Earth Celebration - Tapping into Gaia's Consciousness, plant walks, open forum, workshops, bonfire, drumming 

The gong bath is a one-hour immersion in sacred and healing sound wherein the gongmaster activates the full sonic potential of the gong and bathes the listener with sustained waves of primordial sound. During a gong bath, listeners typically experience a sense of connectedness and peace as the sacred sound of the gong clears blockages and restores the free flow of vital energy throughout the body. With its ability to induce a spontaneous meditative state, the gong offers listeners access to parts of the mind that are usually closed, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness. Not all gongs are alike. The Earth Gong is a rare and magnificent instrument, a large, 38-inch gong harmonically tuned to the vibration of the primordial AUM, the Universal Chord, the source of all vibrations, and to the fundamental vibration of Planet Earth as she revolves around the Sun. The Earth Gong produces an incredible depth of frequency and harmonic complexity that is unmatched by any other contemporary gong. Marco Dolce is a musician, sound healer, teacher, and best-selling recording artist known as XUMANTRA, internationally acclaimed for his work with authentic Himalayan singing bowls and master quality gongs. His recordings are in use worldwide by yoga practitioners, alternative healers, meditators, and spiritual seekers of all types. Marco has been hailed by critics as a modern pioneer and master of the contemporary uses of these miraculous instruments.

Experience the lifestyle of the near future! The Earth Harmony Festival brings attendees into the progressive and innovative lifestyle of a fully functioning EcoVillage. Held at Avalon Organic Gardens & EcoVillage in Tumacácori, AZ October 7th and 8th, the Earth Harmony Festival offers a one-of-a-kind experience to tour & camp in North America's largest EcoVillage during a weekend of conscious music, delicious food, local vendors and crafts, activities for kids, and presentations on a wide variety of sustainable living practices, all set on 220-acres of the scenic Santa Cruz River valley nestled between the Tumacácori and San Cayetano Mountains.

Through this gathering, we carve out time and space to be held by Mother Earth, tend to ourselves, discover new truths, uncover strengths, release habits that no longer serve, and connect with like-hearted women. - During the 4 day gathering, you’ll have the opportunity to "choose your own adventure.” With 20+ workshops from a wide variety of teachers based in the Midwest you get to curate your experience based on your needs, wants, and desires. If you feel like movement, there are opportunities for yoga, Qigong, and guided hiking. If you feel like resting and relaxing, there are classes for that too! You create your experience. There is no way to do this wrong. If you feel like sitting by the creek and journalling or going for a silent walk in the Fall colors go for it! - - -

This year’s gathering is a call for connection—connection to our deepest values and truths, connection to the Earth, connection to the moment, and connection to one another. When we connect deeply, clarity often arises. We know what to do. When we connect with someone or something we are close to it. There is a power when we gather as a collective—we learn from each other and grow with one another. -

Echoes in Time is a week long ancestral skills gathering held every June in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and the Traditional Territory of the Kalapuya, near Monmouth. Our mission is to unite people from different demographics, communities, and backgrounds, through the sharing of common traditions of place-based ancestral living skills. Participants camp out on private property and enjoy 5 days of learning various skills from the “stone age” to the “iron age” (basketry, bows & arrows, wild edible plants, pottery, black-smithing, stone tools, felting, animal tracking, and more). This is an excellent family adventure and no previous experience is required. In this age of ever-increasing technology and globalization, the skills of preindustrial people are being forgotten. Come remember them with us. Echoes is a program of Rewild Portland, a nonprofit organization. - www.echoes-in-time.com -
