Step into the Abundance Vortex Weekend!

August 2-5, 2012

Ever wonder what a gift economy would be like? Ever want to just unplug and surround yourself with people who are all about inventing a new way of being in community with each other that doesn't revolve around the mighty dollar?

AV 2012 is a weekend to gather and enjoy community together while camping, playing music, doing yoga, creating art, watching fire dancers and other performances, sharing stories and offering whatever it is you or your family would like to contribute. It's a weekend of counting blessings and meeting people who wish to live in gratitude.

Abundance Vortex is a plant based, family friendly weekend. In the spirit of gratitude we wish to honor the planet as well as our bodies. All outside food items need to be “vegan”. This is a substance-free weekend as well. Please be considerate of your fellow “abundancers” and leave home any items you feel may be in question... that is if you have to ask, you probably shouldn’t bring it.

Food and drinks will be provided by a limited number of vendors at meal times. You are encouraged to bring your own food especially if it is from your own garden or locally crafted.

Leave no trace: AV 2012 is an opportunity for each of us to uplift each other through example. In the spirit of setting a pristine example we ask that all attendees honor each other and the land by cleaning up after your self and leaving no trace. Steps can be taken before arriving that will help to minimize your impact at Ronora.

• Minimize trash by transferring any packaged foods to reusable containers
• BYOD: Bring your own dishes, utensils and water bottle
• Bring your own trash bag or container
• Eat foods that are naturally packaged and compostable like fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds

Respect, compassion, sustainability and self-love are the main motivations for creating this “plant-based” event. Many people attending are already experienced with a plant-based diet. For those of you who are new to this concept, there will be fresh prepared, chemical free, local food available for purchase at mealtimes. We invite you to experience and explore this planet and community friendly way of eating. Plant-based food preparation demos will be held everyday during the event to support those who are eager to learn.
