Line Up
We don’t announce our line up… ever.
Intentional + Consent Culture
Our events are intentional - we are here as an alternative to the binge culture of the mainstream. Do take care of yourself and each another as taxis will be called by our friendly security team for those that cannot look after themselves. If you see someone that needs help or doesn’t look okay, reach out.
With you, we are co-creating a culture where everyone feels safe and respected. If you’re not sure about whether what you’re doing is okay, just ask. Be aware of the people around you and think about how you might feel if you were them. Sometimes people don’t want to hug you, don’t want pictures taken of themselves, or don’t want you all up in their personal space. If someone says “no” it means "no". If it's not a "Fuck yes!" it's not a "yes".

Location
The celebration takes place on land that used to be some of the most agriculturally productive land in Colorado but due to industrialized agriculture, has become highly degraded. Water still remains only a couple of feet below the surface as the land is situated on top of one of the biggest aquifers in the USA. With views of the Great Sand Dunes as well as the Sangre De Cristo mountains, antelopes, coyotes and many other high mountain creatures call this place home. With the resources gathered by the celebration we support everyone who made the celebration possible as well as the land the celebration is on. Regenerating the land the celebration is on, so that more humans, plants and animals can find a place to call home. Enabling a deeper sense of connection and love for the interconnectedness of everything.
