Below is the information for the event. At the bottom of the page you can purchase your event ticket. This will help us understanding who is coming, where they are camping and how many people we can expect for food.

PLEASE DONATE!

We are asking a small fee for the organization of coordination of the community event. Our goal was to invite people to the Sacred Earth and share our experience with our friends. In order to keep the cost down, we are asking for your loving donation for food, trash and also please give generously to your host for camping. Because different land owners have different needs and organizations we decided to keep everything by donation. This gives everyone the freedom to pay as they can knowing that giving always results in receiving.

FOOD

CAMPING

Camping is arranged by each landowner and is not included in the event ticket. There may be a fee, or donation asked for camping and that is determined by the host that invited you. There is a variety of different accommodations, but spaces are limited and on a first-come first-serve basis. Check with the person that invited you for more information about trailer accommodations, RV camping, car camping and tent camping on the Sacred Earth grounds.

TRASH & COMPOST TOILETS

Please beware of trash that you bring into the sacred earth or create. If possible please take your garbage out with you. There is a waste center a couple of miles away. If you need to leave trash bags we will ask for a donation to transport the garage off the property. Trash can be left at the kitchen center.

There will be porta potties located at different locations on the property. Some communities use composting toilets. If there is a composting toilet on your property you will be instructed how to use it. 

DRUGS & ALCOHOL

Drugs and Alcohol are prohibited. 

Although the event is 420 friendly, we discourage individuals from encouraging large group usage.  Alcohol is prohibited on many of the Sacred Earth properties. Many properties are spiritually based and promote health and healing.

Alcoholic intoxication, the excess use of psychedelics, abusive language or offensive behavior will not be tolerated. Sexual harassment will also not be tolerated.

We expect civil conduct. Conflict resolution should be addressed and handled through your host. If you are asked to leave for any of these reasons, a refund will not be issued. Participants that are acting inappropriately will be warned as a courtesy, and asked to leave. If the situation continues the Sheriff will be called. Thank you for making this a safe and enjoyable event. We look forward to your visit and your participation.

PET POLICY

We discourage visitors from bringing pets to the Sacred Earth due to wild animals, poisonous planets, sharp cactus, the hot desert floor and other domestic animals on properties that may not be leashed. If you have a dog, and want to bring them along, please make sure they are on a leash at all times. It is against the law to keep them in your vehicle. Please pick up after your pet. Please bring your own doggie bags or if you forget you can donate $5 for plastic bags. Thank you in advance for being respectful. 

CLOTHING OPTIONAL AREAS

Sacred Earth Community Eco Farm, also known as the back 40 acres is clothing optional. 

CODE OF CONDUCT

Your host is responsible for your behavior. Please be on your best behavior. This is a private camping event meant to invite friends to experience different types of intentional and private communities that live on the Sacred Earth. We set an intention to live in peace.  Although there are planned activities in public venues, there are residents living on neighboring properties. Be respectful of their boundaries. County regulations prohibit loud noises after 10:00 PM.
