Harvest 2010 Gathering
|
 |
Sept 17th - 19th, 2010
Sevierville, TN
Harvest Time! The time families and Communities gathered to collect and share the bounty of the gifts of the Gods, and the fruits of their labors. It is a time of Balance, between light and dark, above and below. It is a celebration of love and of sacrifice, a cutting of the grain and time of the hunt. Join us on the path of the Old Ways as the Wheel again turns toward the darker side of the year, finding the Light of Community that will brighten the night in the months to come!
FUND RAISER – There will be a pancake breakfast Saturday morning 8AM – 10 AM as fund raiser for extra gathering expenses. Cost $3.00 per person.

| Please Bring: |
If you need to buy things, please stop at one of the larger stores, rather than the small convenient stores. It helps keep the small stores able to supply their regular customers, and keeps the rumors and security hassles down.
Tent, sleeping bags, blankets, rain gear and clothing for both warm and cool weather, flashlight, snack foods, ritual gear, drums and other musical instruments. Plan for a wide temperature range, even at this time of the year, but tend toward the warm side. Remember your feast gear and eating utensils (styrofoam plates and bowls are no longer supplied).

We are working very hard to keep our prices low, despite
rising costs for sites, food, and fuel. If you can add something, even a dollar or two, to
your registration, it may help someone else be able to attend. |
| Community
service: |
- Each participant is asked to contribute two
hours of community service during the gathering. Community service is basically just a
little of the background work that lets a gathering happen, and may include helping out
with registration, food preparation, heralding workshops or rituals, helping with the
site, or cleanup. It's fun, and a great way to get to know folks better!
