2016 LovEvolution Gathering - Sharing Our Gifts Freely
Description
We gather together once again in the Blue Ridge Mountains along a pristine river to offer our love freely, knowing that we are the medicine and the gift. Like colored gems in a divine mosaic, we each bring our own precious heartfelt contribution to the whole.
Bring your open heart and gifts to share with our Heart Tribe and immerse yourself in epic nature, flowing water and heartfelt people at Camp LovEvolution for three days of sacred celebration, learning and sharing.
Experience heart and mind opening workshops, ceremonies and celebrations – including Tantra, Singing, Sacred Relationship, Qi Gong, Sound Healing, Yoga, Breath Work and Awakening, Keys to Empowerment, Ecstatic Dance, Song and Fire Circle, Musical Performances, Ceremony, Celebrations and more.
Tickets – This Gathering is a decomodified sharing of what is sacred – our talents, skills, energy, wisdom and love. Therefore in the spirit of trust, we are offering tickets on a donation basis to help cover costs and make this event affordable for everyone. Any amounts collected beyond our basic expenses will be donated to the local Bounty and Soul food bank to feed those in need. Those under 15 are admitted for free.
Note - This is a drug and alcohol free event. After all, the true present is to be truly present.
There is a peaceful revolution spreading around the world that is rippling out from the hearts of millions to create a sea of change. It’s a Revolution of Evolution through Love. It’s the LovEvolution. Come create ripples of love.
Location: Camp Hope (Camp LovEvolution) in the Pisgah National Forest is less than one hour from Asheville, North Carolina just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Address: 312 Camp Hope Road in Canton, NC. The campground is well equipped with a large lodge, kitchen, covered pavilion/band stage and eight bunk house cabins.
What should you bring? This year, in the spirit of “Giving Freely”, we will be doing the entire event by donation, including food. So we will not be catering meals this year. Instead we are going to do one themed communal potluck dinner each night with the organic food you and others bring to share.
Friday night will be Mexican food, Saturday night will be Italian food and Sunday night will be Barbecue night. Please bring food items to contribute to these themed communal potluck dinners. You are welcome to prepare your own breakfasts, lunches and snacks in the kitchen from food you bring. Refrigeration and ice will be available.
Suggested organic food to bring for communal dinners: Mexican night – chips, salsa, beans, rice, tortillas, sauces, avocados, shredded cheese, sour cream, onions, meats, tempeh, veggies, etc. Italian night – pasta sauces, cheeses for lasagna, veggies, pasta (gluten free and organic wheat) Sunday Barbecue – vegetables, meats, tempeh and other items to grill.
Bring your own bedding, pillows, yoga mats and towels for the bunk beds or a tent if camping outside. Bunks in the bunk house will be given this year on first come first served basis. Camp LovEvolution is over 3,000 feet. So bring sweaters and a flash light for night time.
Also bring instruments to play at the dance and drumming circle, a costume for Friday night, colorful dress up items for the costume tent, a sacred item for the heart altar and a heartfelt gift offering for the Sunday gift sharing circle.
Accommodations: There will be eight communal bunk house cabins available as well as areas for tents for those who want more privacy. Bring your own bedding, pillows and towels for the bunk beds or a tent if camping outside. Bathroom facilities, including showers are available. Be sure to also bring a flashlight and personal toiletries.
Note - No camping in woods in tents or hammocks due to the danger of falling branches from dead Hemlock trees. Outdoor camping in tents in open field only.
Safety – To truly open up to each other and share intimately – trust and safety are essential. We ask that all participants share in the responsibility of creating a safe container for all by respecting the boundaries and wishes of others and holding this expectation for others. Anyone not respecting this safe container will be asked to amend their behavior or leave the event.
Pet Policy – Dogs are allowed on property but must be on a leash at all times, as required by the property owners. Only certified "service dogs" are allowed in the buildings.
Volunteering Your Energy and Talent – This gathering is an opportunity for us to share our talents, love and gifts with our tribe. We invite all attendees to volunteer to help with food preparation and serving, greeting and parking, clean up and other activities to keep Camp LovEvolution running harmoniously. Please see the volunteer coordinator to find how you can help.
