gathering of the tribe: fall 2018


<3

Fri October 12th 2018 11:00 am – Mon October 15th 2018 10:00 pm (EDT)


This fall we are slowing things down, doing it roots style, and keeping our gathering intimate. Our focus will be building community and getting to know our tribe better. We will be building projects together on the land and discovering our purpose.

*Attendance will be limited to 125 guests for this gathering to keep it intimate.*

This gathering is hosted at Sage Valley which is a non-profit organization. All proceeds will go into creating the event and growing the projects at Sage Valley. Donations of time, resources, or monetary energy beyond the suggested donation are strongly encouraged ♥

Suggested donation to camp at this event is on a sliding scale of $33-$111 per adult or family, an item to donate to Dharma Greens Vegan Kitchen (which provides free meals during the entire event), and at least an hour volunteer help with ongoing projects. Day passes are give-what-you-can . Children 15 years old and under require no admission donation. Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian. We do accept alternatives to monetary donations and our list of accepted items can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lXlLmt3BiOfK6FckOlQ8j5zSouwGEaDCURkqN_Mzivs/edit?usp=sharing

There will be community building projects, nighttime drum circles, shared meal, sacred ritual and ceremony, music, and co-creative expression!

We hope to see you there!

FAQ

➸WHAT IS MEDICINE TRIBE? CAN I JOIN?
The Medicine Tribe is a collective of like-minded individuals who believe in the power of love and healing, who care for planet Earth, who wish to be the change, and who were brought together by the love of conscious music! Everyone is welcome! You can join our online community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/506543842777348/

➸GATE HOURS
The gate will officially open at 11 am on Friday, October 12th, 2018. Early entry will ONLY be allowed for pre-approved volunteers. The gate will be closed at 9 pm each night to ensure safety. No entry into the event will be allowed after 9 pm. DRIVE SLOW when approaching the gate, the road is curvy at the gate entry and on a hill!

➸WHY MONETARY DONATION? WHY FOOD DONATION?
The Gathering of the Tribe will be held at Sage Valley a private farm property, which is also the home of a non-profit organization. Admission and kitchen donation are requested for entry to ensure we are all giving what we can. No profits will be taken from donations. 100% of the donations will go back into creating the most magical Gathering we can now and in the future. Our goal is to provide for the tribe as much as we can and do it in a sustainable way. Donations can be made online and at the gate. If you find the suggested minimum donation unaffordable, there will be VOLUNTEER opportunities so that you may give back through service to the tribe rather than monetary giving. We also encourage creative alternative donations for admission. A list of acceptable donation items can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lXlLmt3BiOfK6FckOlQ8j5zSouwGEaDCURkqN_Mzivs/edit?usp=sharing IMPORTANT NOTE: Regardless of weather, changes to your schedule, personal choices, sickness, family emergencies or any other reason, all ONLINE DONATIONS ARE FINAL, 100% NON-REFUNDABLE & NON-RETURNABLE. By donating you understand & agree to all the information provided on the donation/ticket website. Tickets are however transferable & you are encouraged to gift your ticket if circumstances arise where you cannot make the event.

➸VOLUNTEER
*more coming soon

➸CAMPING, RVs & BUSES
This is a PRIMITIVE camping event with NO HOOKUPS or electric available. Sage Valley intends to remain off grid. There will be several camping areas designed to meet everyone’s needs and to create an intimate environment. There will be limited car camping available in some pasture areas for people who need or prefer that. There will be a family camping section next to the kid village. There will also be forest camping, but that will require gear to be hiked in. RVs and Buses will be allowed in the car camping sections. Please be aware that this is farm pasture terrain.

➸VENDORS
Come one and come all vending! We encourage vending of your DIY and homemade crafts, art, services, foods, and more! For this event, vending will be free and first come first serve on space.

➸SECURITY & SAFETY
This is primarily a self-regulated event where Tribe members are expected to speak out and stand up for what is right. Don’t be a jerk, bring good vibes, and always remember that LOVE is the answer. However, appointed Peace Keepers will be available throughout the event to ensure everyone’s safety. In this Tribe, we take care of each other and strive to create a SAFE SPACE for all! Please be sure to respect each other and listen.

➸HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY
We will do everything we can to make this event accessible. There will be parking within walking distance from the main event area. However, the grounds are not designed for handicap accessibility. If you have any special needs to be considered, please reach out to the event organizers so that we may try our best to accommodate you. NOTE: The event grounds are typical of Indiana farm terrain. Trails & foot paths are often curvy, rough, grassy & hard to maneuver for some. Therefore we do not consider this land to be accessible for all.

➸LEAVE-NO-TRACE
This is a LEAVE-NO-TRACE event! It's simple: leave the place you visit the same or better than you found it. Pack it in and pack it out. This property is an actual family farm where people live, treat it the way you would want others to treat your own home. If you see others not honoring the LEAVE-NO-TRACE motto take some time to explain to them why it's important & nicely ask them to pick up after themselves. Recycle bins will be available, please be sure to use them! We ask that all trash brought onto the land is also carried off of the land. Trash removal costs us money, uses resources, energy, and time. Attendees found disrupting the natural beauty of the event farm will be removed from the grounds without refund, we are serious here folks! LOVE MAMMA EARTH!

➸EARTH FRIENDLY
Only biodegradable and earth friendly soaps, cleaners, and chemicals should be used at Sage Valley. Let us all be kind to the delicate eco-systems around us. Harmful chemicals can leach into the water systems surrounding us and create a ripple effect with a big impact.

➸SMOKING and TOBACCO USE
Cigarette butts should be properly disposed of and never left on the ground. Smoking should be done away from others and outside of any sacred spaces or family spaces. Ceremonial tobacco use is respectfully permitted within sacred spaces.

➸SACRED FIRE
The main sacred fire should be honored, cared for, and enjoyed with respect. Entry into this space should be mindful. Offerings to the fire are encouraged and permitted items include tobacco or other organic materials. Please do not cook at this fire or burn trash in it- there is a fire in the dining area that can accommodate these needs.

➸PETS
Sage Valley is not responsible for the care and well-being of pets. Pets will be allowed, but please be responsible. Take care of your pets, keep them safe, and don’t bring aggressive dogs. There are farm animals on the property, DO NOT allow pets to disturb the animals who call Sage Valley home. Pets must be up to date on veterinary care, leashed, and cared for at all times.

➸FAMILY AND KIDS
This gathering and Sage Valley is a very family and kid friendly event. There will be a family camping section and Kid Village will have many activities for children. Children age 15 and younger require no admission donation! Please be aware that we encourage freedom of expression at this event, so take precaution for your own family and knowing what you are ok with your children being exposed to.
