COMEGA Weekends

What Will Happen This Weekend?

Friday evening will start with registration and a wholesome meal (if you prefer vegetarian food, please indicate this on the registration form). Following the evening meal will be a traditional opening circle, where we will begin the process of forming a sense of community. Following the opening circle you will have an opportunity to participate in a drumming and ceremonial experience.

Saturday activities will include three meals, a brief opening circle after breakfast, a number of workshops, and several hours of free time to explore the grounds, hike,or relax. After the evening meal, we will again gather in a community circle to reflect on the day's activities, followed by drumming and a talent show.

Sunday begins with breakfast, then an opening circle and more workshop sessions. There will be a closing circle in the morning, before lunch, to provide a formal, ritual closing to the weekend. Farewells and cleanup will follow lunch. Departure is slated for 2:00 PM.

This is an alcohol-free, drug-free, and weapons-free event.
