- Qigong Camp Council 2019 is a five day council re-visioning Qigong Camp for the next 25 years. For people who have attended the Qigong Camp in the past. -

QuICK and MetroRock are working together again and this time we are headed to Newburyport! Anyone may join us for a special day pass rate at this event. Plan for a fun day of climbing followed by exploring local breweries and the beach! As the date approaches we are seeking climbers to carpool with or maybe bringing our bikes up! Stay tuned for more details and mark your calendars!

The Radical Climbing Festival centers individuals whose voices and bodies are not often represented as the face of rock climbing, yet are at the forefront of expanding access and affirming spaces for all climbers. - The gathering is designed as a space for climbers of color, adaptive climbers, and LGTBQIA climbers with a specific focus on trans and nonbinary folks. The event brings together individuals for a weekend of learning, community-building, and of course, climbing. All attendees must be 18 and have prior climbing experience. You must bring your own gear. -

One week of rawfood, local organic, friendships, outdoor activities, music, yoga, art, in Nature!

This April, we are calling CODE RED ON CLIMATE. - Get to the front lines to #StopAdani before it starts! - Between the 19th April – 19th May, grassroots groups, artists, musicians & skill sharers from across the continent are converging on Central Queensland for a month of direct action, training, workshops and entertainment in opposition to the dangerous Adani Carmichael coal mine. - Join us at #BlockadeAdani, to take action against the fossil fuel barons whose corrupting political influence is driving us deeper into a climate emergency. - The IPCC gives humanity 12 years to save itself, and Australia is ranked as the world's worst performer on climate action. - Australia must keep all Galilee thermal coal in the ground and it must rapidly phase out its domestic use and export of fossil fuels. - Come and be a part of the fight for survival.

Regenerative Culture Gathering -

Capping off July and welcoming August on the weekend of July 30-August 2, the 31st anniversary of Reggae On The River will grace the banks of the meandering Eel River at French’s Camp in Humboldt County, CA. The longest running reggae festival in the U.S.- and the only one in the world known simply as “Reggae”- Reggae On The River is more than just a music festival. It’s a testament to music that opens boundaries and brings people together. A celebration truly deserving of an annual pilgrimage- the 2015 edition will again represent the evolution of global reggae music with performers from the far corners of the Earth- and irie vibes for miles - all weekend long. Three and 4-day tickets are still available- as are a limited number of RV spots. If you act soon, you could go big with the new Ambassador Pass to enjoy unprecedented perks and access while supporting two Jamaican non-profits- the Alpha Boys Institute and Lil Raggamuffins Summer Camp. For those with a 4-day pass, admission begins on Thursday, July 30th and includes first dibs on camping and an extra evening of entertainment to include King Jammys, Fortunate Youth, Mr. Williamz, HIRIE, Pyrx Band, IrieFuse, Iya Terra, and others. The 3-day ticket allows access to the grounds on Friday, July 31 and highlights an epic schedule to kick off the main event with performances by Cham, Protoje & The Indiggnation, Collie Buddz, Katchafire, Stick Figure, Inna Vision, and Juce. Building on these foundations, Saturday’s massive line-up will feature Stephen “Ragga” Marley, Tarrus Riley & Blak Soil, Ce’Cile, Ghetto Youths International featuring Jo Mersa, Christopher Ellis, Black-Am-I, & Wayne Marshall; Emmanuel Jal, Alerta Kamarada, Aaradhna, and Lior Ben-Hur. Culminating the positive vibrations on Sunday, August 2nd will be worldly ambassadors: Alborosie & The Shengen Clan, Nahko and Medicine For The People, The Congos, Exco Levi, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba, Empress Unification, and Reggae Angels. Reggae will also feature top DJs and Sound Systems, the ever-lively KidLandia, and the camping, community, and irie vibes that made Reggae On The River famous. There are more than 60 vending/ non-profit booths, and each of Reggae’s food booths are either partnered with a non-profit or solely run by a non-profit. Some of the non-profits benefitting this year will be, Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice, Fire Departments, Beginnings, Eel River Clean-Up Project, Veterans For Peace to name just a few. Having fun while helping build community is a mantra of ROTR, so whether you are coming by way of the Ambassador pass or a regular weekend ticket, you can bring a tool to donate to the Tools For Change program- an outreach project conducted in partnership with communities in rural Burkina Faso, West Africa. To discover more about these programs, to buy tickets, or to explore the good times to be had at Reggae On The River 2015- visit the festival website at . It’s happening July 30th-August 2nd at French’s Camp, in Garberville, CA- heart of the Emerald Triangle- and your portal to a higher vibration!
