Work & Community weekends
Our work weekends are the 2nd and 4th weekends each month, so that we can be ready for our events.
These are Community/work weekends to give folks a time to gather as well as do maintenance on the land and projects.
Those that wish to help with land maintenance and festival prep are welcome to come out Fri evening and set up camp. If you just want to come out and see the land and hang with us Sat night, that is cool too. Camping is available for those that do this as well. You do not have to be a member to come out, you are a guest of the board for the weekend.
On work weekends, we work mostly on that Sat, on Sunday folks are welcome to work on personal campsites. You are welcome to come out on Friday evenings after 6pm. If you are coming out Fri, let us know so we can have someone there.
Please bring hand tools for clearing brush; mostly Loppers, small chainsaws, rakes, gloves.
There is no working on the areas during the week.
Sat evening we do a potluck meal and have fun. We are sometimes show a movie on Sat night.
For those that are coming out just for the evening, camping is encouraged.
We are now doing all our gatherings in DragonHeart Retreat.
Work weekends are the 2nd and 4th weekends. Beltane and Samhain months are every weekend as a work weekend. unless otherwise listed.

ESPOT ‘s The Sacred Feminine, Masculine and Spirit Weekend
This was what we were calling our Men’s and Women’s Weekend. We are working on making it more inclusive for all our members. Part of what we are doing is creating 3 different areas that will have or create their own workshops and rituals. The groups will separate in a ritual Sat morning and will come back together, in ritual, in the evening. Please be patience as we work on this to make sure everyone is honored in what we are doing. This is also the time for coming-of-age ceremonies. If one is wanted, please let us know so we can prepare for it.

We do have options for those that may be in a financial bind but still would like to attend. Please contact our staff at earthspiritpeople@gmail.com.
For Beltane and Samhain, the event is from Thurs through Sun. If you are one of those that like to come early and help out with set up, you are welcome to join us starting Tue of the event.
If you are coming from another gathering the week before and plan on attending ours as well, you can bring your camping gear on the Sun that the other one ends. Just let us know so we can have someone there. There are no extra fees for this.
We do celebrate the other 6 Sabbaths in some form. These will be, for the most part, one day events. People will be allowed to come out the day before to set up camp and stay through Sunday.
These festivities will be on that Sat starting around 10am and will include some workshops/Lectures, a craft that is aligned with that sabbath, a ritual and a potluck. If the weather prevents us from using the land, We have members that are willing to let us use their homes for this. We do suggest a $20 donation to help with costs

If you need assistance with an entry fee, please let us know. Also remember Beltane and Samhain are our fundraisers and are how we raise money to pay our bills, so we can continue to offer these services.
No one is making a profit off what we do. All our board members and Staff are volunteers.
*********
We try to keep our Gatherings Family Friendly.
Working toward this, children are free and are welcome in most of the workshops and rituals.
We even try to have some that are geared toward the younger folks and we are working on a playscape area. We have a trampoline that we will be installing in ground.
While we do have some playscape equipment, donations of equipment in good condition will be welcome.
Parents are responsible for their children in this area.
We do not babysit your children. If you bring them, you are responsible for them. We also ask that underage children not be at the HearthFyre (our main Fire) after 10pm. If they are there later, a parent or guardian must be with them.
Our gatherings are NOT clothing Optional
We do not have a clothing optional area.

There are signs posted at this time, showing where our property ends. There are also fences in the progress of being installed. Please respect them so we don’t trespass on others property..

Update on the property
We have an Address: 100 Flag Hill Rd, Red Rock, Tx.
As it is a new address it is still best to us the 520 Red Rock Ranch Rd. We are located behind that property. The dirt road going up the Hill is Flag Hill Rd. We are hoping to have our entrance done by the start of the Beltane Gathering. Either way there will be signs to help find your way to the parking area.
We have the back 14 acres of the land, now called DragonHeart Retreat. Our activities/gatherings will be in this new area. Please be patience, as we are still working on Permits, utilities, parking and structures. It will be a little more primitive then we are use to till then. We will have water near the HearthFyre area and have set up a shower area. We will be renting port-a-potties till we can get our bathhouse built.
We do have available campsites cleared for use. Also the folks that have been coming out for the work weekends already have camps set up, check before setting up in a cleared camp to make sure it is available. We will have folks to help you find an available spot. We will have a chart of available spaces at the larger gatherings.
All open campsites are named.
