Support the Land & the Mission
This gathering takes place on private land along the Dosewallips River in Brinnon, Washington—surrounded by forest, wildlife, and flowing water.
What we’re building here is more than a single event.
This land is becoming a space for seasonal gatherings, wilderness education, family campouts, and women’s retreats—rooted in connection to nature, hands-on skills, and community.
A big part of this vision is creating opportunities for kids and families to learn directly from the land through experiences like fishing, animal tracking, plant identification, ancestral crafts, camping, and hiking.
Our intention is simple:
to create a place where people can come outside, slow down, learn, and reconnect—to the land, to each other, and to something more real.
This Beltane gathering is the beginning.

Land AcknowledgementWe gather on the ancestral lands of the Twana people, including the Skokomish Tribe, who have stewarded this region since time immemorial. We also acknowledge the ongoing care of this land by the Coones family, who have tended and protected this space for generations. We gather here with respect for the land, its history, and all who have come before.
