Join us Dragonhills for our fourth annual celebration of the fall season rain or shine. We only have a few requests; attend, participate, express, enjoy, and share in the kinship of others.

We are pleased to announce exciting changes this year: we are moving the previous S.T.A.R. Gathering from Southwest Georgia to Dragonhills Retreat, and we are also expanding the event for the greater good of the spiritual community and renaming it "Sacred Roots Festival."

Sacred Roots incorporates all of us, and where we are grounded within ourselves. No matter who you are, you are unique and bring a different root to the festival, to build a community tree like no other!!!

Our theme this year is 'Expression'...

That means Spiritually, Artistically, and Musically. This is a participatory event.

Art- We want art brought, built, and displayed for all to enjoy! We also encourage performance art, a talent show, and other happenings. This also includes FIRE! We hope to have multitudes of fire performers attending, so bring your poi, hoops, fans, whips, snakes, staffs, etc.

Music- We will have a special drum circle with a head drummer who will lead, teach, and get everyone playing. We have an awesome workshop planned that includes many instruments, and things that can be simply used as an instrument!!!

Spirituality- What you find sacred has a place here. We are not by any means going to be dueling for the two major and elder Pagan festivals held here. Sacred Roots is a chance for ALL spiritual-minded people to come share, as long as there is respect, nature-awareness, open minds, and open hearts!

STUFF GOING ON:

Workshops, classes, etc. will be announced soon. NOTE: If you teach a class (sign up here!), you will be reimbursed $10 from your admission fee *after* the class is held, as our way of thanking the class teachers. :)

Mama & Papa will be vending food out of the Kitchen, with restaurant style fare. Hours will be 8am-1pm, 3-7pm, and 10pm-1am (closed during feast). Bring your own snacks and food for in-between hours, or if you do not plan to join us at the feast.

We will have vendors! If you'd like to vend, space is limited, so please inquire to Siryn at La.Siryn@yahoo.com

In addition, a close friend and musical mentor to me (Siryn), we have Grayson Capps, with his band the Stumpknockers, straight from New Orleans. Grayson is a major-label/soundtrack singer, songwriter, and storyteller, and will be performing an acoustic set on Thursday evening, and a full set on Friday evening. We hope to have other artists as well; stay tuned for further announcements.

It was followed by four songs written and performed on the soundtrack to the movie "Love Song for Bobby Long", starring John Travolta and Scarlett Johanson. Not long afterwards, he was relocated by Hurricane Katrina, and released "Wail & Ride". Grayson then released a limited edition of acoustic tracks for the album "Songbones". His latest album "Rott 'N' Roll" featuring 'The Stumpknockers' was released last year.
   If you've never heard Grayson Capps, this is your chance, his music is a blend of sanctified Southern soul, howling back-country stomp and raucous roadhouse blues, with it's roots coming from lifes' experiences, and stories told, it has become known as Rott 'N' Roll! www.GraysonCapps.com
