Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

As the Moonlight Market draws to a close, gather with fellow wanderers at the Crossroads to step into a guided ritual journey beneath the night sky. We’ll begin by weaving intention together, grounding our bodies, naming what we seek, and opening ourselves to the quiet wisdom of the land. From there, we walk into the darkness, pausing along the path for reflection, presence, and moments of shared stillness. 


Our path carries us along approximately a one-mile hike with two uphill segments, until live drummers will call us further inward as we walk the spiral, guided through meditation and motion, releasing what no longer serves and inviting what comes next. We close as we began, together but changed; feet on earth, hearts attuned.


A shorter, accessible option is available for those who wish to join at the opening and closing rituals without the full hike. Please wear closed-toe shoes, full leg covering, and bring a flashlight and clothing appropriate to the weather. Come as you are, leave as who you are becoming.
