✨‼️This is a SOBER EVENT!

We have done so much work in the last several years to create a culture of safety and connection at our Gatherings. 🙏🏽

Often, hard substances, mixing narcotics or alcohol have contributed to many conflicts, uncomfortable situations, and miscommunication at Sage Valley.

We strive among all to keep this a family friendly centric place
- a haven for kids to feel free to run without witnessing drunken/high outbursts or stumbling or where they won't pick up something!
- A place to feel seen and heard when speaking or being spoken to.
- A place for non-aggression.
- A place for those in recovery to feel comfy coming to one of the only festivals where they won't be offered drugs or alcohol.

For this reason, we have made our gatherings officially Sober!

If you are witnessed or suspected to have or be in hard drugs or alcohol, you will be greeted kindly with peacekeepers to seek your intentions and it could warrant your removal and request to vacate the grounds.

🚫🍺💊🍄💉🪈
These exclusions include, but are not limited to;
- All alcohol, w**e, b**r, home brew, liquor.
- Any narcotic drug or substance.
- Any prescription medication that is not prescribed to you.
- Hallucinogens.
- Scheduled 1, 2, 3, & 4 drugs.

This year, we are asking all ceremonial / intentional (non habit) use of herbal plant allies, like mullein, mugwort or other flowers, be done at people's personal campsite with consent from those in the immediate area.

Ceremonial to***co around sacred fire is the only exception.

There will be a couple designated smoking areas for those who may need to step away for a cigarette break. 🚬

✌🏽We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding this important matter!

🔥Sacred Fire.

Lit at the beginning and extinguished at the end, the fire represents the heart of a community and is the place to come to for connection, warmth, and solace.

Our Sacred Fire is tended to by experienced firekeepers. For your safety, we ask that unless you've spoken to appointed keepers, you don't handle the fire.

It is not a place for trash or debris. Only to***co, wood, herbs and prayer are to be put into the fire. We are excited this year to have a small separate fire for s'mores!

We ask that you clear your space every evening around the fire and pick up any clutter you see in the space.
🙏🏽✨Treat it like a temple.

🚘 beep beep! Important travel news!!

The main road you take to get to sage valley is sadly out and will be until Oct 24th!

When coming from the north or the east, when you hit Spencer, go left on Main Street, towards Pottersville. It is a winding, narrow back road. If you are pulling a camper, a trailer, or have a bus, be advised that this route is the best (The other is gravel!) BUT take your time, and stay safe!

Remember the turn into SV is kind of hidden. But it's all apart of the adventure out of the Matrix! ✨

2 MORE DAYS!

‼️ We're getting close!

Remember, to plan & pack accordingly! Prepare for rain. Prepare for heat. And prepare for the cold as all 3 ranges are predicated as a possibility this weekend.
☂️🧥👚

To note, we are a primitive camping spot and not a campground. We have no electrical hook ups or dumping stations, but we do have solar power in designated areas, a few spots of wi-fi, 2 running showers, 2 composting toilets + a portable ADA bathroom. We have a few generators on the land but you shouldn't count on those specifically. Often a camping neighbor will help!🙏🏽

The kitchen will feed us 3 meals a day, but if you have picky eaters or feel you will need more provisions please bring em! While the kitchen does the best they can accommodating many needs, you may have to handle some things on your own.

🦟 be advised, bugs are a thing. Bring anything you need to make yourself comfortable! The closest big store is about 30 minutes away in Spencer.

Our medic tent will have your basic necessities, but please bring any medications/supplements you may need to stay healthy and happy!

We can't wait to spend this time with you!
Ow, ow, owwwwwwww! 🐺

LEAVE NO TRACE!!

What does this statement mean to you!?

For us, it means leaving this place as good as, if not better, than you found it!

When you leave, we want no physical proof of it, except for the good vibes you left on the land.

🆕 ☝ This year we’re trying something new! We are going to have a “dish deposit” for people who need to borrow the community's dishes.

Often, after gatherings, we either find dishes everywhere, unwashed, or we’re missing a lot, meaning the residents who live on the land are then responsible for picking them all up, washing them, or replacing them.

We get that things happen & sometimes we miss things as we're rushing out - no big deal, we love sharing our resources. And, ensuring others don’t have to pick up our mess + having them returned (& washed) is an important part of keeping our community & kitchen spaces flowing nicely and orderly. 🌟

You can keep the dishes you choose with you all weekend, just wash/rinse/wipe off before uses or you can exchange them in for different ones. Either way, please return them to where you found them, washed and ready for the next person!

To get around the deposit, we recommend you Bring Your Own Bliss!! 🍽 This means to bring your own camping dishware and utensils so that you’re responsible for them. You can also bring compostable paper, just rememeber you must carry your trash out with you as we have to pay for trash pickup. 🗑

We’re hoping that this small (& mildly inconvenient) step helps for us to not only get our dishes back, but to keep the dish tub clean so we can get cookware in & out between meals easily, without having a slew of others things crowding the area.

How will this be enforced you ask?! Well, we're counting on you to be honest & use the honor system. In keeping with our sovereign traditions, you get to decide how much your deposit is between .75 cents & $5 bucks! Bring your coins/cash from home or use the QRCode Tip Jar with the note "dish deposit". If you care to get your deposit back after you are done with your washed dishes, you can pick it up/work it out on Sunday at 5:00PM.

We thank you so much for understanding.

GET YOUR DONATIONS READY!!
During your grocery shopping this week, if you're able to pick up a few extras of these things from our Kitchen Wishlist needs, please do so!

We prefer organic, non-gmo, & locally sourced. We thank you for understanding and keeping the vibes in our bodies as good as the vibes in the Valley!!
