WHAT:
BLOOM is avant-garde ceremony, breaking the bounds and touching pure magic as creativity emerges from the trees and forest floor, falls from the sky, and is illuminated all around you. It's a spectacle, an inspiration, an awakening and an offering to the earth and our collective future.
Circle Creative Collective has birthed BLOOM as a joyous way of connecting our community through creativity, performance, music and nature. We conceived this multifarious idea, are organizing makers, volunteers and workshops to support and manifest this dream, and are so excited to offer this to the world.
DETAILS:
On this journey all participants will need to be able to walk for about 45 minutes (about 1 mile) with resting places at the scenes on the path. Once through the circuit of scenes there there will be time to dance and socialize (until 11:30) at the end if you choose.
If not able to walk the full path please come for free and experience the first and last scenes.
This rare dream-like experience will be a time to drop out of the normal mind, so we are asking that there be no talking unless really necessary. Singing and sounding as inspired by the scenes is encouraged. Be thoughtful and considerate of others so as to maintain a sense of deeper witnessing and experiencing.
Delicious food, cider, wine, NY beer and more will be available for purchase at the end of the journey.
Feel free to wear your own magical/wonderful garb or wings.
Delicious sustainably grown food and beverages provided by Stone Ridge Orchard including wood fired pizza, homemade donuts, organic hard cider, beer and more. Please drink and drive responsibly and carpool where possible.
PLEASE:
Leave phones and cameras in your car or turn them off
No "Talking" unless necessary
Wear closed waterproof footwear in case of slightly damp/muddy areas
Wear bug/tick spray (we love cedar oil) and do a tick check afterward
Stay on the path during the walk to avoid tripping or poison ivy
Carpool if possible
EnJOY yourself
None of this would be possible without the contributions of time, love, visions, creativity and sponsorship of our vibrant community. HUGE THANKS for all the ways this vision is being met with action and love. ❤️
