Events

The Home of Harvest festival is Midlothian Castle, Burk’s Falls, Ontario, Canada which is 240km north of Toronto and 375km west of Ottawa. Midlothian Castle is the creation of Peter Camani, an artist / sculptor who created an unusual residence in the form of a castle complete with sculpture gardens on 300 acres which is most commonly known as “Screaming Heads”. With his paintings hanging in such coveted places such as the Vatican and Buckingham Palace Camani decided to focus his energy some 25 years ago till present on realizing a vision of significantly larger proportions and permanence. Today over one hundred “screaming head” sculptures each approximately 20 feet tall and weighing as much as 30 tons are ideally placed through the property along with the castle which has been featured many times on television including the CBC series “On The Road Again, Arthur Black’s Weird Homes, Driven By Vision, Shrines and Other Holly Places, World Of Extreme Homes, and MTV’s Cribs. Presently Camani is working on a film of his own entitled “Witch Way”. There has been no set release date but we should see its completion in the near future. Peter Camani’s Midlothian Castle and “Screaming Heads” sculpture gardens are a truly magical and creative place that’s continually changing and evolving. It’s a perfect fit for our beloved Harvest Festival and it’s a place where all are welcome to explore throughout the year and create our own contributions to peter’s magical lands.

HoneyRoot's Summer Embodiment Retreat is an annual celebration of Women's Embodiment and Intergenerational Collaboration. It's a place to explore, expand, and truly inhabit ourselves as women. Annually, we host a dynamic convergence of fantastically embodied women. Through our array of potent, enlivening, deep-diving course offerings, we extend a four-day invitation to come home to your body and to the precious bond found in true connection. We bring younger women an opportunity to embark upon rites of passage held in the hearts and devotion of the larger community, and we invite women dancing the dance of elderhood to bring us their playfulness, their shyness, their longing, the good medicine of their life experience, and the treasures of their hard-won wisdom. A RE-MEMBERING for all women, whether you've been to the summer gathering before or not. 150 acres of natural beauty, a gorgeous creek, deliciously prepared food, evening rituals, live music, and S P A C E to just be. Located among the pines, oaks, and maples of Shady Creek Retreat Center in Nevada City, CA, HoneyRoot provides opportunities for us to open our bodies to the wisdom that lives inside each of us and the love that inhabits our collective heart. We, organizers and facilitators, do our best to create a strong container, a safe playground, and a loving womb for the sake of the realization of our feminine embodiment. We look forward to welcoming you into the Hive this summer! HoneyRoot knows that in order to have the impact that we desire on the empowerment of women and bodies, in general, we must stay dedicated to creating an intersectional community. Here at HoneyRoot we explore the realities of our own privileges as well as intersecting oppressions in order to understand the impact on ourselves and others. We are dedicated to building greater awareness in ourselves and support our participants in doing the same. We seek to use our privilege to amplify the voices of those who are not normally heard and support and encourage our larger community in doing the same. We honor the Diversity of all beings and stand in solidarity towards ending systems of oppression.

Join us for 4 days of soul nourishment, movement classes, ritual, relaxation and play as we gather the women for our 4th annual summer retreat. Featuring a dynamic team of facilitators offering a broad range of modalities, the beautiful backdrop of Shady Creek Retreat Center and Shady Creek itself, delicious organic food, special programming for maidens and elders, and even childcare for the mamas who want to bring their little ones. It's a celebration of sisterhood and spirit that you won't want to miss.
