Full Moon Potluck !

Join in celebrating together. By this simple process, we reconnect with the elemental beauty of creation and human community.

This is a great time for folks who haven’t been to the Strawbale Studio to visit, tour, and meet others. There are also the “regulars” – neighbors and friends – who frequently attend. There usually is wide age range and a number of children !

Feel free to bring musical instruments …and share your local economy if you wish:  things to sell, your business cards…and such!

While this is a free community event ~ donations are (joyfully) accepted ~ with a goal to provide scholarships to enable 5 low-income individuals to attend a workshop this year !

What to expect:

• 6:00 pm   (5p Winter Hours) Meet in the main house.for the GUIDED TOUR the Strawbale Studio buildings & projects  (If you prefer,you can browse the resource books, wander the land, or socialize)      

• 7:30 pm    (Winter 6pish)  Potluck meal followed by a Bonfire, or gather around the wood stove fire in the Strawbale Studio, wander the buildings and land.

What to bring: 

• Bring food to share.  We do a “go around” before the meal, so you can share what you know about your food.  There is a wide variety in eating styles. All are welcome. Bring something you enjoy.
