You are responsible for your own camping equipment including tents, food and water. The closest motels (several are inexpensive) are in Tonapah, about 57 miles away from the site. Although this camp is primitive meaning there are no facilities, we highly recommend camping for the full wilderness experience. There is a nearby Hot Springs about 10 miles down the road in a wonderful wilderness location with no conveniences or amenities except for an outdoor shower. There are pools near the Hot Springs that can be used for bathing, and frequent journeys to the Hot Springs are a regular feature of our days. This is a clothing optional Hot Springs but do bring a bathing suit as sometimes families with children gather there. Plan to arrive no later than 5 PM on Sep 21 so you will have time to set up your camp before dark and the evening meeting. We will break camp about 1 pm on Sep 24. The days will consist of beginning and advanced Shamanic Astrology classes with Daniel and the nights will include Daniel’s night sky teachings. The last night features an opportunity to engage in an all night Astrological Vision Quest. This is optional. Flexibility is always a key factor at these events, so the schedule may be adjusted to fit the needs of the campers as a whole and there will be time for hiking and enjoying the area. We highly recommend bringing warm blankets or sleeping bags for evening night sky classes. You may wish to come prepared with drums, rattles, altar pieces or any other ceremonial tools that feel appropriate to you. This is a drug free event. Some suggestions on what to bring: Food (everyone is responsible for their own food) Ice for coolers is available in nearby Dyer 15 miles away just a few miles past the Hotsprings. This is an extremely small town but there is a gas station with a general store and a pay phone. + Lots of Drinking Water. This is important as there is NO water at the camp site. Water is available at the general store. + Tent and a Sleeping Bag (rain is always a possibility) and other camping gear if you are camping. + Layers of clothes...the days are usually quite warm and the nights cool or even chilly. Some years the days have been hot and windy and some years the days are cool and even chilly. + The nights can be quite cold sometimes dropping into the low forties, so plan accordingly. The sun is often intense so you may want to cover up to avoid sun burn. + Folding Chair (nice for night sky and daytime classes) or a blanket to sit on A Small Hand Shovel for creative outdoor bathroom facilities and toilet paper Your Astrology Chart, Ephemeris (if you have one), and the Venus/Mars Booklet available through the Shamanic Astrology Website or at the camp for $5 +Notebook, paper, pens etc. +Flashlight, Camera, Towels, Sun Screen, Lip Balm, Hat, Binoculars There is no shade at the camp site. So, you might want to bring some portable shade such as beach umbrella, or portable awning or canopy.. Also worth considering is bringing a Solar Shower although you can get an out door shower at the Hot Springs. The most important thing to bring is an intent to have fun while learning more about the interrelated mysteries of Earth and Sky. Please do remember this is a drug free event. And finally we ask that you keep in mind this is an unpolluted sacred outdoor site. The only traces of humanity here are the ancient petroglyphs and rock rings. Our intent is to honor this sacred site and to make as little an environmental impact upon the site as possible, leaving behind only our footprints and tire tracks, which the wind and rain erases. Plan to take your trash with you when you leave and leave nothing behind including toilet paper. This is a sacred site and it deserves our honor and respect. Gatherings have been occurring here now at least once a year for the past 5 years and this site remains unpolluted. Wild creatures live in the area including wild horses, and rattlesnakes. Both have been sited and so far have not posed a threat. When we approach these places with reverence and respect paying attention to and honoring the land and the beings already present, the land and the beings welcome our presence. We look forward to sharing this sacred time and place with you. |
