FSG XXVII: Three is a Magic Number
Not the same old FSG! This year, we've introduced some changes we think will really improve your experience.
- No Community Service: We have decided to end our community service program, instead bringing on more staff to take care of jobs formerly done by attendees. Can you still help out? You bet! If you have some free time, turn up at check-in wearing work shoes and clothes and offer to chip in. We'll do our best to find you something to do.
- Got kids? We still have our excellent kids programming, the Free Spirit Academy, for kids 5-10 (or so). In addition, we will be offering programming for tweens and more teen options than ever before.
- FSA Membership: Over the years, we've heard that attendees wish they had more say in how things are run at FSG, and FSA has listened to you! We've made it easier than ever before to become a member and have a vote. All you have to do is register for FSG and then attend the FSA Town Hall Meeting at the event (we promise it won't be held opposite anything else so you won't have to miss anything to go to it) and you'll be a voting member of FSA. Easy, huh? (Of course, if you can't make it to FSG and still want to be a member, that's also possible and easy. More details on that soon.)
Who
are we? We're Wiccans, Druids, Shamans, Asatruar, Solitary Practitioners,
Secular Humanists, and Buddhists to name but a few. Professionally
we include doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, retailers,
and students. We mostly come from the Eastern part of
the country, but we attract
people from as far away as Hawaii, Alaska, California,
Canada, Washington, Texas and Minnesota. We're your neighbors,
your
friends, the people
you see every day, and some that you don't. We are
truly a cross section of the Pagan community. We gather at Ramblewood
Retreat Center for our clothing-optional event June 12-17,
2012.
As always, we’ll have many new vendors on
Merchants Row offering everything from books to tattoos,
terrific Children’s Programming, nightly African style
drumming and dancing by the lakeside bonfire, a full schedule
of sweats in our
Sweat Village
and workshops by nationally and regionally known presenters.
Best of all, we have fantastic programming. For a look at
last year's draft schedule, go
here.
Of course FSG is much more than all that. It's a family
friendly, kid safe, sacred community. A place where you
can openly live and celebrate your spirituality with likeminded
folks, learning and experiencing
new things. And leave feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.
We hope that you will join us!
