The gathering is held on the shores of Lake Superior adjacent to an incredible remote beach with northern
hardwood forests, Black Ash bogs, grassy campsites, traditional wigwams and a modern ceremonial
roundhouse. Many past participants say this is the most beautiful gathering spot they've ever been to.

Skills and topics presented stem from traditional cultures around the world.

For those of you who have never been to a gathering, be ready for too much to do in not enough time. We
want to stress the point that the skills you will learn and the items you will make are secondary to what
you REALLY gain from being at this event; a step away from the everyday, deeper awareness of nature &
our roots, great friendships, time to slow down, and time to focus on a topic that most interests you. After
it's all over many say "This is how we're supposed to live!"

We uphold an environment that is family oriented and respectful to all. The key word here is respect.
Respect for others and yourself. The gathering emphasizes earth based living skills from many different
perspectives. It does this without subscribing to any one belief system, way of living, or ideology. You may
join in many different social activities: music and dancing, story telling and trading, or, a variety of light to
intense circle discussions. Feel free to spend time alone on the beach too! Come with an open mind, share
your ways, and be respectful of others. This is a unique and powerful time when we can come together to
acknowledge and admire both our similarities and differences.
