Vegetarian meals are included in ticket price for Friday night, three meals Saturday and Sunday morning. Accommodations are separate as "add ons" when you purchase an All Inclusive ticket. The housing is very reasonably priced but there are plenty of Airbnb's in the area if you wish for more privacy. There is one Friday night only ticket but no single day ticket for any other portion of the weekend.

The weekend begins with registration Friday September 13th at 5:30 pm and Spirit Gallery with Salicrow will follow. Later that evening we dive into a discussion about use of psychedelics for the living and the dying. Saturday we will welcome six presenters and experience a keening exercise at twilight to the mournful bellows of live bagpipe. Sunday morning we will be back to the presenters and will wrap up at 11:30 am. Everyone will be invited to a picnic lunch (buy your own at the local store) at Casa Luna or a nearby lake.
