1:00 PM to 9:00 PM

One of our favourite ways to prepare for the next year is to take a moment to get a sense of all that has happened in the most recent growing season and the life and times of all of the friends and family that contributed in so many amazing ways at OUR ECOVILLAGE in the last year. We do this annually at OUR Harvest Feastival, which occurs this year on October 10th.

It is a time for us to have everyone see what incredible projects, people, and processes have unfolded in the space since we were last together. Please join with us and spread the word to all the folks who have graced this space over the last ten years (or more!)…it is time to celebrate and honour all those that have been and all that magically has been created. After a year of incredible healing and triumph over adversity, we at the Village wish to share our huge gratitude with the wider community for all of their thoughts and support this year. In that spirit, we are thrilled to offer this event as a huge collaborative party, massive thank you, and gathering with the community! This event is free for sustainers, as part of our thanks for their participation in our program.

We will provide main dishes befitting a Harvest Feastival and ask the community to share their favourite sides, potluck-style. The fruits of a pumpkin pie ‘co-opetition’ will round out the menu, along with a no-host bar. We have some fantastic entertainment lined up, and invite you to bring your own as well, however that might look (let us know, so we can sketch out a schedule).

Harvest Feastival schedule:

1–3 pm: Site tours with updates of new projects, people, processes or a brand new look in for folks who have just arrived for the first time!

3–5 pm: Tea and skillshare:  Pie Making Co-opitition begins.  Make one of OUR pies or bring your own prize winning secret recipe pie and bake it while having tea, and sharing.

5–6 pm: No host libations, snacks and time for connecting and catching up.

6pm: Zero Mile Meal Feast – OUR team puts on the Wild Turkey, potatoes, wheelbarrow full of salad/dressing (from OUR land) **you bring a potluck and a pie if you are in OUR Pie Co-opitition! With a special ceremony and Gratitude Circle to thank Great Spirit for the blessings we’ve received in 2015

7:30pm: storytelling, music, face painting, community, and all sorts of entertainment: check back for more details!

This is an HUGE evening of gratitude from all of OUR onsite and offsite family and friends of all folks of the last 15+ years!!  This is a time to celebrate life, vitality, love, possibilities, inspiration, and…what’s next!
