Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

A ritual inspired by Heathen Sumbel concepts, boxing and Past, Present and Future. It will be done in three rounds using 1) A Guided meditation, 2) The use of boxing and hand wraps to set intent, 3) a Toast. Swear words and anger are expected.

Ritual is how we step out of ordinary time and into relationship with the deeper currents of existence. It is the way we consciously engage the life force — known across cultures as energy, chi, spirit, or the living dynamo that moves through all things. As part of the natural order, we are not separate from this power; ritual is how we remember our place within it.


In this workshop, we’ll explore how sacred space is created not by tools alone, but through intention, presence, and imagination — our most powerful and often overlooked ritual instrument. Together we’ll examine how ritual opens a shared field where connection, meaning, and transformation can arise.


Suitable for both beginners and ritual veterans, this session offers practical insight, hands-on exploration, and renewed perspective on why ritual works, how it binds us together, and how to consciously shape space that supports magic, devotion, and change.
