∴ TROPISM ∴
noun /trō′pĭz″əm/ 1. The turning or bending movement of an organism or a part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus such as light or gravity.
May 25/26, 2024: A weekend campout of intimate live performances, workshops, collaborative art projects, film screenings, studio tours, and independent book and record fair. Beautiful forested campsites and private lake for swimming. Turn toward the sun with us. Notice: Tickets are VERY LIMITED, this is a cozy smaller event, don't wait to reserve yours.
~ GREETINGS ~
Each year our community rallies together to give our wildest goodbye to the summer energy at our flagship festival, Sh’BANG! It’s become a tradition for so many people to gather at this time, and some incredible experiences have been had among new and old friends in the 15+ years that we’ve hosted this event!
As stewardship of this land matures, we want to invite more opportunities to explore together, so we thought we’d instigate something new: a chance to celebrate together, and to share the creative projects developed in winter’s isolation, which have since bloomed into being and are ready to meet the summer sun! The quarry waters will have begun to warm. The sauna will be lit. Come pitch a tent in our field and among the trees, and bask in dappled forest light for a weekend of art and music!
