Camping and Overnight Accommodations
Again this year, we are going to let people camp wherever they want - in the field, forest or in-between. The pottapotties, showers, potable water, meals and concerts will all still be down near the house so if you camp in the woods, plan to get your hiking in. There will be designated fire pits. Do not make new ones. This time of year is typically dry but rainstorms have been known to happen, so we strongly recommend you bring a tarp or ground cloth to put under your tent.
Parking space is limited, so no campers or RV's, please.
There are a limited number of B&B's and inns in Bethel and nearby towns. Please contact Laurelin staff if you would like further information.
Toilets, Showers, and Water
Port-a-potties will be available on-site. There is an outdoor shower with warm water. (You may want to bring solar showers if you like warm/ hot showers). There is an outdoor sink for washing dishes and drinking water. All of these are down near the main house.
Meal Plan
We will again be offering our delicious meal plan - with both carnivore and vegetarian options - catered by the amazing Chef Dave. It includes: breakfast, lunch and dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and brunch on Sunday (10 meals).
The plan can be bought either for the whole festival, Friday through Sunday, or just Saturday and Sunday. If you are signing up for the meal plan, we need your registration NO LATER than July 15th.
Please also let us know right away if you have any special dietary needs/ allergies.
Village Builders
This year we will be having a special day for those people who would like to come together as a smaller group to share, connect and participate in the creation of our magickal village. In ritual and with magickal intent, we will break into teams each dedicated to creating and maintaining one aspect of our magickal community - some hard physical labor, and others less so. Arrival is by Noon on Tuesday, August 3rd. There is no cost for coming to Village Builders however the meal plan will be offered (dinner on Tuesday, breakfast, lunch and dinner on Wednesday). Cost for the Builders meal plan is an additional $28.00.
Workshops, Rituals, and Activities
If you have an idea for a workshop, ritual, discussion, performance, or children's activity - we'd LOVE to hear about it! Don't be shy - we're open to any and all ideas. Help us make Lughnasadh an exciting, rich and fun-filled experience that will keep everyone coming back year after year (and bringing more friends too!). Send your proposals via email to: laurelin@sover.net before July 1st. (Sooner is better!) You will be notified by July 8th whether or not it is accepted.
Vending/ Merchanting
We've got plenty of space and there is no fee for merchanting; however, we do ask a 10% commission on your sales at the end of the event. One person (the merchant) can have their registration fee waived. Any guests/ helpers would have to pay full registration. You still have to provide your own food, travel, etc. as well as your own setup/display, weather protection, and safe storage facilities. If you are interested, please email us with:
- Name of Business
- Address of Busines
- Phone & Email of Business
- Principal Vendor (who will be running the booth)
- Description of good/ services
- Photos of booth and/or Website information (These can be very useful for promoting you before you even get here.)
Pets/ Dogs
Dogs are welcome this year at the festival. However, you MUST provide proof of rabies vaccination or your dog will not be permitted. Further, all dogs must be kept on-leash at all times in the fields or around the house. They are free to run loose in the wooded areas. You are expected to pick up and dispose of any waste left in areas where people will be walking, camping, etc.
Your pet must be calm, non-disruptive, and under your control (on leash or off) at all times. If it fights with other animals, is disruptive by barking or other behaviors, is threatening or causes damage to the site or its other occupants, or not under your control at all times you will be required to take the pet off-site with no refund.
For more information or to get a registration packet: contact Kirk at laurelin@sover.net or 802-234-9670

Wed Apr 13, 2011 7:48 pm (PDT)
So I have a cyst on my face. How fantastic. Went to the Dr and she said if it
gets bigger I can get plastic surgery to get it removed (hope I don't have to do
that!) or I can just leave it. Well, its a little red and pretty noticeable.
any ideas on ways to get the swelling down or help it go away?
thanks so much

Water Meditation
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:18 pm (PDT)
Water Meditation
Water that bathed the
Buddha statues is saved and thrown on the faithful to cleanse them of evil
spirits. Take a small box of baking soda and two cups of sea salt, and add them
to warm bath water. Play meditation or temple bell music, and burn a new white
candle. As you slip into the bath, let the warm water engulf you. Visualize your
worries, your guilt and self-criticism, and all your frustrations fall away
from you into the water. Feel how much lighter and freer you feel as the water
gently laps around you. Stay in the bath as long as you feel comfortable. By: Lily Gardner-Butts

Seeds of Opportunity Spell
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:19 pm (PDT)
Seeds of Opportunity
Spell
What do you want to achieve before the
next Full Moon? Whether it’s a new job, new career, or a quick stash of
cash, this spell will lead you to your goals. Start by listing the short- term
goals that will lead to your long-term aims. All goals need to be specific to
time and outcome and take the form of: “I will blank.†For example,
“I will update my resume by April 21.†Once you have your goals
listed, place a terra cotta pot, filled with soil, on your working space. Light
a gold or a green candle that has been placed in the soil. Allowing a separate
line for each, write out your specific goals. Then state these words:
“As the earth nourishes the seeds of spring, so will
these seeds be nourished. “
Each time you fulfill a goal, cut off
that line, bury the paper in the soil, and repeat the above words. Relight your
candle during the Full Moon in celebration of meeting your goal.

Daily Aromatherapy Tip...Hand and foot massage
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:19 pm (PDT)
Daily Aromatherapy Tip...Hand and foot massage
Another way to use
essential oils is a hand or foot massage. Children love a hand massage and who
doesn't like their feet rubbed.
If you visit someone in
the hospital or a nursing home try the hand massage. Lavender would be a good
choice. Remember everyone
likes to be pampered.
Use 3-5 drops of essential oils per Tablespoon of base oil.
Use 1/2 the adult dose for children and the elderly.
Choose Sweet Almond, Apricot Kernel or any other unscented oil.

Homer, The Odyssey
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:24 pm (PDT)
In the hearth, a merry fire burned, of cedar and of sandalwood,
so fragrant that an visitor smelled it from afar.
Calypso sat there, busy at her loom, her golden
shuttle darting and her light voice lilting with song.
A think forest surrounded her home, with alder, poplar,
and cypress, whose sweet smell hung in the air like
smoke. And in the trees great birds had nested: owls and
hawks and crows of the sea. Before her door grew a
massive vine, so hung with grapes it seemed the fruit
would break the branches. Four streams passed nearby,
irrigating beds of violets and flowering herbs, Even the
gods were charmed when they visited Calypso's home.
~Homer, The Odyssey
Home is important. Even animals know it. Watch the fastidious actions of birds as they build their springtime nests. Somewhere within them lies a pattern for such a nest, and each spring this pattern calls forth their efforts.
Within each of us, too, there lies a dream of home, of a place where we can be at peace and at rest. It is an interior space as much as an exterior one. It is a place where we feel safe and secure, where the outer world's cares fade away.We build our homes around ourselves like protective cocoons. Yet no outer space, no matter how well-appointed or attractive, is ever more than a container from our inner selves. As we find more peace within our hearts, we will discover that we can make ourselves safe anywhere, even far from the place we call home.
