Sacred Roots
Festival!
Is taking a break in 2010 so Siryn can open her new store, Cosmic Connexions, in Kennesaw, GA! Sacred Roots will return in 2011. Look for it then!
Held at Dragonhills Retreat
in Carrollton, GA
"Focusing on getting back to your Spiritual Roots!"
We are very excited to announce
this latest news!
Join us Dragonhills for our second 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.
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

We'll close Sunday sometime with a traditional healing circle. Any volunteers? please see e-mail address below.
