Non-alcoholic beverages only; mead may be purchased on-site. If you are bringing a crockpot or other serving thingy that needs to be plugged in, please bring your own extension cord, labeled with your name/initials. If possible, please provide a list of ingredients or label possible allergens.
DRUM CIRCLE – Bring your noisemakers as we celebrate the return of the sun with our revelries. You are invited to bring extra drums and noisemakers for the group if you have them to share. This will be outside after ritual, so please dress accordingly.
SHOW YOURSELF OFF – Bring your business cards, brochures, fliers, etc. to leave on our information table. If you are part of a local group or organization, a local Pagan businessperson, artisan or just a generally awesome person, we’d love to learn more.
COLORING TABLE – For kids of all ages!
MEDITATION ROOM – Open throughout the event, come and go as you please. A quiet space set aside for meditation and contemplation. Take a moment to enjoy the magic of the season.
BARDIC CIRCLE – You are invited to share your gift of a song, poem, music, story etc. Your pieces do not need to be Pagan-themed: all gifts of art are appropriate, and all skill levels are welcome and encouraged. No need to sign up in advance!
GIFT EXCHANGE – If you are interested in participating, please bring one or two wrapped, gently used Pagan items to pass onto someone else in the community. No gag gifts, no new gifts.

We look forward to gathering for the Yule season with you!
