Midsummer days............. a time of coming together of tribe. The Fire is lit, the flames rise warm, multi coloured flags blow and crackle softly in the breeze.
“This is a place of gathering, of friendship and acceptance, of celebration and playfulness. A place to distil the wisdom of tribe ….........”
Smiles and scowls, ignorance and wisdom, fear and courageousness, clumsiness, and grace, …welcome all to the fireside…..

This includes all food, camping fees and facilitation
If you need to pay less, please feel free to do so -
