The festival will include workshops, performances, rituals, drum circles, and fun for the entire family.

Workshops and Activities
The 11th annual Harvest Rhythm festival promises more of the same entertaining, enlightening, and educating fun for the entire family that has become the norm at these events. The celebration will include; nightly drum circles, sweat lodge, main ritual, bardic circle, native drumming circle, vendors, camping, and several other workshops and activities in a safe comfortable environment.

Join us on Saturday night at Harvest Rhythm for a special party in the coffee house. The psychedelic sixties is the theme so get out your tie dye shirts, head bands and bell bottoms for a fun time of music, dance, and nostalgia. The celebration will include live music by Rainbow Reclamation
Project.

Reading Tarot for Groups with Mama Gina: Your Tarot cards are the perfect medium for reading for groups - be they magickal or mundane. We'll discuss creating group spreads on the fly, and Gina will share some of her favorite techniques. Be sure and ask her about the Texas Hold 'em Poker Tarot Group Spread. There will be a group reading at the end of this workshop - please join us and share in the fun!
Tie Dye workshop: We will learn popular knots and have an opportunity to create our own shirt and designs. You can then wear your shirt to the Sixties Party.
Native Drumming Circle with Ghosthawk: Learn several traditional native chants and then experience them with community in a native drumming circle.

All World Acres is a true sanctuary that is developed, maintained and operated by the community. New improvements include the air conditioned community center pictured at left. Also the cafe now features smoothies and veggie drinks from our own organic garden. Always new projects in the works so please come join our community.

A Typical Day at an All World Acres Festival
In the morning stroll down to the cafe for coffee and/or breakfast. Outside in the courtyard you'll find many people socializing and planning for the day's activities. Wander into the garden circle where you can enjoy a quiet moment for meditation or exercise. The fire circle is another favorite spot in the morning and don't forget a visit to the organic gardens. Next it's time to check out the workshop schedule. They all sound fun and educational so catch a couple before lunch. The afternoon is a great time for shopping and you'll find a bustling merchants' row with a large diverse selection of merchandise. Or if you prefer to soak up more knowledge there's always more workshops. In the evening you might enjoy a concert or show in the courtyard or join an impromptu jam session/sing-a-long. The night is also time for drum circle and a visit to AWA is incomplete without experiencing the magic around the main fire.

First Time Festival Attendees
At All World Acres we have always been proud that many people come here for their first visit to a festival or community gathering. We strive to make everyone feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Want to make new friends? You'll find some of the nicest people you're ever going to meet. Want to remain solitary and just observe? There's plenty of room for privacy and everyone's wishes are respected.
