SANCTUARY WISH LIST
If you have any of these items, please bring them to donate to the Sanctuary.

Towels
Water glasses, plastic cups, coffee mugs, bowls

SOME THOUGHTS ON SUBSTANCES…
There is an ongoing dialogue in our community regarding substance use.
These are our intentions for the use of medicines such as tobacco and other herbs and substances:
*To create a strong container and a clear conduit for our personal and tribal magic.
*To respect the diversity of experiences, beliefs, and boundaries around substance use.
*To support the healing work of those in recovery or struggling with addiction.
*To honor the medicine spirits and to ask for their blessings.
DUE TO FIRE-SAFETY CONCERNS, SMOKING IS ONLY ALLOWED IN THE FOLLOWING PLACES:
In the Smoking Circle behind the Barn
In the Smoking Circle behind Garden House
On the South side of the firepit
In the parking lot.
COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
We ask you to respect these agreements while at this Gathering:
*Please use all substances intentionally, mindfully, and with respect for yourself and those around you.
*Please be responsible for all items you bring to the Sanctuary. If you pack it in, pack it out. Please leave your camping space and our whole Sanctuary in a better condition than you found it.
ABSOLUTELY NO:
*Speed, heroin, or cocaine—not in you, not on you, not in your car.
*Violence or intolerance.
*Fire, smoking, candles, or incense on paths or at campsites.
*Please bring only natural safe burning items for our community cauldron. The Samhain fire consumes and transmutes that which we release there. Symbols are powerful; synthetics poison the air of your brother/sisters.
Don't Bring a Mess * Don't Be a Mess * Don't Leave a Mess
