3:30pm Effigy Building for Lammas & Abundance
Lammas, or Lughnasadh, marks the first harvest — a time to honor the earth’s generosity, the fruits of our labor, and the cycles of giving and receiving. Together, we will build an effigy for this festival to be burned at main ritual as a powerful symbolic act, blending creativity, gratitude, and abundance.
5:00pm Dinner served behind the farmhouse
7:00pm Festival Announcements
Opening Ritual: Honoring Abundance of Spirit & Land with Rev. Sharon & Aradryn at the Maypole
8-10pm A Two-Hour Immersion into Sacred Abundance with Healing Arts Practitioner Amy Carmichael
At harvest time, every ancient tradition asks the same question: What are you harvesting in your own life? This immersion bridges the timeless wisdom of Sanatana Hindu dharma with the abundance energy of the season. We begin with Ayurveda-Tantra Yoga, a gentle embodied practice where breath, movement and intention merge to awaken your body's own intelligence as a vessel of abundance. No experience needed. Your body already knows the language.
From there, we enter Kalpitaru Rewrite - a powerful conscious writing practice name after the wish-fulfilling tree of the ancient Hindhu heavens. You will identify the unconscious stories that have been running your life and literally rewrite them into the reality you choose to harvest. This is not affirmation. This is alchemy.
We culminate in a Living Lakshmi Puja - an interactive sacred ritual honoring Lakshmi the Diving Mother of abundance, beauty and nourishment. You will not simply "watch" a ceremony. You will become the ceremony - we will charge water with your own living energy, receiving the Ashta Lakshmi (8 forms of abundance) frequencies, and walking away not just understanding abundance but embodying it as a walking temple.
Bring a yoga mat, blanket or rug, or you may be seated in a chair.
Come as you are, leave as you will.

9:30am Clearing the Ground to Abundance Workshop with Hypnotherapist Joshua Peters in the Temple Room
Lammas is the grain harvest, where we separate the grain from the husk. Most of us are carrying money stories we never chose, inherited scripts about what we're allowed to have and who gets to have it. This workshop is about finding that husk and setting it down. We'll move through teaching and a guided trance to locate the old programming at its root, and you'll leave with something in your hands: a representation of what you're releasing, and a seed for the ground you've cleared.

11am Activating the Beams Workshop with Hypnotherapist Joshua Peters
Abundance rarely arrives where you're looking for it. It comes through the side door; from the branch of your life, you'd half forgotten. The beams are the many channels through which opportunity reaches you, and most people have let some go dark. In this workshop you'll map the beams across the major areas of your life, then activate them together in a group ritual. You never know which beam abundance will travel down.
