Important Change - Program books

In order to be more environmentally responsible, along with the dynamic nature of our schedule, FSG is migrating from printed program books to the Sched App. The Program book will be available online via the Sched app or any web browser.

A limited number of printed program grids will be available for free, and also, if you'd like a printed program book, a printed commemorative edition is available for sale for $5 when you purchase your registration.

More About the festival

Free Spirit Gathering (FSG) is a week-long annual event that forms a hub for spiritual seekers, nature lovers, and those in pursuit of community connection. Every summer, people from all walks of life join together in a serene woodland setting, creating an atmosphere of acceptance, growth, and joyous celebration.

A multitude of workshops form the heart of FSG. These sessions cater to everyone from novices to seasoned spiritual practitioners, spanning an extensive range of disciplines and practices. From meditation and yoga, through paganism and shamanic journeys, to music and art therapy, there's a wealth of learning and sharing to explore.

Yet, the Gathering is not just about workshops. It is a space where various rituals take place, providing transformative experiences that can deepen your spiritual path. Additionally, participants are treated to live concerts, featuring a mix of talented local and renowned artists who fill the air with music that speaks to the soul.

Children are warmly welcomed at FSG. A dedicated children's program runs throughout the week, filled with games, crafts, storytelling, and age-appropriate workshops, ensuring the youngest members of our community are engaged and nurtured.

The event also respects quiet and reflective time, with areas designated for meditation and relaxation amidst the natural surroundings. Moreover, participants can peruse vendor stalls selling everything from handmade crafts, crystals, and jewelry, to books, clothing, and locally made products.

Please be aware that the festival is a clothing optional event.

At Free Spirit Gathering, there's a spirit of respect, kindness, and openness, embodying a shared code of conduct that ensures a safe and supportive environment for all attendees. Whether you're attending for the first time or a returning participant, FSG is a place to grow, connect, and celebrate the free spirit in us all.
