SOME COLORFUL DETAILS:



Faeries of all genders welcome.


The cost is free, but please give as generously as you can to help us build our vision.


Please Register at www.faeriecampdestiny.org/gatherings


The communal food and kitchen are vegetarian.


We have weather. Be prepared. It's Vermont.


Bring your own ideas to make the gathering magic — circle ideas, fancy drinks by the brook, a tea-party, an art project, you name it. It takes a village to make a faerie.


Bring WATER, TENT, EXTRA DRY CLOTHES, FLASHLIGHT, BUG STUFF, BLANKETS, DRUMS, STUFF TO MAKE FUN HATS AND OTHER STUFF YOU NEED TO GO CAMPING WITH FAERIES IN THE WOODS.


Dogs: Please be aware that not everyone is relaxed around dogs, and pets should not be at the center of heart or ritual circles. Faeries are prone to sudden outbursts of squealing, singing, clapping, laughing, and some dogs freak and bite. Please be considerate and responsible for your pet if you choose to bring one.

INTERDEPENDENCE CONSENSUS VISION FUTURE

Governess Gathering 2008

July 4 - 6, 2008

This facilitated gathering will feature the history and vision of the Circle and the Land. We'll look at our model of consensus and our history of anarchy. We'll vision about the physical place and houses for faeries that all of us, new and old Faeries alike seek to create in our future work. We will install our "titular heads" -- one of many faerie myths and ruses.

newbie faeries to elders are encouraged to participate. Governess Gathering is called and facilitated by the Coordinating Plan-It who facilitate the overall vision and Circle. For more info and to register visit www.faeriecampdestiny.org or click here.

Work weekends in July

Saturday, 28 June 2008

With the month of June coming to an end (and hopefully all of the rain) the Destinettes will be picking up on the work weekends. Work will begin in earnest at the Governance gathering with efforts focusing on the porch rafters. If we're able to get that finished up will be even closer to getting the upper clerstory windows in and nothing beats having more space to hang out on a rainy day. 

We'll also start work on framing up the walls for the bathroom, shower and mechinical room. Obviously, once we get the walls framed in we can focus on getting the shower and toilet and wash basin set up. If you have skills to offer on this be in touch with Daisy or Bambi. 

We could also use a good chainsaw weekend with all of the downer trees and widow makers lurking out there. If it goes well we'll look into renting a splitter.  

Work weekend schedule for July: 

July 3 - 6        Governance gathering (work on the porch rafters)

July 18 - 20    Work weekend (work on the rafters / maybe start on interior framing)

Jul 25 - Aug 3 Lammas gathering (rafters/ interior work/perhaps begin install of porch)    

Throughout July, Daisy will be around so folks who want to come up during the week to work can also come on up! 

Projects other than the rafters and interior framing need work, the gardens, trimming the meadow, dealing with downed trees, making more tent sites and improving trails are on-going efforts that you might want to plug into as well.
