Event Theme

Each year we create an integral experience around a central theme, and all our workshops, rituals, activities, and even performances are designed to come together for an unforgettable journey.

Theme Details

Springtime is a time for joy, for celebration. The days are becoming longer, the winter chill is gone, and it's time for us, and for the animals and plants of the world to step out into the sun.

But none of that can happen without the winter work that has prepared us and set us on the path for our Beltane awakening; all during the dark times, seeds have slumbered beneath the soil, creatures have hunkered down in their winter torpor...and we, we who live and breathe magic...we have been doing the work during the long dark of winter to ready ourselves to burst forth when the time was right.

As the caterpillar prepares to change, it forms a chrysalis around itself, a shelter so that it can be held safe while it remakes what it was into what it will become. Over the winter, we have done much the same, taking what we learned as we walked the paths in autumn into our yearly shadow work,

protected by our own chrysalis of power.

The time of hibernation, of personal transformation, of remaking who you were and becoming who you will be...all of that work, which took place since the mystic fires of autumn dimmed, is at an end.

Now the work begins: break out of your chrysalis, show the world how you have transformed, and then be who you are boldly and without hesitation.

Join us as we emerge from the darkness to dance and sing and

create magic and beauty together!

Join us at Fertile Ground Gathering: Chrysalis!

Logo Contest

At Fertile Ground Gathering, we are pleased to honor the work of creatives by giving them a space to teach, display their artwork, or in some other way share it with the community.  One way we do this is by seeking out artwork to showcase the event theme each year.  This offers artists an opportunity to be listed on our website as our featured artist.  This year, that honor goes to featured artist Sarah Greenman whose piece titled "Reconstruction of the Mind" was selected for our event theme, Chrysalis.  

 

Another way we are honoring artists this year is by hosting a logo contest!

After enjoying the FGG logo for over a a decade, we are now inviting artists from our community to help shape the next chapter of our visual story. If you have an idea that captures the spirit of our gathering, transformation, and homecoming, we would love to see it.

The winning design will receive a complimentary pass to the entire event (a $300 value).

Please note:  In the spirit of supporting artists and their work, we will only be considering 100% human-created artwork.  Artwork with any AI generated content will be automatically disqualified.  This includes any AI enhancements and/or modifications.
