Hello thanks for joining the loop. If you don't wish to receive updates, please
read this email to the finish.



Thankyou for all the feed back and contributions towards community based
gatherings.



I have been working for some time now with the peat's ridge team. The
professionalism

Stacked with such and grounded lateral thinking committed group is sometime
overwhelming.



So many things to consider when running such an event

From council applications, volunteers, singers, dancers, performers, food,
kitchen, refrigeration, sound equipment, ground cover, camping, swimming,
electricity , water, drainage, chai space, healing space, market space, storage
,security ,packaging, presenters,

Site planning, fire, safety, posting, distribution, tickets,

To mention but a few of the tasks, now in their final stages.



If you have considered becoming a volunteer now would be a great time to step
forward.

We are looking for the best of the best. And we are looking for people would
like to do their best in assisting such a worth while community project.



Please contact info@... for more info.



Last sat night was the 4th OPEN MIC NIGHT although a smaller gathering to what
we have become accustomed to.

The unity in the room was astounding. Every body had something to contribute.

We will let you know when the next date will be as the peat's ridge festival is
taking up much of our time

November 27th and 28th

Healing / ConFesters reunion, weekend at the grove.

I was first introduced to Jackie and Profter at the grove more than 4
years ago. This place is magic.

Placed in a valley near Wiseman's Ferry on a tidal river where a high tide
clothing optional swim is just part of the experience.

The Community vegetarian meals usually fireside gives place for interesting
discussions and exchanges not often experienced in today's world. To some this
place is very challenging. Most who experiences this place takes something home
with then they don't soon forget (in a good way J).

"The Peat's Ridge Festival"

This festival was first conceived 7 years ago by a man with a big vision and a
few distractions. TILL NOW. Over the last seven years the energy and inspiration
has grown. People who have gained a glimpse of this vision are eager to jump
aboard.



I have J

Those with a bigger vision will be inspired by what is really going on here.

December 29th-4th January

Down to earth presents Confest Usually held somewhere on the NSW,VIC Border this
next one is at Deniliquin. Confesters (conference festival) is a place where
people come together and share what they know. You are free to do nothing or run
around all day doing all the workshops which are free after entry. Camping is
very primitive as are all the amenities. this are often a great talking point to
the "confest newbie's and veterans alike.

The highlights for people who attend are varied.

The new years eve bash, concert night, wandering minstrels, endless workshops,
massage tent, Chai tent, Healing space, Arts village, Pagan village, market
place, pizza, clothing, mud to mention but a few.

I recommend anyone who is in the looking zone to pop your head down for the next
ConFest. Or if you feel the heat a little maybe consider the Easter ConFest.
