Root to Rise: Midwest Gathering

Bridging Communities Across the Land

Soul Fire Forest is honored to partner with Circle Pines Center for this special gathering in the Michigan woods. For three days, we'll come together with fellow land-based communities to share skills, stories, and visions for the future.

What to Expect

This gathering weaves together the best of both communities: Circle Pines' rich cooperative heritage and Soul Fire Forest's focus on traditional crafts and earth skills. Expect workshops in permaculture, natural building, fiber arts, and fermentation. Evening programs include campfire songs, storytelling, and community discussions.

Accommodations

Camping is included in your registration. Circle Pines also has cabin accommodations available for an additional fee. All meals are included and will be prepared collectively.

Getting There

Circle Pines Center is located in rural Michigan, about two hours from Chicago. Rideshare coordination is available, contact us for details.
