alternative donations for admission. A list of acceptable donation items can be found here: https://docs.google.com/…/1lXlLmt3BiOfK6FckOlQ8…/edit…
IMPORTANT NOTE: Everyone entering the event grounds will need a donation or be a volunteer. Regardless of weather, changes to your schedule, personal choices, sickness, family emergencies or any other reason, all ONLINE DONATIONS ARE FINAL, 100% NON-REFUNDABLE & NON-RETURNABLE. By donating you understand & agree to all the information provided on the donation/ticket website. Tickets are, however, transferable & you are encouraged to gift your ticket if circumstances arise where you cannot make the event. See the sections about Volunteer Opportunities and Donation on the FAQs for more information.

➸HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY
We will do everything we can to make this event accessible. There will be parking within walking distance from the main event area. However, the grounds are unfortunately not designed for handicap accessibility. If you have any special needs to be considered, please reach out to the event organizers so that we may try our best to accommodate you. NOTE: The event grounds are typical of Indiana farm terrain. Trails & foot paths are often curvy, rough, grassy & hard to maneuver for some. Therefore we do not consider this land to be accessible for all.

➸LEAVE-NO-TRACE
This is a LEAVE-NO-TRACE event! It’s simple: leave the place you visit the same or better than you found it. Pack it in and pack it out. This property is an actual family farm where people live, treat it the way you would want others to treat your own home. If you see others not honoring the LEAVE-NO-TRACE motto, take some time to explain to them why it’s important & nicely ask them to pick up after themselves. Recycling bins will be available, please be sure to use them! We ask that all trash brought onto the land is also carried off of the land. Trash removal costs us money, uses resources, energy, and time. Attendees found disrupting the natural beauty of the event farm will be removed from the grounds without refund, we are serious here folks! LOVE OUR EARTH!
